Review of the Pantone Huey monitor calibration system

The Huey, from Pantone/gretagmacbeth sets a low cost entry point for monitor profiling and calibration software.

Keith has been looking at this unique device (it is a colorimeter) and the approach it takes towards offering colour management and improving colour on your display.

2013 – Because of the huey’s age, we suggest looking at the Spyder 4 express or ColorMunki Smile for basic monitor calibration.

2012 – See the Huey Pro review for current product info

June 2007 – Pantone have sent us a huey PRO to have a good look at – the huey PRO has wider control over brightness and contrast, with separate menu choices for the selection of gamma and white point settings. It also supports multiple monitors. Keith has now written a review of this new product

The Mac version of the Pantone Huey is reviewed here, but the Windows version works in the same way.

Monitor calibration

How do you know that a particular colour red on your monitor is correct? If you send me a picture, then how do I know I’m seeing what you did?

If you are completely new to colour management you might also want to look at the very short ‘What is Colour Management’ article I’ve written.

There is really only one place to start with Colour Management – your monitor. If it doesn’t display accurate colour, it’s difficult to get your prints right and even less likely someone else will.

Before calibrating your monitor on Windows PC systems, you should check to see that Adobe gamma is turned off if it was installed. We’ve got a short guide to removing Adobe Gamma that might be of help.At it’s simplest you should adjust your monitor by eye to get good brightness and contrast. There are various software tools that can help you in this (see the Viewing Page in the Articles/Resources section) but these are at best a partial solution (they rely on your eyesight for one thing).

You need a hardware device of some sort that will make the adjustments for you. The software that comes with the device builds ‘icc monitor profiles’ which are used by your operating system (MacOS or Windows for example) or software (such as Photoshop) to produce an accurate display.

There is one last aspect that is important — standards. There is no point in me having my monitor set up to some arbitrary setting, if there is no way of you knowing what my setting means.

This comes about from there being no one ‘correct’ way of setting a monitor. I’ll come back to this later when I’ve shown how the Huey profiling colorimenter and software works.

Will the huey make my monitor match my prints? I’ve been asked this a couple of time and have written a short article on how it will help, but why you need to consider some other factors as well.

What do you get?

The Huey is a small 10cm long device that comes with a stand, USB extension lead, software CD and pack of screen cleaner.

The picture shows the device at almost life size.

The sensor clips into the stand, and is used in this configuration to detect changes in room lighting.

One feature not mentioned in the (brief) literature supplied with the device, is that the base can hold the cable and USB plug underneath.

The grey patch half way along the back of the device is the ambient light sensor.

The four patches at the bottom are LEDs that light up when the device is being used.

Also, take care with that very thin USB cable, it wouldn’t take too much of a tug to break it. Install bootmii as boot2.

The screen cleaner is supplied to clean your screen before measurements, and help the Huey stick…

Using the Huey

Installing the monitor colour correction software on my Mac simply required dragging the application from the CD to my Utilities folder (this just happens to be the place I put such things…)

Opening the application for the first time lets you review the help file – but all it really needs is to press the START button

There is a question mark icon to the right that reveals the help info. You should also be able to check for software updates, but all I got was a server error page — oops

Select your screen type (LCD in this instance)

Put the sensor into its stand to check room lighting

… and on my desktop machine.

Next you are asked to attach the sensor to your screen.

It says that it’s OK to stick to LCDs, but obviously I didn’t attach it too well.

The sensor falls off my screen. You can see the blur of the red LEDs on the back of the sensor as it plummets to its doom (pure luck this photo!).

That’s it … I’m not sticking things to my rather expensive LCD screen!

I’d suggest that if you have an LCD you use gravity to assist.

I cannot recommend trying to stick anything to an LCD.

Tilting the monitor back allows the Huey to rest in place.

Note also the similarity in organisation between my computer desktop and actual office desktop.

Similarly, here is the Huey being used on my PowerBook.

The screen shot below, shows one of the coloured patches that the device reads (grey in this case).

The green dots display the progress of the calibration process.

When the 26 green dots are lit up, the process is complete.

Afterwards you can replace the sensor in its cradle.

You can see just how much the calibration process has changed things by switching between corre
