Is the following equipment acceptable for the calibration of a DLP TV? Sencore and Accupel, and what exactly do these devices accomplish?

 

[CJO]

Those are manufacturers who do make equipment used for calibration. What specific models are you referring to?

Sorry, I don't know any of the model numbers. I'm looking to have my TV professionally calibrated and I see from some of the various ISF calibrators that they use this equipment. Just curious as to what they do...

Remember the tools are only 1/2 the job. The knowledge on how to use them properly is an entirely different story! Anyone can pick up a hammer & nails. Look into more of the well-known calibrators when making your selection ie Gregg Loewen, Michael Chen, Chuck Williams to name a few. Browse this forum & you will see the well-experienced calibrators names turn up thousands of times.


Just my 2 cents.

Accupel makes a test signal generator. Sencore makes software for the Display2 color analyzer that they have OEM'd from GretagMacbeth.

Thanks for the responses. Just curious...

Sencore makes color analyzer hardware (such as the CP5000), which is seemingly high-end stuff because the MSRP is around $5000.


Tom, I think you've confused Sencore with Pantone - Pantone is the partner with GretagMacbeth in marketing the Eye One Display...

Accupel is the SD/HD signal generator.


Sencore ... (generically speaking) would be the color analyzer part.


Effectiveness of the color analyzer depends on display technology. Good on some ... just adequate on others.

I don't think so. The specs for both sensors are virtually identical.


It's quite common for speciality companies to OEM hardware from other manufacturers, re badge it, and then charge a much higher price.


Sencore used to use the Sequel Imaging probe and the Display2 is a much improved version of this.
