Hi to you all.
First of all, sorry for my english, I am righting this from my not-english spoken country.
Then... Right now I have a Colormunki Display from year 2014 which I suspect it's not very accurate, and trying to learn how to use HCFR, which have a super steep learning curve (at least for me), so I want to upgrade to a easier way to get better results with my actual and future TVs. I don't have HDR capable hardware, but probably in a future I will, so hopefully if I am expending around USD$600 in metering hardware (i still don't know how I will explain this to my wife) it would be great to have the possibility to calibrate HDR capable displays in the future.
After these considerations, would you recommend going with:
a) Calman CalMAN Home Enthusiast with SpectraCal C6 (USD$499)
Spectracal C6 only works with CalMAN software, so no possibility to use the C& with HCFR, dispCAL or any other software.
b) Chromapure Standard with Display 3 PRO Colorimeter (USD$617)
The colorimeter is a standard i1 Display Pro RevB corrected with a spectroradiometer, that offers (according to the store) "substantially enhanced accuracy across a wide range of displays" and "can approach the accuracy of a $17,000 2nm spectroradiometer."
c) X-Rite i1Display Pro (USD$200) and use Chromapure Standard (USD$200) or CalMAN Home Enthusiast (USD$399)
or just...
d) Snap out of it, and buy an X-Rite i1Display Pro and learn how to use HCFR already.
For sake of information, I now own a fhd lg oled TV which is connected to my HTPC and from there I use it to play games, see movies, netflix, youtube, etc. I use madVR with 3DLUT tables, but i want to replicate the calibration to pc gaming, my ps4 and why not my smart tv software.
Hope you can help me make my mind by throwing your own experiences and opinions.
PD: Yes, I've read these forum and others, and sometimes the pros and cons of each software/meter go way too technical for me.
