    Projector Calibration Demo Evening

    • What is calibration
    • What does it do extra than a set up disc
    • How much can it improve a projector

    Thursday May 24th, 2007. 6pm - 9pm. Admission is FREE and open to all.

    The Audio Works
    14 Stockport Rd
    Cheadle (nr Stockport, Gtr Mcr)
    SK8 2AA

    [multimap location]

    Video Calibration is the equivalent for TVs and projectors as tweaking a HiFi with DACS, tables, blocks and cables. It gets far more performance from display. If you would like to see the results first hand then this is a free event that you can't afford to miss.


    From 6pm until 9pm there will be a number of 25 minute demos so you can drop in and see what image calibration is all about.


    What you will see and learn...
    • what to look for when setting up your projector
    • what the default settings do to your picture
    • how a projector is calibrated
    • the result of an £800 calibrated pj vs £1500 uncalibrated pj
    • and a £1500 calibrated pj vs £1500 uncalibrated pj

    The plan is to show the A/B demos split screen 50/50. This will make comparisons much easier. For those of you with an eye on High Definition (HD) we will also show you how a video processor can help add HD to your existing system.

    The Audio Works is a HiFi and AV retail shop. It will be open all day so if you like your music as much as your AV then come down earlier and have a listen to some great HiFi. Bring a favourite CD if you like.

    Refreshments and nibbles will be served during the evening. For those of you with a license to play out longer we will adjourn to the pub later :)

    It promises to be a good social event as much as an opportunity to learn some new stuff. click here for more info

    P.S. If you are on a schedule and would like to reserve a place then please phone the shop on 0161 428 7887

    I look forward to seeing you there

    Wow I am impressed, a person that knows Cheadle is in Greater Manchester and not Cheshire :).

    Not much point on me going since all I have is a 21" CRT :).

    It might be worth you coming along anyway just for the music side of things. The guys have always got something interesting on the go.

    Regards

    Just a reminder that this is happening today and that entry is free.

    The projectors to be calibrated are the Optoma HD70 and the DC3chipped HD73. The CineVersum Master Two scaler will also be show.



    Please don't post any questions here about what else is on show etc, I won't be online to answer them. You can ring the venue on 0161 428 7887


    See you there :)

    Hi,
    there'll be some screen shots going up soon of an £800 entry level projector beating the same manufactures award winning £1500 projector that has all the performance goodies.

    Check here in a couple of days :)

    All the best
