Display 3 PRO Calibration SALE - Ends June 30
June 9, 2012

Until the end of June we're discounting all Display 3 PRO calibration packages by an extra $70 off our already discounted price! Already own ChromaPure? Contact us for special meter only pricing, also $70 off.

When it comes to home theater calibration, the color analyzer is often the weakest link in measuring and adjusting a display device. Because of the unprecedented price/performance ratio of the Display 3, it is most certainly one of the most important products ever developed for display calibration in the last 10 years.

The Display 3 PRO takes the standard Display 3 meter one step further and offers substantially enhanced accuracy across 10+ display types with colour and white point accuracy that in most cases exceeds that of the EyeOne Pro spectroradiometer.

When someone needs to choose one single sub-$1000 meter for video calibration, the Display 3 PRO is the number one choice as it offers professional grade performance at a price affordable to the amateur hobbyist or enthusiast. No other single meter even comes close.

It is a phenomenally fast reading meter, perfect for performing completely automated calibration using ChromaPure Auto-Calibrate with a DVDO Duo or Lumagen Radiance video processor in record time. ChromaPure Auto-Calibrate allows anyone with little or no training to calibrate their display to professional standards. Just select a few options, click Auto-Calibrate, and then just go have a cup of coffee while the process completes. In less than 5 minutes your display will be full calibrated. Curious? Watch the Auto-Calibrate demo video to see how easy and fast it is.

For complete details on the Display 3 PRO meter see our Display 3 PRO order page.

Electrohome 9501 CRT video projector
May 28, 2012

See our CRT Primer to read why CRT projectors are still used in home theaters where picture quality is paramount. Our Projector Rankings page will show you how they stack up. Not sure what projector is right for you? Email Curt for help!

Here is a great condition high end 9" CRT video projector that is in 100% working shape.

The Electrohomes are the pinnacle of CRT video projectors, there are tens of thousands of units out there, they are reliable, and are designed to be on 24/7 in flight simulators and other military/commercial applications.

Technically, this set can run 2160p, twice of the current 1080p standard. Of course, the set will run 1080p with ease, and will blow away the digital projectors available on the consumer market. With the contrast ratio being in excess of 30,000:1, the blacks are perfect blacks, and with 1300 lumens, the room does not need to be completely dark to have a sharp punchy image.

A 135Khz scan rate means the set will lock to any resolution you can send it, and an optional HDMI card is available to feed the projector a digital signal, making the set obsolescence proof. The set comes with the manual that details the setup of the projector. The instructions are easy to follow, and the included auto convergence camera will let you tweak the set automatically with a push of the remote control.

Surf the web in style on a 10' screen, the projector also exhibits no lag time for you hardcore gamers. 110 and 220 volt compatible, and the set will display any aspect radio you want.

The projector has a new green tube installed! With an estimated 12,000+ hours left on the tubes, you'll be able to run long hours without the fear of expensive bulbs burning out. If the bidding exceeds $3200.00, I'll include the ceiling bracket. Two RGBHV inputs are included with this unit, the set has had some crucial video and power supply updates done, so this set is ready to go. I'll preset the unit for floor or ceiling mount and for your screen size, so the set should be very close as to the alignment you need once you install it.

Listed on eBay here (no reserve).
