Custom Calibration Test

[gatorlangman]

Hey guys, I figured since I'm going to be hooking up my computer to my HDTV I figured why not make a calibration file that has pictures that are 1920x1080.

Yes I could of just bought DVD essentials or some other calibration disk.. but why spend the money when you don't have to?

So I selected some colors.. I used photoshop to create the images. I chose pure colors.. pure blue, pure purple, pure red, pure cyan, pure green, pure yellow. I made sure they were pure by manually changing the hex numbers.

So here are the pictures(make sure to let them load all the way because they are progressive scan.)

And then I have had problems with different TV's and monitors having issues with the backlight shining through.. I can normally see it when the screen is completely black.. so I figured I would make a black image as well. So this is the backlight test picture.

Also note the reason I did black and white as a seperate image is because sometimes when a color is next to black or white it may apear lighter or darker than it really is.

on the black and white test, I also made a circle in the middle so you can see if your white is bright enough without compromising your blacks. I will soon make a flash video of a white ball moving fast on a black background for a ghosting test.


So you guys are welcome to use this calibration test I made if you want to.

So what do you guys think?
