What Is TV Calibration?
What Is Calibration and Why Should I Do It?
Every make and model of plasma, Liquid Crystal, Rear Projection or even
basic cathode ray TV is very different. Different resolution,
components, brightness, colour, contrast and not to mention they all go
into a different room with varying ambient and dynamic light sources.
So every TV shows a different picture and even the same TVs will appear
different depending upon which room and where about in the room they
are placed.
Just because a television is 1080p or some other 'latest and greatest'
technology does not mean you get anything like the best from it just by
plugging it in.
So Calibration is quite simply the setting up of your TV to achieve the
most realistic image possible. So who is to say what is a great image
and what needs calibration? Quite simply the film maker, game designer
or program director made there program/movie/game with a very specific
brightness, contrast, colour and sharpness in mind.
