I love a good feel-good story, especially about TV calibration!


While watching Inception on my 500 dollar (in 2012) non smart 1080p TV with my cousin / neighbor, she commented on how amazing it looked, and wanted to know what I did since it was better than hers. She has a 4K TV…


Where calibration drones come with TVs to automatically calibrate them.


I never understood why TVs need calibration?

Why doesn't every digital color value have one and only one corresponding physical value in terms of light wavelength and intensity? So like, a YUV value of XYZ represents light with a wavelength of 480nm with an intensity of how many ever candela. Why don't the digital values have exact defined real world specs?

Because the display is impacted by the environment in which it is viewed. It's the same reason that iPads now calibrate their displays automatically based on lighting conditions. That technology just hasn't be added to TVs yet I guess.
