There has been many a discussion going on in the forum regarding accuracy of Color and after quite a few posts have realized that TV calibration is not done by most of the people buying big expensive displays. Though there are quite a few threads regarding the room correction of audio/subwoofers and correcting the same but I haven't really found an go to thread for calibration of displays and think some knowledgeable people may share knowledge about the whys?, hows? and the required resources for the same.
With the advent of newer TVs and projectors which are generally display good color accuracy out of the box however there is still room for improvement. I hope by means of this thread a lot of members may benefit by increasing their knowledge as well as some of us may be inspired enough for undertaking the task. Maybe there are some professional who would be doing it for a fee (I feel the guys into photography may help).
What I have found out with rudimentary reading is that you would be needing some software and an essential piece of hardware i.e. a colorimeter for measuring the output of the device being calibrated.
As far as I know some of the better software available for calibration are CALMAN and DisplayCAL and the go to device for colorimeter is Xrite. Lets have a discussion going on to understand what an accurate colour display is and how to enable the same in our existing TVs/projectors, how much it will cost and what are resources needed ?
