I got tired of my Monitor not matching my prints! :huh
So I have one of these coming (2nd hand 1 week old $60)
Anyone use one of these? Reviews looks good!!

I was told by person who does Wedding Photography I didn't really need the PRO model.
Says this one works just fine.

    I just got mine today and I'm not really sure I like it. It makes everything more green and warmer, to my eyes and my DW's.

    Anybody got any tips on setting this thing up? I followed the intructions and it does change the look of everything but I'm not sure it's for the better.

    I have one and like it. It was easy to set up for me. Just make sure to turn off the Adobe Auto Gamma program.

    It's only part of the process thou.....

    I also use a Photovision One Shot Target

    I use that before shooting and the Huey keeps my monitor looking good.

    Also I turn off most of the lighting in the room for image editing.
