Users can specify any target colorimetric settings, such as Whitepoint, Gamma, Brightness and Blackpoint, and the LaCie blue eye pro software automatically calibrates the monitor — creating and activating an ICC profile that ensures consistent color reproduction throughout the workflow.
Additionally, it saves to the profile the specific hardware settings that correspond to a given calibration, allowing the user to switch from one colorimetric environment to another without needing to recalibrate.
When optionally using Mediawedge colors to perform these tests, the monitor color accuracy is evaluated against a set of standard criteria for Whitepoint and Gray Balance precision, profile quality and suitability for usage in a variety of color processes. In addition to these features, the LaCie blue eye pro Proof Edition also comprises a full set of complementary color management tools such as Whitepoint fine-tuning, Blackpoint adjustment and Ambient Light analysis.

On the right we are given readings for gamma 1. This is a limited test and report feature, and for frequent readers of our reviews, you will probably notice it is lacking any further reporting of colour accuracy or black depth. There is also no option to save the calibration report as you get from the Pro package. In comparison, the test and report feature from the Pro package was far more advanced.
I ran this straight afterwards to check that the Blue Eye 2 results were at least quite accurate. Gamma was recorded at the same value of 1. The main difference in the results we could see from both packages was that the triangle representing the monitors colour gamut was now very closely matching the sRGB colour space, and this was much more like we were expecting to see.
The results seen in the Blue Eye 2 package were not correct, be wary of this. In addition to these results we also have colour accuracy validation on the right hand side in the form of DeltaE measurements across various colour shades.
I won't go into that now as you can read more about this feature in ourBlue Eye Pro review, but the Blue Eye 2 package did not offer this reporting feature. There are 5 steps to the calibration process, which are easy to understand and navigate:. Step 1 involves chosing the target settings for your screen as we discussed before. Step 2 asks you to set your monitors 'brightness' setting using the OSD menu and by following the guidance shown in the image above.
The slider bar shows you when you reach an optimum setting from the monitor itself. Step 3 asks you to do similar with the contrast setting from your monitor.
Step 4 asks you to adjust your monitors RGB levels to get the optimum settings from the monitor itself. Again, further adjustments are then carried out later on at the graphics card LUT level. Step 5 is an automated process which takes about 90 seconds to complete.
A series of greys and colours are flashed in front of the device, and adjustments to your graphics card LUT are made, and an ICC profile is created. At the end, you are presented with an option to name and save the profile, which is then activated.
After calibration was completed, and the ICC profile had been saved and activated, I proceeded to run the Blue Eye 2 test and report feature again. This produced the above results. Again, the gamut triangle for the monitor is incorrect, not stretching far enough to cover the sRGB space. This must be a flaw in the software reporting function I think bear in mind I'm using v2.
Gamma was corrected nicely to 2. The calibration seems to have been a success. Let's test it with the Blue Eye Pro package as well. As you can see, the results from the Pro package were in concurrence with the Blue Eye 2 report. Again, the monitors gamut is more accurately reflected here, and the graph on the right also shows the dE measurements which are not offered in the Blue Eye 2 package. The Blue Eye 2 package is basically just a trimmed down version of the Pro package.
The software is easy to use and follow, and it features the same hardware colorimeter tool - an X-Rite Eye One Display 2.
It is capable of a good level of calibration, being on par with the Blue Eye Pro in this regard. Presumably the process is the same in both packages anyway, but where the Pro differs from the Blue Eye 2 software is in the depth and complexity of the reporting. The Blue Eye 2 only offers very basic reporting of gamma, white point and luminance, and does not offer dE analysis or the ability to save the calibration report in more detail.
The CIE diagram representing the monitors gamut was also incorrect sadly, and there was also no function to measure black depth and therefore contrast ratio. The advanced test and report features of the Pro package are invaluable to our reviews, but if you just want reliable calibration results, and don't have the need to verify or compare them, then the Blue Eye 2 package could well be worth a look, saving yourself a fair bit of money too.
