How to Color calibrate your Projector using the Xrite i1 Display Pro color calibrator.

This is a quick demo on how to calibrate your projector using a calibrator with your PC.

Projectors are awesome as they can display huge images for a very affordable price. They are not rich in color compared to led monitors, especially with some ambient lighting. The color calibration definitely helps with giving the projector a deeper color.

The differences are not easy to see in the quick comparison but there is a subtle difference in the contrast and saturation on the image especially in the blues.

The reason why I chose the Xrite display pro calibrator over the spyder 5 is because of the option to calibrate projectors too.

Too bad we dont have the option to save the color profile to a usb or something and be able to upload it directly on the Benq device.

Yeah this tells you how to correct a colour profile on laptop to projector, but what about colour correcting a projector from another source that isn't a computer? Eg a Chromecast, Xbox, Blu-ray etc.

[fofocho]

Good but I want to calibrate the projector, not the sources

[TimothyHuey]

Saying you calibrated the projector is a bit of a misnomer. You haven't calibrated the projector at all, you calibrated the Video Output of the PC for use with that projector, screen and ambient light conditions..

Does it just give you a display profile? Can it help you calibrate your display with the in-menu projector settings? So the color is correct for all non-PC inputs?

[JensHove]

If you want to calibrate more than one source to one display, you need a scaler, or similar, equipment, that allows you to make full adjustments per input. I have a DVDO Duo, and it's pretty perfect for the job.

Before was better. I have an Epsom 5350 UE model . There is not much you can do to improve the picture. It okay out of the box . Sometimes it a matter of preference. Thanks for the video.

How do we define “as close as possible” in terms of distance of colorimeter to projected image?

[juliusvalentinas]

The colorimeter uses diffused light filter or not?

Is there more to it than this? So, in a nutshell, it calibrates the projector for you? It seems too easy! Please let me know if there are some 'advanced settings'I need to look at. Does this i1Display calibrate for HDR (high dynamic range)? . thx!

Buddy is there any affordable way to calibrate the projector not using pc or something so that i can enjoy calibrated screen on my apple tv also??

[simonjenkins]

Does the i1 Display Pro auto adjust the brightness of the projector when it does the calibration?

[MobileDecay]

Before and after look mostly the same. Probably could have just slightly tweaked the brightness to get that look.

[King_Henry]

Wait a minute. So you say that I can only use the custom profile from a calibration if im only using the PC i did it with? That doesn't make sense...can't you save that profile in your projector for bluray use etc???
