Spyder3HDMI doesn't need any help to calibrate your TV
Datacolor has been pushing the automated calibration solution for a while with its line of SpyderTV products, the latest of which simplifies things even further, cutting out the need for an attached PC by simply connecting to the television's HDMI input. This way, everything that needs to be done is on the TV screen itself, and the company claims it will work with any digital TV. Considering how many people still aren't even watching HD on their HDTVs, even if its price isn't a hurdle (none announced yet, although the current Spyder3 pictured here is $99,) consumer ignorance will still leave many LCDs and plasmas stuck on torch mode or worse.
Datacolor @ CEDIA - SpyderTV PRO
Calibration, calibration, calibration. We have talked about this so much that it should be tattooed on your forehead by now. It is simply the most important thing you can do for your high-def experience. SpyderTV PRO by Datacolor is one of our favorite DIY methods and happened to be on display at this years CEDIA EXPO. One of the guys were nice enough to run down the process with us but really there is nothin' to it. Plug in the calibration eye to a computer via USB, stick the device on the TV (or on a tripod facing the projector screen) and follow the step-by-step instructions on the computer screen. That's it and in the end should give you a great calibration.
