i think the huey pro is a lil bit above $100 which gets you good result. id recommend the iDisplay2 though if youre able to spring up some extra cash fro it

If I had it to do all over again I would have gotten the X-rite. I've been using Spyders for a long time and have stuck with them. It's been working fine for me but the X-Rite seems to be better.
Pick up the Eye One Lite. It's the same hardware and compared to the others, you probably won't notice the minor restrictions on the software. The Lite version can be had for just over $100, the full version will cost you $200.
I use a huey pro, you should be aware that it can cause a colour tint with some monitors (it created a greenish-tint on my laptop). If that's the case they will send you another which will correct the problem and remove the tint.
I've had mine for about 14 months now and haven't had a problem, other then the tint which the resolved quickly with excellent customer service.

I selected the Huey Pro because it can calibrated a dual monitor system.
So can the Eye-One Display 2. One drawback of the Huey is the auto display ambient level adjustments. That will seriously screw up your efforts to produce repeatable results. I've seen the I1-D2 as low as $149.

So after the initial calibration, unplug the Huey if you don't want the auto display adjustments based on ambient light changes. That is how I calibrated my laptop (no ambient adjustments).

So you can tell it specifically what luminance you want for the display and not to use the auto adjust? If so that would be better.
Thanks

Not exactly. You adjust the settings with the Huey attached. Then when you are done, just disconnect it and tell the software not to auto-adjust based on ambient light.
If you currently have nothing, Spyder, Eye-One, and Huey will all give you better color. Just buy one and use it. Remember, none of them do any good if you don't routinely calibrate.
