HI,
I recently purchased a Spyder Colorimeter for measuring and tweaking the picture on my Samsung DLP. (if you don't own one of these and can afford the $200 purchase price, I highly recommend it)
The results were pretty decent, better than I have ever managed to get using the Avia calibration disk. Probably the best my TV is going to look outside of getting an actual professional in to do the greyscale work.
I am wondering if it is possible to use the spyder and the accompanying software with the recently released HD version of DVE. If I use the same test patterns that the software is expecting from the HD version of DVE, will the colorimeter and the software give accurate and useful measurements? Will the measurements be better than what I have gotten using the DVD? Does the fact that it is HD and not SD really make that much of a difference for calibration purposes?
If any one knows or has any suggestions on how to do this, I would greatly apprec iate it.
Thanks
Dave
