ok I've been looking around for a while for some decent calibration software as I wasn't too sure how accurate Eye-One Match3 is (the software that came with my i1Display2 probe) and I could not find a single place to trial out Lacie Blue Eye Pro so was glad to see Integrated Color had released a Windows version of ColorEyes 
After calibration with this software (it's compatible with the most popular probes out) I ran the quick visual tests at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ (when saturation and black level) and could see the first box in the black test without having to squint and was able to see the 2nd to last grid in the white saturation test without much effort too whereas before a slight squint was needed to see them.
The software expects your input in advanced mode and I found the colour pre-calibration to be more precise than Match3. It also has a more in depth validator and uses standard dE99 compared to dE2000 like Match3 (though I'm still not entirely sure on the differences between the 2 other than one was brought out as a newer "thing" but review sites always use dE99)
Screens:

The settings I used to calibrate
And the validator that autoruns after calibration
I'll be keeping it installed for the 10day trial to see how it fairs out, and may well end up buying it though it's not cheap at $175 (£93) but I do like the interface and it does explain each option better than Match3 and the visual results do appear better than Match 3.
If anyone else has a probe then try out the trial and let us know if your results are similar !
