Hi all,
I'm probably getting in way over my head here, but, I'm wondering if there any low cost colorimeters/calibrators for helping out in making "white balance" (two point grayscale?) adjustments? Mainly red, green, and blue offsets and gains. I'd be using it with a Samsung LN46D550 CCFL backlit LCD TV mostly, but I have some other LCD displays I'd love to try it on too.
I'd say I feel reasonably comfortable eye balling most basic display settings with the help of test patterns and images, but, if an inexpensive colorimeter can help out a bit with white balance and lend an extra hand with the rest I'm willing to consider one. I'd like to stay under two hundred bucks.
Is compatibility with "wide gamut" displays a factor I should be concerned about with older meters? I was looking at offerings from X-Rite/Pantone/Colormunki and Spyder mostly.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
