Yay or Nay..

Bout time I got something like this, and just need your opinion please. Does it matter what OS you have?

Cheers..

Does it matter what OS you have?

You mean apart from the ones listed in:

System Requirements

CRT and LCD Monitors
Windows® 2000, XP, and Vista
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
USB port

Once again I failed to read everything..

I'll assume '10.3 or higher' includes Leopard.

I once looked at the huey...
I read mixed reviews on it.

Most of them said its better than no calibration, but the general consensus was it wasn't adequate for professional photography - deriving an income - where image quality is paramount.

I ended up getting my Eizo calibrated with a borrowed eye-one.

Look into going in with some other photog's for a better one or ask around here to borrow one.

hope that helps.

Although I have the Spyder I was actually looking at this one on ebay last night

Go for it - it’s a good unit and I believe it takes ambient light into consideration as well.

I have a Spyder also. i found that my main BenQ monitor was very close . But the Laptop LCD was out a fair way.

And then I guess whether you really want or need super accurate colours?

i was hoping to buy a r1800 and profile some papers but that dream is on hold at the moment.

Price seems alright.But with the Aussie $$ going OK what can you get from the States?

GoodLuck

Thanks lads. I found a good review site with all the main players:

I think the mags will also be happier once I calibrate my screen..

Feels like Christmas already with all these new toys I'm buying myself.

Next thing to fix:

Figure out why all my images on my site disappeared!!

I have the base version (same hardware but original software)
and I'm trying to find somewhere where I can purchase the upgraded software but the only links I can find supply to the US and Canada only

I like the product but I think the new software would make it even better
