True Colors Part 2Boost your HDTV's performance with this home theater colorimeter |
Page 2 of 2 Launch the software and put the test pattern DVD in your DVD player. The SpyderTV then measures contrast, brightness, color, tint and color temperature and prompts you to make the necessary adjustments to your displays settings. Follow the software wizards instructions and youll be quickly guided through the entire process. Ill admit that I was somewhat skeptical about the need for this calibration tool, but SpyderTV made a difference in the picture quality I was getting from my display. My original settings didnt seem off to me before, but after seeing the difference that the proper adjustment made, Im glad that I used it. After my display adjustment, there was an especially noticeable difference in the details of the shadows and highlights of the picture. Before and after images help you compare the difference that your adjustments made. At $229, the SpyderTV isnt cheap, but its worth the investment to get the best possible picture from your high-tech, high-def screen. You can always do what I did and convince a friend or two to split the cost with you. Contact: Datacolor, (800) 554-8688, www.spydertv.com.
