Written By jasonnadler Date Written Mar 23 2006 Summary First, let me start by discussing the problems with Huey.

Strength Inexpensive, accurate enough to satisfy my discerning eye, and it adapts to ambient lighting, $79! Weakness Uber-thin cord, doesn't "sleep" when the monitor powers down, no no-skid bottom. Bottom Line For the price, it's impossible to say anything bad about it. It performs as advertised, and this makes up for all shortcomings. Huey- Funny Name but a Great Product
