where can i source the xrite i1 locally especially in penang?

there's a few company listed in xrite in klang valley only

is it a warm color temperature is the correct than natural?i dont understand my most of calibrated hdtv use that setting,it look yellowish to me

sorry for noob question......

Something for diy/home use, i2 display lite i suppose, and also colour checker passport, my passion are movie, gaming wit a bit of photoshop

The $49 offer for the colorimeter u mentioned in the thread earlier is it still ongoing? How limited is hcfr compared wit calman in ur experience

Just bought the X-rite i1Display LT from amazon, then spend four hours to learn how to use colorHCFR for my Optoma HD20 projector

Below is the result


I'm quite satisfy with the RGB and Color Temperature calibrated result, but the gamma is not that good, I tried few ways to make it flat such as changing the gamma curve and offset, make a few tries and I still unable to get it flat at above 70% grey, I wonder how to adjust the HD20 parameters to get it right 

Okay, thanks for the suggestion, I will try to correct tonight.

Below is the HCFR files, please have a look.

[attachmentid=2203301]

After lower my contrast and change the gamma curve type to 1, the gamma chart is better now, but at above 70% grey, the value is now shoot up  Luminance chart also get improved, only the RGB has slightly higher delta value. take another one and half hours to calibrate  Will further calibrate the RGB next time when free.

Anyway, thanks for the advice. below charts are the result of second calibration

The HCFG file is attached as after2.zip, you may download it.

I didn't run the advanced color management, too tired to do it, my SVS sub will come in this weekend  and then need to run the REW too    probably will do it when have more free time.

Where to get the wizard?

@anfieldude
is it necessary to calibrate for every av input?

Do you calibrate seperately for sd/hd source

@anfieldude,

Hi,
After following your many posts on various threads on this forum (many thanks for all the info & experience), i've decided i''ll need to invest on Calman.

I have some question from which you might know the answer to.

- Does i1Display2 support projectors?
- Which pattern disc should i go for? DVE HD or Spears & Munsil? (i have the DVD version of DVE)
- How big of a difference are there between different Colorimeter? (ie, i1Display2 to X2 to DTP-94 to ...)  <- i know this would be a bit difficult to answer as i myself don't know how/what i'll be using it yet.

For sure i'll be using it for PC (currently borrows Spyder3 Elite to calibrate) and for a flat panel (have not bought one but eyeing for 50VT20 or possibly 50VT30) but also looking into the possibility of using projection.

Thanks in advance for any questions answered. I truly will appreciate your knowledge and experience.

I also gathering you perform on-site calibration too. (PM me for details?)

Cheers!
WH.

Congrats! Can I book your time once my projector is in?

Wow bro. I didn't know you are so extreme into video calibration. Anyway, congrats on the certification. I think kind of hard to get anyone certified in THX Video Calibration in Penang. I previously met a self proclaim THX certified calibrator but when I see him setting up the video projector, I really doubt he know how to set even the basic contrast and brightness setting as he just eye ball it using movie material. Not even a simple test pattern to set the correct video level  .

Anyway, hope you can share with us some tips for self learn calibrator. The calibration that I always struggle is CMS. Need lots of iteration between CMS and greyscale to nail it perfectly.

When you coming??

Haven't been following the forums lately. Congrats bro! ISF next?

guys....need some input from you regarding calibration for new TV

i plan to get the new Panasonic TH-P50U30k but from the shop, the black is very grey and compares to LED, it loses to LED in reproduction of dark image....is this due to the calibration?....i have alwaz thought Plasma has much better black than LCD or even LED? Has the technology of LED surpass Plasma for contrast ratio?

i have the Spyder 3 TV for calibration...if i get the Panasonic, will this be enough to calibrate the monitor?

bro ....thanks for the feedback....i will probably go for the P50VT20K...its looks much better in comparison to the U series....

Since i have the Spyder 3TV, mayb i should try to use Calman with the Spyder 3...

I find that there is a problem with my Spyder 3 unit....after calibration, the image is very red and when i used it on my computer using Spyder 3 Pro software...the image is also a bit red ....is this due to the Spyder 3 unit?

if the spyder is not accurate, would it be better to just leave the VT20 to default value?...how is the performance of the default setting for this TV?

for the Spyder 3, i have actually bought it from Davis previously....is there any firmware update that could help solve the problem?
