Digital camera reviews of X-Rite Eye-One Display LT
Digital camera Review: Excellent Colorometer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great meter. I use it with the free downloadable software HCFR. I fully calibrated my Epson Home Cinema 1080UB projector with this, and the picture is stunning, just stunning. There is a fantastic write-up on how to calibrate your TV or projector here:

It was also very plug and play to calibrate my LCD computer monitor. I used the supplied software to calibrate the computer monitor and it made a nice profile for the monitor that loads everytime the computer starts up. Very nice.

Digital camera Review: Excellent Price, Excellent Product
Summary: 4 Stars
The Eye one does exactly what it says - calibrate your monitor so what you see is what you get when you make prints. I would have given it 5 stars if the directions were a bit clearer. But just using the defaults brings you very close to perfect prints. Note: you must download the paper/printer profile from the manufacturer of the paper to get excellent quality prints to match your monitor.Digital camera Review: Eye-One Display LT does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
From what I can still tell, the LT model does most of what I will ever need (versus Pro model). I bought it to get improved consistency in the color rendition across my prints -- some done in labs, some on professional inkjet printers. Everything has worked like a champ, and I can see a visual difference on the screen which I'm hoping will translate into more consistent color on my prints.
The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is that there are couple usability improvement that are needed. First, there were places in the UI where I pressed the wrong button/choice because it wasn't clear or intuitive which option to choose. If I had read the instructions on the right hand side of screen, it would have been fine (I don't usually read instructions). The other reason is that I had cleared out the items in my Windows Startup folder, and not only did I wipe out the ICC profile data, but I couldn't figure out a way to get the profiles back short of re-installing the software. I should have been able to just run the calibration software, but tried and it didn't do the trick. Again, might be user error, but it could have been more intuitive.
Otherwise, I'm really pleased with the ease of setup and use, and would still highly recommend the product to anyone who wants an entry level solution and questions whether they need the 'pro' version.
Digital camera Review: Eyeone calibration
Summary: 5 Stars
Use product with care. If calibrating a television set with the service menu, take down all default settings in the service menu before using the eyeone display. Great product.Digital camera Review: Good device, instructions cold be better
Summary: 4 Stars
The CD installed 3 software executables without any desktop shortcuts. The sparse documentation gave no hint of which of the 3 modules to start with. I ran "Eye-One Diagnostics" and it could detect the device. Vista complained that the driver was not digitally signed. I finally hunted around on the xrite web site to find and download the correct driver, and then I had to hunt through the Vista hardware device list to find the Eye-One and install the driver files.
