Pretty damn close, within their gamut limits. I managed to get my laptop to
look almost identical to my old CRT, much closer than my prints, but perhaps
the $1300 spectro had something to do with it.

How's the viewing angle on your LCD? Lesser colorimeters may have trouble
getting accurate readings if the LCD looks noticeably different, say, 30
degrees off axis. I don't know how good the Huey is in that regard, but I do
know that the Eye-One spectro is very forgiving in that regard.
