Home Theater Update - Calibration
Up

 

  I finally used the tools                                               December 09

    One of the things I always wanted to do is calibrate my projector. This holiday break I finally got the chance.

    For measuring I have an i-1 Display LT colorimeter feeding HCFR Colorimeter software V 2.1. I taped the meter to a tripod and placed it on the counter below the screen. My Laptop is an MPC T2500 running Windows 7.

With the meter located in the middle of the screen (approximately) I got a Y=~16 for a brightness of 4.678 ftL. Here are the initial graphs and tables from HFCR.
