Didn't know where to post this.. but does anyone know of any free HDTV Calibration software? I saw the monster ISF DVD but I'm not trying to spend 20 bucks.. I guess I will if I have to but I figured there would be some free stuff available. I did a search and only found one set of slides but I didn't really understand how to use them.. there were no instructions.

We have a great Multimedia section for this.

I'm moved it there.

There are decent calibration tools on every LucasArts/THX DVD. Indiana Jones and Star Wars all have it.

Do you have a Netflix subscription and a Blu-Ray player?

Rent the DVE disc.

There are differences between NTSC encoding and ATSC/HD encoding.

Me? I calibrate for ATSC and don't worry about NTSC as much.

If there were an ISF calibrator here in Huntsville I would pay the money in a heartbeat.

Thx I qued Indiana Jones in Netflix.. as far as DVE goes.. don't you need the color filters to use it correctly? I can pick those up at a camera store right?

It is hit or miss with Netflix, but if it was returned, you'll receive it in the envelope.

BTW: Amazon has DVE for $16.

If you ever need to re-calibrate or calibrate another display, it would be handy to have around.
