I have found several threads on this but none that tell me in plain english if this will calibrate plasma displays in CRT mode to a reasonable levels. I found lots of metrics but was unable to translate what that meant in terms of viewing experience. When I contacted x-rite asking them if I should use the CRT setting for Plasmas I was told "The i1DisplayLT doesn't support Plasma Displays."


Whats the deal with the X-Rite i1Display 2 that i just bought.. Will it assist me in calibrating my Samsung PN50C8000?

yes, just use colorhcfr, calman, or chromapure with plasma mode selected


x-rite was only referring to the eye-one match software that generates PC profiles (ICC)

Thanks for your reply and I apologize in advance for any duplicate post on this.


Which software do you recommend for a intermediate user? I like the idea of the eye-one match software where it just shows a pattern and allows you to make the adjustments. The others do that as well?

Sounds like you need to do some reading. This link will get you started.

Sounds like you were right, thanks so much.


I am working at achieve D65 adjusting RGB low and and high end right now. I was able to get a base contrast and brightness setting. The the HCFR software is pretty easy to use. Thanks for the link; its very easy to follow and learn from..


Thanks once again!

Ok so I ran through the Calibrations with my X-Rite Display and Somthing is not right.


The picture seems washed with a green hue.. Here are the settings:


Stanard

Cell Light 12

Contrast 66

Brightness 60


R-Offset 34

G-Offset 38

B-Offset 36


R-Gain 27

G-Gain 19

B-Gain 0


In order to get 100% of all colors at 80 IRE i had to dial down blue all the way in the white balance settings.


I managed to get close to D65 except at 0 and 10 IRE where i was more like 8000 and 7000 K respectivley.


I did make one mistake of messing with Green and not sticking to just blue and red for the calibration. I eventually figured out why the document said to do only two colors

Is there somthing wrong with the meter? Is that possilbe can they be "miss-calibrated"

Try again and use movie mode/warm2 leaving the green offset and gain at the defaults.

Ok ill try that again..


Here are the CIE diagrams for before and after

the snapshots dont help as much if you give the measures numbers themselves. it does look better but you should also take a read of your primary and secondary colors as well
