This thread may well end up like this But my retail i1 Display pro is arriving tomorrow and I've noticed several members who own meters and have gone down the DIY calibration route. I have ordered this meter and will be using it in conjuction with HCFR, and using the AVS 709 AVCHD burnt onto a dvd. Using the retail i1 it then gives me the option further down the line to use something more intuitive like Calman. Note: The retail i1 will NOT work with Chromapure, you would need this For more indepth information on the meter, pro upgrades and software then contact RickyJ who owns Kalibrate Limited and is an assured advertiser on these forums. And the chromapure thread If I'm honest whether you pay someone or do it yourself a panel like the VT65 deserves to be calibrated to see the best out of it.
For those interested in attempting calibration yourself this is a good starting guide Credit to KalW here Anyway I'd be interested in seeing results other owners have achieved, pre and post results and just a general thread where people can ask questions and help each other. For anyone not interested in doing it themselves but wants their set calibrated by a professional then look Thanks. Click to expand.Pics would most definitely be appreciated. Obviously the 2008 guide is out of date with certain things, the principles and basics of the calibration are the same but it doesn't go into things like you've mentioned with regards to the 50ire pattern to sync the meter and using an offset. Are you able to when you have time just give me a quick breakdown of initial steps with regards to setting up the meter from the point that I've obviously selected my meter from the drop down menu, selected plasma as the calibration mode. I.e the difference between having to do this with the old eye-one.

Installable HCFR 3.0.4.3 package with the latest madVR support can be found here. Old version needs to be uninstalled first. Edit: I wonder if anyone could help me with a video card quirk. Whenever there is an HDMI handshake the video card resets itself into a mode where it loads what I think are default calibration values. The tuner calibration files are saved on hard disk and contain a table with S-parameters as a function of motor (or tuner probe) positions, one file per frequency. Reliable results are obtained when the VNA is calibrated using TRL. VNA calibrations using SOLT method do not yield acceptable tuner data above 3-4GHz.

Could someone please let me know exactly what options should be set, and what boxes need to be ticked, unticked etc Something doesn't seem right, I spent all night getting pro mode calibrated, average delta errors were 0.5 on greyscale and a pretty flat gamma at 2.4 but the picture looked like crap. I don't think they are the real readings. Because of this I reset to defaults and tested pro out the box and the average delta was 26 Now I know out the box modes are not accurate but pro should be better than that. I'd expect a delta average of a single figure out of the box at least for pro mode. I think I haven't got hcfr set up correctly somewhere and the greyscale for dummies guide is not relevant for the newest hcfr fork build.
Yes the principles of calibration are the same but I mean the set up.
