Having seen Gordon's work again at the HiFi show in Glasgow, I can tell you it is well worth the effort. There was two displays running a comparison, one out of the box and the other after calibration.
Out of the box, you could clearly see that it required some adjustment. I'm sure that you or I could improve on the initial state.
Calibrated screen just looked perfect. Colours, blacks etc were just correct - as it should be. There was a big difference between the calibrated and uncalibrated display.
Looking around the whole show was very interesting. Linn had quite a system running, but surprisingly it wasn't the best on show. That was Acoustic Reproduction Technology (
www.loudspeaker-art.com). Their reference system was the best I've ever heard, and I was totally amazed at it's performance.
All the best,
Dr John Sim.
