I posted something about this a while back, but I'll reiterate ;)

I just got one about 2 weeks ago and I really love it. At first, it made the colors look off - way too red. But once I got used to it (several days) I realized that my screen really had been WAY too blue. It's made a huge difference. And it was cheap and easy to setup and use. Honestly, I wouldn't trade mine away.
Cheers

Eh, the forum search stinks. No worries. If you have any specific questions about Huey, I'll be happy to answer, if I can.

i just wanted to know if someone has used it,

do your prints come out like the screen looks,

do you think you would notice a diference beetween this one, and the spider pro.
there is a big price gap, i just dont know why .

I haven't tried sending away for prints yet, but stuff coming off my HP inkjet looks good.

As far as the Spyder systems go, I've heard that they have more fine-tune control and are somehow more "pro" level, but for me, that didn't warrent all the extra cash. The Huey performs. IMO, it keeps my screen looking just as good as the ones I've seen that have been Spyder turned.

And the one thing it does that the others don't seem to is the constant monitoring of the room light. That's important to me throughout the day, as the sunlight moves from one window to the next and alters the lighting. It adjusts for that on a schedule, or whenever I tell it to.
