the problem is two fold: first all TVs / monitors are relatively low margin because the market is highly competitive. They do calibrate the TVs (any manufacturer worth their salt anyway). And sorry, i wont spend 350$ to calibrate my TV ^^ no way Whether you’re calibrating an HDTV or a projector, the Spyder is a good value-oriented solution.ġ4324342 said:the question is: why arent the producers calibrate the TVs right out of the factory? why? is it so hard to make a preset for the TVs? 99% of the TVs that come out of a factory will have the same "crappy" default settings. In the next few pages, we’ll talk about the SpyderHD package, which includes a meter, test pattern disc, and other tools for $349. Of course, we know many enthusiasts chase that last 10 percent. It really can be that easy, and if you have a reasonably accurate display to start with, you’re 90 percent there. You might find it necessary to change them a click or two to achieve maximum dynamic range.
Most HDTVs don’t need much adjustment, if any, to either color or tint in their movie modes. If you don’t have a blue filter to look through, it’s best to skip this part.
