Up until now I've been faithful to my 2007WFP colour reproduction but I now need all monitors in the house to display colours accurately as I'm RDPing to and from each machine respectively.

I've looked at Pantone Huey on eBay and also the Colorvision Spyder2 Express, both are from US based sellers and after conversion the Huey is £45 inc postage and the Spyder2 a little bit more.
Edit* I've actually found them on Google Products in the £50 region!

I'm just wondering does anyone have any experience with the Pantone Huey ? which one to go for is a bit of a choice here!

Going by the info in those reviews I'm going to buy the SPyder2 Express since the hardware itself is the same as the Pro unit and has the ability to use the pro version of the software by upgrading if needed down the line.

Awesome!
 
is the spyder3 much more expensive? would be interesting to know! I don't need fancypants features, just need a colour profile that's accurate lol :p

I notice in your review you used the 2405FPW which is a VA based panel, I am assuming the IPS 2007WFP should gather better results after calibration than observed by the 2405 ?

I went for the Spyder in the end as I can get the pro software later down the line if needs be and I'm most familiar with Spyder too! the shop I saw it for £52 appears to be out of stock though so am waiting until it's listed again!
