TV is 4 years old & was calibrated 2 yrs ago. Is the color supposed to be calibrated every couple years? Our TV salesperson says after a couple years, it doesn't make much difference & I don't know why he'd think that considering they charge $300!
It is flat screen not rear projection. My husband swears they need to be calibrated every couple years and we don't know how to do it ourselves.
Answer
Back when CRT-based TVâs, monitors, and projectors were the only game in townâand consumer display calibration was beginning to take roots within a niche market comprised primarily of videophiles and ardent video enthusiastsâit was recommended that such displays be recalibrated annually for those that wanted to maintain the highest level of color accuracy possible. But that was back when the overwhelming majority of consumer electronics manufacturers universally dismissed or ignored color accuracyâ¦regularly producing TVâs and RPTVâs pre-set from the factory to produce a noticeably bluer gray-scale, which is typically perceived as brighter and more vivid.
Once more and more consumers were exposed to greater color accuracy and improved picture fidelity, thanks in large part to the efforts of Joe Kane and the Imaging Science Foundation, and further promoted by the media, most manufacturers of todayâs consumer display devices now regularly provide one or more factory settings in addition to a variety of user-accessible picture controls that offer substantially better color accuracy and image fidelity directly out of the box. Without question, professional display calibration is far from a necessity for most consumers; only die-hard enthusiasts and videophiles (and opportunistic big-box consumer electronics retailers) believe/claim display âcalibrationâ is a necessity.
From an earlier post* of mine: âI also encourage you to read the online Peter Putnam article, the Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity articles, and several of the other applicable resources to which I have provided a links below. In the end you may find that the optimization process is more than sufficient.â If you really feel the need for regular instrument-based professional display calibrations then you should strongly consider purchasing your own tristimulus colorimeterâsome selling for roughly the same price as a single display calibration from Best Buyâs Geek Squadâand performing your own display âcalibrationsâ at your leisure.
The bottom line is this: without a precision calibrated color reference display, placed side-by-side with your display, it is extremely unlikely that youânot unlike the majority of people with normal color visionâwill be able to notice if the color accuracy (or gray-scale tracking) of your television is out of tolerance by a small to moderate amount. Quite often careful display configuration and optimization is all one needs to enjoy a sufficiently accurate color picture. And if you still feel the need to pay for a third-party professional display calibration then you should at least receive a significant discount for regular periodic âmaintenanceâ calibrations.

Best graphic card for 20 inch monitor?
om
i have samsung 20 inch led monitor. i also have intel i3 processor. i whant to by graphic card so give me suggestion for buying car
sorry for bad inglish
Answer
Well, that really depends on how much money are you welling to spend. I had a core i 3, a 20 inch monitor, and a HD 6850, and i can play batlefield 3 with like 40 -50 fps everything maxed out.
If you have a good PSU, you can get a 6850 6790 6750, these three can handle 20' pretty good. Although, they require good PSU.
If you dont have a good psu, you should get a 6670, is OK, not good, but at least you can play most of the games, in medium settings.
It really depends on you budget.
