Monitor Calibrator

[zioxide]

I'm looking to buy a monitor calibrator when I get my new Macbook Pro, so I'm wondering what ones are good or not. I don't want to spend too much money (hopefully less than $100). Anyone have any good recommendations?

Well Apple do provide you with a color calibrator which does the job well.

What else are you after that the default program doesn't provide?

I have one of those, works very well, and very automatic, which is nice. However, I find its better use is that I can calibrate all my displays the same (dual screen setup + laptop) I dont know if its necessary for just one machine unless u are doing some mission critical stuff.

I've been using Pantone's Huey calibrator on my Mac and on my work PC, and I'm very happy with them. The Huey is $89, the Huey pro is $129.

I saw that one while I was searching, and the reviews were all good and it's not too expensive. I might end up getting that one.

Colorvision Spyder2 Express for about $60 from Amazon does a good enough job for my photography hobby (shooting motorsports with Nikon D200, use Adobe Lightroom and PS CS3).

It's cheap, easy to use. I got it because it was recommended by members on Nikon Cafe.
