x-rite i1 Display pro + hcfr + spears and munsil 2-nd edition

2203 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  niko86

Hi!

 

I have bought an x-rite i1 Display pro colorimeter and the Spears and Munsil 2-nd edition bluray. I have also installed hcfr on my laptop.

I would like to calibrate my samsung d8000 LED tv...I am a novice to this kind of calibration and chould use some help with my setup.

I have found a guide at curtpalme, but there the author uses DVE instead of S&M. I bought S&M because it was never (2013) than DVE...But I thought that the 2 discs can do the same things...Or am I wrong? I have not been able to find the IRE patterns that are refered to in the article at curtpalme. Do you know where I can find them on S&M? Any help would be appreciated!

 

Looking forward to hear from you guys!

I have s&m version 2 and i think the disk is not using the IRE term (used only for analogic tv signal tv) it's using is % of white (used for digital tv signal)

For greyscale calibration, look under "Equal Energy Windows".
"These patterns are designed for measuring with a colorimeter, light meter, or spectroradiometer as part of a gray scale calibration by a trained calibrator. They are designed so the total amount of light being produced by the display is unchanged from pattern to pattern. As the level in the center changes, the concentric bands around the edge change to compensate, keeping the overall light output and power draw constant even on notoriously tricky displays like plasma panels."


For colour calibration, look under "Equal Energy Gamut".
"These patterns are designed for measuring with a colorimeter or spectroradiometer as part of a color gamut calibration by a trained calibrator. They are designed so the total amount of light being produced by the display in all color channels is unchanged from pattern to pattern. As the level in the center changes, the concentric bands around the edge change to compensate, keeping the overall light output and power draw constant for each color channel even on notoriously tricky displays like plasma panels."

Hi guys!

 

Thank you for your replies! I will try that!

Do you also use hcfr to calibrate or some other software?

And I have a simple (possibly silly) question...Should the color temperature be around 6500 K only if we are looking at a white screen? I mean not if the screen is showing e.g. a green pattern?
