7 Things to Know About the FCC’s 700 MHz Auction

If you use multiple computers during your day, you know that all monitors are not created equally. A computer monitor uses phosphors or crystals to colourize light as it’s transmitted through the screen. Depending on the manufacturer’s specifications, gradual deterioration of materials and the type of backlight used, the resulting colour can vary significantly. Add ambient light to the mix and you have entered the dogmatic world of color management.

Pantone, the print industry standard for consistent colour, and X-Rite (formerly GretagMacbeth), the leader in colour measurement, have teamed up to create a simple, powerful and affordable tool to calibrate any type of display.

The Huey Pro suction-cups to your display while easy to use software steps you through the 2-5 minute process. The unit measures 22 colour swatches, creating a custom colour profile for true and neutral output. When the process is complete, the Huey rests in a desktop dock to automatically measure and adjust for changing ambient lighting conditions in the room.

Though this is a professional colour calibration tool, its price and ease of use is making the Pantone Huey Pro popular in the Pro-sumer photography market.
