    Front Projector Calibration Tools

    Hello All:

    What do you use for calibrating your front projector? I have read a lot about the SMART calibration tools used by the reviewers at http://www.hometheaterhifi.com and I like the ability to fine-tune the grayscale and gamma tracking. Has anyone used this for calibrating his projector? What about DVDs like Digital Video Essentials which is promoted by Stereophile Guide to HT?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

      I'd like to try the new digital video essentials to see if it workks better then avia for non CRT devices but if I do anything it will be to get my greyscale checked with a calibration unit from one of the local AV dealers. The issue with that though is that as the bulb ages that will effect the greyscale anyway so what I do today might not work tomorrow.

          Yup, I've found Digital Video Essentials to be better at calibrating my plasma in general than the old standard VE or Avia. More current information on the disc too. But there's unique stuff on all three of those discs, so I'm keeping all of my versions.

              Projector calibration and setup
              by RobP
              Does anyone know of any DVD's or computer programs available for calibration of a HT projector? I just recently purchased a projector and would like to get it calibrated correctly, I can get close by a visual but I am sure it could use some tweaking to get it closer. :T


              Thanks!!...

              stuck with automatic greyscale
              by Jurgen
              Hi Guys,

              A few weeks back I’ve read something on this forum about the automatic greyscale in the sanyo plv z2 and z1. Since I own the latter (and always on the lookout for image improvements), I’ve switched the setting to “on”. I sure do appreciate the difference:...

              Hi Guys,

              I've got JustMLS running through an M-Audio mobilepre USB and a calibrated ECM8000 microphone. I'm pretty sure it's wired up ok, because it seems to be working - Here's how it's wired up:
