Hey,
there's very few thorough(!) comparisons of colorimeters, the only one I
know has been done by a German magazine called "Mac Life" in 2008.[1]
The clear winner is the DTP94, you won't get a better device for this
price, it's still available from OEM manufacturers.[2]
I got one myself, it works very well on Ubuntu Linux, both 10.04 and 11.04.

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.
