Okay I didn’t expect to get another tablet any time soon…so why am I using a Blackberry Playbook now? Well, let’s just say that it’s a birthday gift from my sister. For those who know me will come to know that I do own a iPad. The iPad has served me well with most of my needs such as reading news online and composing a mail, all without the need of a keyboard or a mouse. Well for now, I guess my iPad has found a new owner, my little niece! Ever since she laid her hands on my iPad, she has been bugging me whole day long to let her use it. It has become her fave plaything and it serves its purpose alright! She can literally play with the iPad – mostly to watch youtube clips (her fave includes Hi-5, Doraemon, Chips and Dale, Sesame Street etc) for hours! Now you see, I’m having problem gaining access to my ‘own’ iPad in my house now! LoL…so the opportunity came when my sister asked me what I will I like to have for my birthday present, immediately without any hesitation, I told her I want another tablet, a 7” tablet to be a little precise. I hinted to her a Blackberry Playbook from Research In Motion (RIM). She has a Blackberry Touch which her company has given to her for accessing the corporate emails and I thought it’ll be easier for her to relate to. So there you go…why and how I got a Blackberry Playbook when I’m clearly not a Blackberry kind-of-person…

Finally managed to find some time this morning to embark on the 3D calibration of my JVC RS40 projector. About a month ago, I have just performed another round of recalibration on my 2D viewing and the results very good. Chroma 5 colorimeter is in every way, more accurate in its reading and decoding of the Primaries (RGB) and the Secondaries (CMY) compared to the X-Rite Display 2LT colorimeter.

Is there any difference in calibrating 3D vs. 2D?

Technically speaking, the answer is ‘NO’. Meaning you still need to perform the usual calibrations/measurements such as:

1) Setting the right Contrast and Brightness

2) Calibrate for White Balance (RGB)

3) Ensuring the Gamma is as close to the range of 2.2 – 2.3 or sometimes 2.4 (depending on your viewing environment)

4) And of course select the color temp to be as close to 6500K as possible.
