When you see and hear the testing for the Emergency Broadcasting System on tv, how do you know those colors are really the right colors? Maybe your tv or monitor isn’t displaying them correctly. How do you test your monitor screen? You want the colors to be as true-to-life as possible, right? Why not run a series of tests to check your monitor?

You can check your colors, gradience and many other things with these free tests. This will allow you to truly get the most of the colors available to you, and make sure that you have the highest quality possible.

It’s simple to use, and will help you tweak your screen with ease. I’m sure you know of other utilities we can make use of, so I hope you’ll pass them along to us!

I spend quite a while getting my displays just so.

Then someone “adjusts” it, grrrhhh :(

When it was first released I bought Huey from the Pantone company.

I have three LCD monitors used by five computers; 3 on a Samsung 930B via KVM, 2 Samsung 711T on one box, and a Samsung 710 MP (has TV as well) on a Linux box.

I do lots of photo and video editing so it’s important to have the screens display images as identical as possible. The Huey does a remarkable job in providing that. And it’s a close to automatic as you can get.

Another good tool to use is JScreenfix. It allows you to fix stuck pixels and reduce burn-in.
