Our guide takes a step backwards and makes the assumption that the reader has absolutely no knowledge of greyscale or colour calibration. Yes, many of these documents are very informative, but not everyone wants to earn a doctorate in colorimetry so that they can set their greyscale and colours properly. Some even provide links to highly technical documents as 'required reading'. Most guides also assume that the reader has a good understanding of terms like D65, stimulus, CIE, etc. The problem I found is that most assume that the reader already has the required equipment and knows exactly how to use it. Read on and learn why proper greyscale and colour calibration is regarded as one of (if not the) most important actions that should be performed on all TVs or projectors for optimal picture quality.Ĭountless number of calibration guides have been published prior to this one. In fact, you may not even know what 'greyscale calibration' is at all! That's fine! I'll explain why it's important along with exactly what tools are needed and how to use them. No prior knowledge or understanding of greyscale or colour calibration is required. It doesn't matter if it's a 20 year old analog model or the most recent digital projector or TV. It will show you how to obtain the most accurate colours possible on any display regardless of what sort of technology it uses (Plasma, LCD, DLP, SXRD, LCOS, CRT, etc.). This guide is for the home theater enthusiast who wants to get the absolute best picture out of any TV or projector. This guide is also available in Chinese: ä¸æ–‡ç‰ˆåœ¨æ¤ Is this guide for me?

Spread the word! Feel free to use this banner on another website or forum. This older 2008 guide will remain for historical reasons. It includes information on the finer controls offered by these newer display devices, especially in the areas of gamma and color calibration. See: CHROMAPURE GRAYSCALE & COLOR CALIBRATION FOR DUMMIESĪs of January 2014, an updated guide that focuses primarily on the calibration of newer display technologies such as digital projectors and flat panel TVs is also available.
