Display calibration tool?

[TheBuzzer]

Which one is the best to get?

There is huey, display 2, spyder 3, and maybe others.

Which one is a good one to get? I want to get one to calibrate all the monitors in the office.

Eye One Display 2 is excellent for both standard and wide gamut displays, and will give you better results than any of these, even with the relatively "spartan" bundled software.

If you want the full suite with top notch software and a colorimeter, then I would consider Lacie Blue Eye Pro, or BasicColor Squid2. Both of these are bundled with the Eye One Display 2.

which one is better basiccolor squid2 or lacie blue eye pro?

Or should i ask which one lets me use on more than 1 machines. I heard some of the software is limited to just 1 machine

I would say to do that Lacie would require "less work"

What do u mean. So i can't use it on more than 1 machine?

Well I ordered the lacie blue eye pro refurbished one for 166. New one cost 300 dollars. That is so expensive.

Personally, I would never buy a refurbished meter. In order to be useful, a meter must be correctly calibrated or it will wrongfully read measures leading to poor calibration.
It is known that a meter loses precision over the years (they drift). Fortunately, some more expensive meters can be re-calibrated at the factory.

For LCD (excluding LED and Plasma), one of the best alternative is the Eye-One Display LT.
