...and things look really "off".

I know a lot of people say this. but it really does. I've done it a few times to be sure, though. the colours themselves seem better, but the whitebalance (colour temperature) looks better to me at D75 than at D65. The monitor itself is set to 6500K, so I don't think that's the problem. I've also disabled all other calibration software (Adobe Gamma).

Has anyone else experienced this "issue" with D65 vs. D75?

I use D65 myself, and it looks good. If you are coming from 9300K it will look a bit yellow at first though.
Wild Guess: Don't know the Huey personally, so I don't know, but maybe setting 6500K on monitor *and* software somehow messes things up?

I have an Apple Cinema series display thats been calibrated with the standard huey and now the hueyPro and have been nothing but pleased with the results at D65 + Gamma 2.2.

Make sure your graphic card driver color management is set to default

Before calibrating was the display set to factory defaults?

if you are used to looking at images on an uncalibrated monitor the screen can look funny..... Have you tried printing anything? How closely do your prints match the screen? I appreciate that your printer may not be calibrated but I find my calibrated screen pretty close to my prints.

Thanks for the replies...

Yes, I set the monitors to default settings first. Then deleted the "profile" for colour management by right-clicking the desktop-->settings tab-->advanced..

I haven't tried printing anything yet. I don't have my own printer,so I'd have to send out for it to be done.

I just looks a little dark, and warm. Like, all the "grey" parts of windows in the OS, look like they're too dark...just below neutral grey. So I think I'll mess around with it a bit more, and then try printing something.

Of course, maybe my eyes are just shot. lol.
