Datacolor launches Spyder3TV display calibration device (6/5/2008) Superior picture, reduced energy consumption and extended set life for TV enthusiasts Datacolor, a global leader in digital colour management technology, today announces the Spyder3TV - an easy-to-use display calibration device that enables home cinema enthusiasts to achieve the most precise results when calibrating a display. Using Spyder3TV, TV buffs can fine-tune their own TV and home cinema set up to achieve better image quality, with correct colours and a much more pleasant viewing experience. Spyder3TV is an electronic measurement device that is placed on the front of the TV during the fine-tuning process. The user then installs the accompanying software onto a PC and while the Spyder3TV measures the set's current configuration and determines its ideal settings, a walkthrough wizard guides consumers through the process from start to finish. There are comprehensive help screens throughout, with before and after settings that enable comparison of the original and calibrated displays. A printable report is also available once calibration is complete so that the ultimate settings can be reinstalled at any time. New technology for the most accurate picture and improved efficiency Spyder3TV enables users to optimise settings of plasma, RPTV, DLP, LCD, CRT and front projection sets. By ensuring that brightness, contrast, colour, tint and temperature levels are set to the optimum settings, Spyder3TV is able to extend a set's life and reduce its energy consumption. A calibrated set will also display more accurate colours and lifelike skin tones, with better definition of shadow and highlight detail. System requirements To calibrate a set using Spyder3TV, users will need: * DVD player * Remote controls for TV and DVD player * Desktop or laptop PC located near the set being calibrated (Windows 2000 / XP 32/64 / Vista 32/64) * Free USB port * At least Pentium II 800 MHz processor * 256MB available RAM * 100MB available hard disk space * Video card - 1,024 x 768 resolution, 24 bpp colour (16.7 million colours) Availability and pricing Datacolor's Spyder3TV will be available from 15th May 2008 priced at £99 plus VAT.
