Colorvision SpyderTV Colorimeter

Model No:DATA501

Have you ever noticed that all the TVs in a retail showroom look different and wondered which one was right? If any? Have you ever tried to adjust your TV settings to get a better picture and never quite got it right? SpyderTV takes the guesswork out of improving your TV picture. It doesn’t rely on the human eye, which is subjective. Instead it uses the Spyder, a scientific colorimeter that replaces the human eye.

SpyderTV will:

• Allow you to see your favourite shows and movies just as the director intended
  
• Increase the realism of your programmes by extending highlight and shadow detail.
  
• Enhance your TVs dark images for better visibility – and if you’re a 'gamer' you will really love this benefit.
  
• Improve your overall viewing experience and give you the satisfaction of knowing that your TV has the optimum settings for your set-up.

When you bought your TV, it was set to look good in a retail store that is completely different from your home. Also, the TV manufacturers have no idea what DVD, cables, signal source or other components you are using. All of these have an impact on your TV’s performance. Understanding this, TV manufacturers put superb tools for home adjustment in the user menu for brightness, contrast, colour, tint and colour temperature. The problem is, these tools are difficult to use and you have no way of knowing for sure if you’ve set them correctly. Until now...

SpyderTV is a colorimeter that scientifically measures contrast, brightness, colour, tint, and colour temperature presets on your TV and helps you make the necessary adjustments to dramatically improve your picture quality. The SpyderTV sensor is attached to your laptop or desktop computer using a USB cable, and then attaches to the front of your TV screen. The sensor then analyzes the test patterns on the DVD. Based on the information it sees, the software running on your computer instructs you how to adjust your settings accurately without any guesswork. The SpyderTV is like an electronic 'eye' that makes scientific measurements and tells you how to make the right adjustments that would be impossible to make with the human eye alone.

After the optimization of your TV, our excellent report tool allows you to create a sophisticated report detailing all the changes you have made to your TV. You can save and print the report with your new settings for future reference. You can check the 'before' and 'after' images on your SpyderTV DVD and see the improvement of your TV.
