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 rclxub.gif

Kiding,

U r seeing clipping in the high IREs. Its typical if u r running contrast too high. Pls try reducing contrast until the gamma at the 90% stops clipping.

Pls send me the HCFR files and I will take a look as well.

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

Below is the HCFR files, please have a look.

Will spend some time later to review the data.

There are various gamma options on the Optoma. I believe Cinema was almost 2.5 and PC was close to 2.2 the last time I calibrated one. Reducing contrast shd elimnate the clipping.

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 sweat.gif Luminance chart also get improved, only the RGB has slightly higher delta value. take another one and half hours to calibrate yawn.gif Will further calibrate the RGB next time when free.

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

Looks much better now. U might be able to push up contrast 1 notch though.

Do post ur HCFR files as well.

Did u do the gamut? While it does not have a CMS, u still need to set colour and tint correctly. This will effect gresycale sometimes if u hv to make big changes. Let me know if u need assistance.

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 laugh.gif and then need to run the REW too sweat.gif probably will do it when have more free time.

I recently completed the THX Video Calibration Certification. Will write more of the experience in the days to come.

That package is ok. Only issue is for projector use, it's not easy to mount the i1 meter - no problem if you use the meter for TV. Need to get some kind of tripod mounted clamp.

I use masking tape to mount i1display to Manfrotto tripod head, easy and simple laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
