Match Point

Pantone's monitor calibrators run from simple to elaborate, with a wide variety of features and prices. For beginners, its Huey ($80, street) is a good choice, but serious photographers looking for higher-level controls, accuracy, and calibration options should consider Pantone's new Eye-One Display LT ($115, street). Like the Huey, you can use it to calibrate either CRT or LCD monitors with push-button simplicity, and it also measures ambient light. The kicker: pro-level tools, including the ability to select gammas between 1.8 and 2.2, adjust target color temperature and luminance, calibrate multiple monitors connected to a single workstation, and, thankfully, store all that information in a custom profile.
