I have a Hitachi 57F500 rear projection that does up to 1080i. It has never been cabilbated other then me doing the basics with a Avia disc.


I would like to get into some software and equipment to make it look as good as possible. If I get a Spyder 2 along with the Color HCFC software will this do it for me.


Or would investing in something like Calman with the Eye-One pro be that much better to justify the extra money.


Any other suggestions would be great, I have also considered getting an ISF to do it, but that is hard to find in Wisconsin.

CalMAN with an Eye One Display LT would be a good option in between the two. The Spyder2 isn't as horrible with CRT RPTV's as it is with some other display types, so I would say it would be a possible choice if you need to keep the cost really low.

By the way, I do make it out to certain parts of Wisconsin...

Thanks for the thoughts. I am in North West Wisconsin, Rice Lake to be exact. I have no idea what it would even cost to get a professional calibration around here because it is hard to find one.


If I did buy something I would like it to work with LCD and Plasma as well just for future upgrades. Although so far all the LCD's and Plasmas I have looked at I still like picture of a rear projection for some reason.....

make sure you do a solid convergence cal before you start, and then don't move the set!
