i have a unit of Spyder 3 pro and recently i manage to get a copy of the spyder 3 TV to calibrate my LCD. After calibration, the picture has improved but i find that the software is very simple and hardly even touched other setting such as Tint. Will the Calman be an improvement if compares to the Spyder 3 TV?

after calibration, i realized that different source has a different video quality. after calibrating the DVD player, do i have to calibrate another setting for my media player as well? When i ran the color chart for the media player, the setting is very different from my DVD player.....

The softwares provided with the Spyder TV is limited. Calman will allow more options. However, it is not automatic. U would need to to each portion while reading what comes out of ur meter. Greyscale, cms can all be done with calman.

Each source does have different outputs. However, the white point for both SD and HD is the same. What media player was that?

i am currently using the DVico 4100 media player and a pioneer DVD player...as for my LCD, its an old Samsung model...Samsung LA37S81BX/SHI 37" LCD TV....there is not much adjustment that can be done on the TV and after adjusting the brightness n contrast, the Black Level is nicer but i lose out a lot of detail on darker images. when i get the detail, the black looks more like grey than black....its kind of frustrating.....

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?
