No, the settings have to be changed on the monitor/TV itself, if I understand what you are asking. I've always wanted to calibrate all my displays (TV, and monitors) but I'm wondering how it works, once it calibrates are the settings all done through software settings? or would I have to change the settings of the display manually through the monitor/tv button settings? I ask this because one of my TV's doesn't have an htpc set up on it and so if I want to calibrate the display and I don't have a computer that will set it through software then a device like this would be useless for that tv. i-1578799/įor more demanding users, the pro level version Datacolor Spyder4Elite is also on sale, at B&H only, comes to 234 CAD all in (100 USD off):ĭarKCroNo wrote: ↑Hey guys, hopefully you guys can help me.
