Pat's HDTV and Home Theatre calibration

Most people hear that they need to have their HDTV calibrated, but they don’t know why. Adjusting a TV’s color temperature isn’t something you can really do with your eye, even if you think you picked the right one it’s nearly impossible to tell. The calibrator will use a tool to measure the temperature and choose the right one. This is to get the TV as close as possible to the D6500 standard used throughout the film industry. This ensures that your TV looks as close as possible to what the director of the movie or TV show intended.
The Benefits

A correctly calibrated TV will likely look more pleasing to the eye, and may–depending on its light output afterward–draw less power and even last longer. Calibration can result in a dimmer picture than the default settings, and if the TV is producing less light, it uses less power and can enjoy a longer lifespan longer thanks to reduced strain on the light-generating parts of the TV. A correctly calibrated TV, in my experience, also ends up being a more pleasing image for most consumers. The image looks more “natural.” In many cases, if someone isn’t familiar with what a calibrated TV looks like, they’re probably not going to like it…at first. A correctly calibrated TV will appear, to the uninitiated, as reddish and soft. This is because the accurate color temperature is far warmer (redder) than how most TVs look out of the box. The sharpness control–often set very high–adds an artificial edge to everything. This artificial edge enhancement masks real detail, but when you take it away, the image appears soft (even though it’s actually showing more fine detail). So to sum it up, the overall benefit is that your TV looks and performs its best at all times.
