Display Calibration
Why is a calibration not done in the factory?
There are a number of reasons. One is that the cost of properly calibrating each individual screen at a manufacturing level is just not economically viable. Besides, the lighting conditions of the room affect the final outcome of what we see. This needs to be taken into consideration when calibrating a TV – so out-of-the-box perfection just isn’t possible.
Equally relevant is the extremely competitive TV market; manufacturers want to catch your attention in that brightly lit shop showroom. The infamous ‘store mode’ – unnaturally bright and colourful – used to be the out-of-the-box default for many TVs and is the biggest reason that TVs look different in the store… they’re all wrong!
How much run-in time does my TV/projector need?
Ideally, your TV/projector should be run-in before it’s calibrated as the colours do take time to settle and can shift if calibrated too soon.
For flat panel displays, simply choose a factory picture preset and run it in with 3-4 weeks of normal viewing (100-150hrs) and 20-30hrs for a projector.
Will my TV/projector need to be recalibrated?
It depends on how fussy you want to be. However, if you have invested in a quality home theatre system, then image quality must be important!
Colours will still continue to shift slowly over time with use, but nowhere near as much as in that initial break in period.
We recommend a recalibration calibration after 18-24 months for a TV and for projectors; around the projector lamps half life and again when the lamp is replaced. The lamp life can vary depending on the make and model so check the manufacturers specifications
What is the cost of making my display look beautiful?
Please get in contact for a free no-obligation quote. Pricing varies system-to-system and 3D calibrations may cost more due to the need to calibrate against the colour shift and loss of brightness of the 3D image.
