And sorry, i wont spend 350$ to calibrate my TV ^^ no way

Whether you’re calibrating an HDTV or a projector, the Spyder is a good value-oriented solution.ġ4324342 said:the question is: why arent the producers calibrate the TVs right out of the factory? why? is it so hard to make a preset for the TVs? 99% of the TVs that come out of a factory will have the same "crappy" default settings. In the next few pages, we’ll talk about the SpyderHD package, which includes a meter, test pattern disc, and other tools for $349. Of course, we know many enthusiasts chase that last 10 percent. It really can be that easy, and if you have a reasonably accurate display to start with, you’re 90 percent there. You might find it necessary to change them a click or two to achieve maximum dynamic range. Use them sparingly.Īfter completing the steps, go back and readjust brightness and contrast again. You may not achieve perfection remember that these controls adjust all six colors simultaneously, even when only one or two might be off. If you see something in the blue square, adjust tint until it’s a solid blue. If you see something in the black square, raise or lower the color control until it disappears. If you see a solid black square and a solid blue square, awesome! You’re done.

If you have the filter, look through it at the above pattern. Most HDTVs don’t need much adjustment, if any, to either color or tint in their movie modes. With this product, the end results seem incorrect and that's before considering the fiasco of a filter that doesn't work with mainstream displays.If you don’t have a blue filter to look through, it’s best to skip this part. Most of us though should be able to get an outstanding picture without one. If you must go down the calibration route, I recommend getting a professional to do it. Spears & Munsil claim that it is your display that doesn't work with their product but a Panasonic Plasma is a mainstream product it strikes me as odd that it would not work with it. This means that the colour and tint will always be wrong. all black) yet no matter what you do, black bars are always prevalent. What you should see are no bars on the left-hand side of the colour test (i.e. Worst of all, the blue filter specs that come with the disc do not work at all. To begin with, you need to spend a significant amount of time figuring out what exactly to do and the results are strange to say the least (Sharpness = 79?). There were however a few moments on certain blu-ray discs on my settings where the colour looked incorrect (eg murky skin-tones, inappropriate olive tints at times) and I felt a calibration would remedy this.

I foolishly bought it to try and "improve" what was already a very fine picture on my Panasonic Plasma that I obtained myself using the Cinema mode as a template.
