In our recent Capitol Hill project we completed a full ISF calibration of the installed ultra short throw projector.
We are often asked, “Why calibrate? Isn’t my projector (or TV) already good to go out of the box?”
Unfortunately, no. Manufacturers have displays calibrated to outshine their competition, which does not lead to the best viewing experience for a home environment. Additionally, every home has different lighting levels and wall/decor colors which will ultimately effect the end result.
Manufacturers ship TVs/ projectors in settings that look amazing to potential buyers (think of TVs at big box retailers) but those settings are usually turned up high on showroom floors, skewing the image quality and over driving your displays processor. Which leads to a quicker burn out.
With ISF calibration a specialized camera is used to take snapshots of each individual color that your display produces and recalibrate to the ideal colors for your particular viewing environment.
For high end displays we often suggest calibration services to ensure the best possible picture quality while extending the life of your display.
