what is this for, are you saying that my monitor can be calibrated better?

Yes, I use this and it is very helpful to calibrate my monitor. This is a must for some one who is really into photography as this will avoid most of those color inaccuracies that u experience during printing. Basically, u can calibrate the monitor to show colors and luminositiy quite accurately with this one.

I agree #4, does it vibrate?

Bought one of these a while back and it's a S doesn't correctly calibrate (makes things look orange despite any attempt at changing settings). Can't calibrate multiple monitors. Software's controls are too basic for anyone who actually needs their monitor calibrated.

#6, contact Pantone there were a batch of bad ones that were released... They will send you a replacement. They did me an there is a software patch that makes this a Pro supporting multimonitors.

I have this too. To expand on #3, you hang the device via suction cup against the front of your screen, and its software flashes different colors for the device to see. The software knows its putting out Pantone red, the device sees purple from your screen, and the software then corrects the colors sent by your vid card so the screen displays what was intended. Once calibrated, you can put the device in a stand to sit by your monitor, so that as day passes to night, or you turn on/off your inside lights and the ambient light changes, the device can alter your monitor so that your eye sees the same color all the time. As an aside, I would recommend ambient monitoring only for those playing games / wishing to view their own pictures. For photographer types, turn off the ambient feature and try to maintain a constant ambient light (and, probably, buy a pricier unit). Recommended. However, ultimately you would use this with a printer calibrater -- the fancier ones print a test strip which you then feed into a supplied scanner so that it can decide if your printer actually printed Pantone Red (etc) and create an appropriate color correction file for your printer. Finally, for the third leg of the color correction trifecta, you would use a white/black/18% gray card when shooting pictures to permit calibration of your original picture the light/color at your photoshoot. You would then KNOW that THAT is an 18% gray spot in your photo, that your monitor is FOR SURE showing an 18% gray (and other colors) spot, and that your printer is actually printing 18% gray (and other colors).

I have this. Not really worth the $50 whatever I paid. It's just okay and would be a fair deal for like maybe $20 at the most.
