Guide: GREYSCALE CALIBRATION FOR DUMMIES
May 23, 2008 Tools you'll need: It's finally done! 250 hours, 22,000 words and nearly 100 photos have gone into the most extensive guide yet aimed at giving perfect colours to any display! This guide is for any home theater enthusiast who wants to get the absolute best picture out of their TV or projector. It will show you how to set perfect colours on any TV or projector regardless of the technology used (CRT, LCD, DLP, SXRD, LCoS, etc). No prior knowledge or understanding of colour calibration is required. Even if you have absolutely no understanding of what CIE, D65, or colorimetry means, you'll be able to calibrate your display correctly. In fact, you may not even know what "greyscale calibration" is at all! That's fine! Unlike most of the other confusing guides out there, we'll tell you exactly what tools you need, where to get them, and walk you through using them from start to finish. Read on and learn how and why proper greyscale calibration is regarded as one of (if not the) most important calibrations anyone should perform on their TV or projector for optimal picture quality. Testimonials "I could not believe how far out my settings were. I've used calibration discs before and THOUGHT I was close, NOT! ...after going through the process outlined by Kal it is immensely better and I must say, the image is so much more realistic it's not even funny." - ExCavTanker "... an incredible piece of technical writing." - Greg K. "Kudos to you Kal for taking this on and putting all the hard work into it. I've been around computers, cameras, printers and color calibration for years in the graphic arts field, but for some reason I wasn't too excited to climb the learning curve all alone - now I don't have to!!! Thanks to you!" - Steve C. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This is THE defacto article for setting greyscale for those of us that are not afraid to venture into the service menu but never knew exactly how all the pieces went together (hardware, software and the process). I used to say there are two great things from Canada; hockey and beer, and now I have to add this guide to the list. I'm getting excited about correcting my greyscale along with the satisfaction of doing it myself!!!!!" - Derek G. "You have managed to bring greyscale calibration to the masses... Thank you very much... I came across your guide a week ago and immediately ordered an eye-one. I downloaded the ColorHCFR software and loaded it onto my laptop, got out the tri-pod and the DVE disc and within about an hour had my Z4 calibrated and learnt a lot about my set-up in the process. Your guide is targeted precisely at folks like me and I'm very glad you took that approach of assuming the reader doesn't know the important of greyscale calibration nor any of the 'jargon' used when talking about it. I can't express my appreciation enough!" - Monomer "Thank you very much for this guide. I just got done calibrating my grayscale with my i1 Display LT. My HC3000 DLP projector looks amazing ... amazing how well it worked. I enjoyed calibrating the display much more than I would have enjoyed hiring someone to do it for me." - Jedirun "What a great job you did with this guide. It is so rare to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about who is also willing to share their information. Especially with so much detail. I appreciate all of the time and effort that you spent in putting this together. After having only read through the first section I was 100% sure that the information you were giving was accurate and well put together. As a fellow AV professional it is refreshing to know that there really are others out there who care enough about the industry to share what they know for the betterment of the business." - Bill Allen
