Question about in home AV DIY calibration.


Hope this question fits the topic section.

20+ years ago there was a homebrew DIY way of calibrating your av gears via a DVD called Video Essentials - I am sure most are familiar with it.

Is there a updated version in some flavor - be it an app etc... so one can calibrate video monitor ( tv, projector etc ) without having to invest in ISF consults or purchasing Spyder calibration tools?

Thanks.

Thx.

Is this still considered the 'standard' go-to option outside of ISF or actual hdw calibration devices?

Or is forking out the money for a spyder type calibration tool a better route?
I think it's a very good option. The one issue I have run into isn't the quality of the DVD/Blu Ray but some options on TV's are not normally available.

Let's face it, with most TV's you are making a judgement call no matter what.

You may want to search for your TV model and "calibration" to see what others have experienced.

Will do - not sure why I didn't think of checking the internet for calibration data for my tv :)
