I have a 52 inch 1080i DLP and, other than tweaking the unit's setting, the unit has never been calibrated. I have started reading about user-friendly calibration tools and discs and wondered if anyone can recommend any of the available tools.

Thanks.

Digital video essentials or AVIA http://www.amazon.ca/Avia-Guide-To-Home-Theater/dp/630551982X are good starts. The THX calibration found on all THX certified DVDs is also a start.

Tony's right, I use the Avia disc and it is easy to understand and does a good job.

Are you asking about just setup discs?...or are you looking for a calibration meter and software?

I suggest you post the exact model number and be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish, as well as the rest of your system.

The model is RU52SZ61D, and I would like to calibrate the TV to obtain the best color/brightness/contract/tint/..., etc. I can get out of the system. For DVD, I use the Oppo 983H DVD player.

SpectraCal has a number of packages available with their software, as does ChromaPure. You could also purchase a meter and use the free HCFR software if need be. I would be wary of buying a used Display 2 meter. Stick to getting a new one as you have no way of telling how well they took care of it.

Much thanks to you all, Gents.

I will look into the options and get one of them. When I get a new display unit, I can still use it.
