I forgot to ask this, but in step 6 above in "Initial Grayscale Assessment" what controls would you use for adjusting primary colors? I have a Sanyo Z5 which seems to have many different controls. Did you mean the overall Gamma (-7 to +7) control, or the R/G/B controls for White Balance (not the same as the separate R/G/B controls for each of the Gain/Offset/Gamma)? Very confusing to a new person in my attempt to understand and perform calibration. :-) Sorry.

This is nice. However, I've got the SpyderTV sensor. It does not come with any removable filters (seems that ColorVision expects users to point the sensor at the screen, not the projector). They provide a tripod mount (no MacGyver'ing required). Does this setup in any way alter your recommendations on using HCFR? Hi. This is nice. However, I’ve got the SpyderTV sensor.
