Do you know Best Buy recently started offering video calibration services
for TVs? Before that they tried telling you that your TV was all set
from the factory. We've been calibrating for over 10 years!
The same is true for audio. Do you think all rooms sound the
same? What speakers are best for your room? Where should I place
them for the best sound?
There are a lot of factors in achieving the best
performance in a room. Do you think experience matters? Let
the most qualified and experienced calibrators make your system
perform at its best!
Most TV's are not set to reference standards as they come from
the factory. They are usually set very bright to compete
against other TV's in showrooms . Although some can tweak
their system with a calibration disc, a video
calibration is an absolute must for the best performance. Having your
your display calibrated to reference standards as taught by the
Imaging Science Foundation will make it perform to its full
potential and last longer.
Calibration - What is involved...
Calibration will allow for correcting or optimizing the following
parameters:
Greyscale tracking *
White & Black Level *
Color temperature *
Chroma Level and Phase *
Geometry
Focus (Electrical & Mechanical)
Horizontal & Vertical Center
Overscan
Convergence (static & dynamic)
Aperture
Chroma detail enhancement, and
Scan Velocity Modulation Disconnection
For those who have had their set calibrated, the end result are
all the same: staggering. Blacks are black; whites are white; even
light distribution; realistic colors; and images are film like in
quality. Apparently, a lot of problems with out-of-the-box sets also
get corrected. Problems such as shimmering, ringing, weird color
fringes, jaggies, and hot spots are reported to disappear.
If you've spent thousands on your High Definition Television,
you'd probably want to spend a little more to make your set perform
at its best.
It is recommended that you let your TV have at least 100 hrs of
use before getting it calibrated so that its components have had
time to be broken-in
We only calibrate brands we are
familiar with. We do know other great calibrators which we
will recommend if we do not work on your particular brand.
