Hi all,

I use Linux Ubuntu and I am looking at the different options to buy a
colorimeter to be used  with Argyll.

You might remember recently I reported a problem with a Spider 2 under
Linux. That hardware was borrowed from a friend, and after the experience I
am definetely not going to buy a Spider.

The other options I am considering now are the following:

- Pantone Eye One Display LT

- Pantone Huey

In both cases I understand there is no difference with the other more
expensive options since the hardware is the same. And I also understand that
they work using Argyll under Linux.

Is there much difference between these two colorimeters? Is it worth the
difference?

Any other option I might consider?

Which is the difference between a colorimeter (like Eye One or the Huey) and
a spectometer like the x-rite Colormunki Photo?

Thanks,
Jordi.
