Summary: Doesn't work on macbook
Comment: I tried to use it on my macbook and i kept getting washed out colors. I called xrite and they said that you have to upgrade the software for another $99.
I was amazed with amazon's streamlined return process. 2 thumbs up!
I will try later the xrite pro .

Summary: Good device, instructions cold be better
Comment: The CD installed 3 software executables without any desktop shortcuts. The sparse documentation gave no hint of which of the 3 modules to start with. I ran "Eye-One Diagnostics" and it could detect the device. Vista complained that the driver was not digitally signed. I finally hunted around on the xrite web site to find and download the correct driver, and then I had to hunt through the Vista hardware device list to find the Eye-One and install the driver files.

Summary: when you get a hang of it, its wonderful!
Comment: The instructions suck. The installation is non-intuitive. After I bought it and installed the bundled software, apparently there are 2 year old updates that need to be downloaded. That immediately wastes about 15 minutes of your time. You'd think they'd update the CD in the package after 2 years. Operation is non-intuitive too. You need to watch the video tutorials to fully understand what needs to be done. Its a lot easier to use this thing on a stand alone monitor than a laptop monitor.
I still don't get what the I1Diagnostic software does. I guess I gotta thumb through the CD again :(
After all the hardships of pulling it out of the box and struggling with the installation and calibration (such is the case for laptops) due to poorly written "quick set up guide", my laptop monitor now produces beautiful and brilliant colors, fine detail and great contrast.
Recommended if you are technically inclined.

Summary: X-Rite Eye-One Good Value
Comment: The X-Rite Eye-One works well for calibrating displays and is much less than competing options. It is not a "one click" deal - you have to setup the screen properly to get a calibration, but it is workable. This unit calibrates monitors only, you have to buy more stuff if you want to calibrate printers, scanners, etc.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good results, once you figure out how to use it
Comment: I give this three stars because it does work well, but the "out of the box" experience is poor and it takes a fair amount of work plus trial-and-error to figure out how to use it properly.
The Eye-One display LT can be used to calibrate CRT and LCD monitors. Inside the box there is the calibration "dongle" (looks a bit like a mouse), counterweight (clips onto the USB cord), ambient light cover, CD with software, and a brief, multi-lingual "getting started" guide.
The getting started guide is pretty much useless because it has errors and doesn't provide enough detail: it tells you to connect the dongle and then install the software, for example. Clesrly, this has led enough astray that the manufacturers have added a luminous pink sticker on the internal packaging saying "Install software before connecting!" Missing is a key piece of information: which of the six programs on the CD to install -- and it isn't obvious (you actually want Eye-One Match -- the "calibration" program doesn't do what you'd think)
I highly recommend watching the training video on the CD as it gives you a much better set of instructions and it's far clearer what to do. The software does actually work quite well, but you have to know what you're doing -- you won't be able to figure it out completely unless you've seen the video.
Getting the dongle to lie flat on my LCD screen was a real challenge, because the thick plastic coated USB cord won't bend around the sharp top edge of my screen; it tends to lift it off. In the end I used the counterweight (supplied) to hang the cord down flat. And thus, after two false starts, on my third calibration attempt I got a good result.
So, now that I am fully trained, the device works as advertised and I have a properly calibrated monitor. Prior to calibration, the screen was over-bright with highlights blown out and with way too much contrast. Now it matches color-managed prints I've made.
