I've used my Eye One Pro to calibrate and profile my monitors. I now
have an LCD HDTV set together with a Blu Ray Player which can make full
use of the TV screen to display photographs. (Previous DVD players
seemed quite limited in this regard.) So I would like to at least
calibrate the HDTV for photo viewing purposes.
I presume I can somehow hang the probe on the TV while it is connected
to a laptop and take readings of test patterns, several of which are
available. I presume this won't damage the LCD screen, but I would like
confirmation of that.
However, it would be easier to use the I1 in `beamer' mode, which I
believe people here have discussed before. (Xrite sells a software
module for that purpose for $199, which I am not particularly interested
in buying.) Can anyone review briefly how I go about doing that?
Having calibrated the TV, I presume I can also build a profile which I
can use to modify images I put on DVDs for viewing, but I am unclear
about exactly how that would work. I've done something this for
printing, so I am sure I can reconstruct what I did, but some reminders
would be appreciated.
