Professional display calibration.
Reference and production monitors, computer displays and TVs, calibrated with the same instruments we use on our own rental fleet.
From $250 per display
Depends on the display. We offer discounts for multiple displays and for regular customers.
Usually one business day
Displays brought to us are typically back with you the next business day. Difficult displays can take longer.
In-house or on site
Bring your displays to us in Preston, or we can come to you and schedule the work around your setup.
Can you trust your display?
Whether you’re making important colour and exposure decisions, or simply want to enjoy films as their creative teams intended, you can’t trust a display until it has been verified with accurate test instruments.
We routinely calibrate the production monitors in our rental fleet, and we’ve invested in quality test equipment to do it. The same service is available to you.
What we calibrate
If a display has basic picture controls (brightness, contrast, and red, green and blue gain and bias), we can calibrate it to a target colour gamut and EOTF.
Reference & mastering monitors
SDR and HDR grading and mastering displays, including corrective 1D and 3D LUT generation.
Production monitors
Client, on-camera, director's and AC monitors, so everyone on set is judging the same picture.
Computer displays
PC and Mac displays used for editing, grading, retouching and design work.
TVs & home theatre
Client reference TVs, home theatre, retail displays and boardroom screens.
Calibration targets
Professional displays often accept a corrective 1D and/or 3D LUT to reach their target. We can generate these LUTs for you.
| Range | Colour gamut | EOTF | Peak luminance |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDR | Rec.709 / BT.709 or DCI-P3 | Gamma 2.4 or BT.1886 | 100 cd/m² |
| HDRDolby Vision / HDR10 | DCI-P3 or Rec.2020 (where supported) | PQ or HLG | 1,000 cd/m² or more display dependent |
Our instruments
LCD, OLED, mini-LED, micro-LED and quantum dot displays all reproduce colour differently. Following best practice, we use a colorimeter and a spectroradiometer in tandem to profile whichever technology your display uses.
How much does it cost?
A typical rate is $250 per display, but some displays take a lot longer than others. It’s best to for a quote, as we offer discounts for multiple displays and for regular customers.
How long does it take?
Some displays are designed with efficient calibration in mind; others aren’t. If you bring a display to us, we typically arrange for it to be with us for only one business day. For a site visit, we’ll discuss the number and types of displays with you and arrange a schedule.
