What is HDTV calibration?

Up to this point, you can largely do all of this yourself. The next step, though, you really can't.

Adjusting a TV's color temperature correctly isn't something you can really do with your eye. Sure, you can think you picked the correct temperature just by looking at it, but as I explain in my article on color temperature , it's nearly impossible to do correctly.

Instead, the calibrator uses a measurement device (like the Photo Research or Minolta models in the top picture) to measure the color temperature of the display.

The goal is to get this as close as possible to the D6500 standard used throughout the film and TV world. This ensures that your TV looks as close as possible to what the director of the movie or TV show intended.

Some TVs also allow the adjustment of the actual color points, meaning a calibrator can make all colors more realistic. This, in my opinion, is worth the cost. I love accurate colors and wouldn't own a TV that didn't have accurate color. Not all calibrators can adjust color points accurately, as it depends on the measurement equipment used and your TV's available controls. If this interests you, it's worth asking about beforehand.

The Benefits
A correctly calibrated TV will likely look more pleasing to the eye, and may--depending on its light output afterward--draw less power and even last longer. Calibration can result in a dimmer picture than the default settings, and if the TV is producing less light, it uses less power and can enjoy a longer lifespan longer thanks to reduced strain on the light-generating parts of the TV. (On the other hand some calibrations, especially of newer plasmas, actually have to brighten the image from default, negating this benefit). A correctly calibrated TV, in my experience, also ends up being a more pleasing image for most consumers. The image looks more "natural."

Certain companies have a relationship with the ISF, and have specific calibratable picture modes. The most useful of these are ISF-Day and ISF-Night modes. This allows different settings depending on the amount of light expected in the room, making sure the TV looks its best regardless of the time of day.

Do you want it?
In many cases, if someone isn't familiar with what a calibrated TV looks like, they're probably not going to like it...at first. A correctly calibrated TV will appear, to the uninitiated, as reddish and soft.
