Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of X-Rite Eye-One Display LT
Customer Review: Very Happy
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this product with the Color HCFR program to calibrate my HDTV. For this purpose it did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier.
However, the program that comes with it is absolutely horrendous. I attempted to use it to calibrate my computer monitor. It did it automatically, and when it was done it was so bad that it hurt my eyes. It was way to bright, and while it said the color was "balanced" it was waaayyy to blue.
While this would be a 5 star product, the included software is so bad I could only give it 4 stars.
However, if you plan on using the Color HCFR program to calibrate your HDTV or monitor, I believe this product is very hard to beat for the price.
Customer Review: Works as expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I used the Eye One Display LT for calibrating the gray scale and color management system on my plasma TV. That is not the intended purpose of this meter, and I had to download the free software program Colorimeter HCFR and learn about calibration by reading online guides. But with some effort, I was able to do what I really wanted. The picture quality on the TV is visibly better after having calibrated it.
Pros:
Fast for above IRE20 readings
Supposedly more accurate that Spyder 2, which is the only other meter option below $150
Supported by free software to extend it beyond the intended purpose
Cons:
The USB cable is too short when working with a big plasma
Customer Review: You new realize how blind you were until you see the light
Summary: 4 Stars
I just receive my Eye-One LT in the mail and put it to work right away. The color are amazing. I've never heard of monitor calibration until a few days ago after taking a fine art printing class using CS3. I guess the instructor was right when he said that if you wanna get what you see on your screen to come out of your printer you have to calibrate your monitor. Needless to say I'm very satisfied with the product. i will recalibrate my monitor with it every 2 weeks.
As you can see I only give it a 4 star rating because, like it's said in previous reviews, the software disk that came with the Eye-0ne LT is outdated and worthless. [...].
Customer Review: Calibration made easy
Summary: 4 Stars
I know some folks hate this product or its too slow or what not. I use it to calibrate my tv's at the house. I do not use the software that comes with it. I use the colorHCRF software (plus using the latest drivers for the Display LT). It performs very well, readings are pretty accurate. But you need to know how to use it for the specific application you are going to use the Display LT for. When I first tried it and used the disc it came with, it was frustrating at first. It will take some time getting used to it. But like I said before, I use another software to establish the things I need out of it. Price is actually darn goodCustomer Review: It looks good.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased one to calibrate multiple displays in my home. Calibrating computer monitors is very quick and easy with the included software. With just a few clicks the automated process begins. When it's finished, your display has bright, vibrant coloring. Very pleasing to the eye, but I have no method of checking accuracy other than "it just looks right".
It's construction seems a little on the cheap side, and they should have made the counterweight attachment stronger or included a storage compartment for it in the unit itself. I'm sure it will be lost the next time I need to use it.
