Just received the EyeOne2 and Calman. Trying to decide the best way to calibrate my Pioneer Plasma.

Firstly I have a HTPC with Vista Media Centre using Pioneer 508XDA Plasma as the display. I note I could use Eye_match to create a colour profile like I have done for my computer LCD displays but not sure how this compares to a CalMan calibration.

I also would seek the best way to run the HTPC PatGen and Calman?

I could use the HTPC to run both or a laptop connected via VGA connection to Plasma, any recommendations of the best setup here?

thanks in advance this is all new to me.

Don't use the x-rite software. Use calman. Now the easiest option would be if you had a monitor hooked up to the computer aswell. Then you could have the HTPC signal generator output to the TV then use the monitor for calman. Second best option is to use a laptop with calman and then use the AVS HD 709 calibration DVD or the HTPC signal generator(it should be able to be controlled by calman if it is on the same network). You can find the free calibration DVD on avsforum.com under the calibration section.

I have the same name on there as well. You may want to consider posting over there as it seems to be more active.
