Good but...., 2008-08-13
I don't know what makes this version of product any different from the LITE version which is $70 less. I should return it and buy the LITE. The Eye-One calibrator worked well. I liked the process better than the SPYDER I used on my CRT. The software provided good instructions for use - which made up lack of install instructions. I ended up downloading most current files from website. The Display 2 is supposed to allow custom white point... didn't see that option. The options provided were more than adequate. Accuracy seems to be very good. For price of the LITE model I would rate it EXCELLENT... for extra cost for Display 2 model I would rate it as GOOD due to extra cost.
My Spyder was for CRT only... needed calibrator for LCD. Most reviews rate Eye-One better than Spyder. (at lease more consistently better) I would recommend this product - but buy the LITE version. I'm a graphic designer (19 yrs) and need my monitor to match SWOP standards in commercial printing. I set white point to 6k - hard to get LCD's much lower - they tend to be bright. Had to turn my Bright to 0.

Competively priced, easy to use, and best yet, it works!, 2008-05-27
I bought this after taking some photography classes and after attempting to print some of my images. One of the most difficult tasks of modern photographers is to get the print to accurately reflect what is seen on the monitor. If the monitor doesn't accurately reflect the working profile of the image, forget it! So I took the plunge, after living with a monitor that was close, but not quite right....I never was sure exactly how it wasn't quite right, or what to adjust, let alone the combination of the adjustments needed! There are just so many factors to tweak. This software, and the calibration device that sits on the screen did it all for me, all during the time it took for me to make a cup of coffee.

 Love it.., 2008-05-22
I was having problems getting photo prints with the colors matching what I had on the screen. I just upgraded my system using a new HPw2408h display and an Epson R2400 printer. The software for the Eye-one is easy to setup. To calibrate place the hockey puck gizmo on the screen, click the calibrate button and watch the Eye-one run thru it automatic routine. On my HP display calibration didn't make a dramatic difference, but for photos enough the make it worthwhile. I'm now getting prints that closely match what I see on the screen.

 Great hardware, but lackluster software and documentation, 2008-05-19
Most of the other reviews here are accurate. This is a solidly-built piece that ultimately gets the job done, but the instructions are non-existent until you finally figure out which of the 4 programs they give you is the "main" program (you have to sift through a messy install CD with way too many folders and icons... it's not evident what's what)... and even then, the instructions and information are weirdly stilted. And the software itself (for Mac) is severely antiquated. It definitely looks like it was in it's prime around OS 8.6, and then (barely) updated for the first round of OS X. And, more importantly, it hung up a few times during the process. And one of the programs, that's supposed to "check" your monitor's health didn't work at all.
Does it get the job done? I think so. The easy mode is darn easy, and the advanced mode, while more time consuming, is definitely better. My monitor is definitely looking a lot sexier, and I'm pretty much glad I got this device over the competition. However, the manufacturer is definitely resting on their laurels, coping a "ain't broke, won't fix it" attitude w/ the software and documentation. When a bit of a spitshine would garner a 5-star review from everyone.

 DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AMAZON, 2008-05-03
I ordered the EODIS2 display from amazon and like the other reviewer received the EyeOne Display 2 LT version (EODLT). In addition to being the wrong item it was clear that the package had already been opened. I assume from a previous return. The previous reviewer has the same problem on 2/26/08 and as of 5/2/08 it has not been corrected. Do yourself a favor and purchase it from a more reliable vendor. I have included a photo of the box showing the inventory tag clearly as a EODIS2 product over the Eye-One Display LT package.
