LAS VEGAS: US software developer Portrait Displays, Inc., has partnered with LG Electronics, to provide auto calibration capability for LG's 2018 OLED and SUPER UHD televisions being unveiled this week at CES in Las Vegas.
At CES Portrait and LG are demonstrating the auto calibration using a pre-release version of Portrait's flagship software CalMAN by SpectraCal.
Because all 2018 LG OLED and SUPER UHD TVs allow direct CalMAN access to internal look-up tables (1D and 3D LUTs), the color accuracy can be so precise that the TVs can now match the video accuracy of professional reference monitors.
"The LG TVs with CalMAN AutoCal blur the distinction between the professional reference monitor and the consumer television," said Martin Fishman, Co-CEO of Portrait Displays.
"Of significance, you can sit at home and see exactly what the director of the movie was intending," Fishman said.
"The addition of the world's leading auto calibration software from Portrait Displays to our 2018 LG OLED and SUPER UHD TV models will greatly streamline the process for professional calibrators and ensure that consumers will be able to enjoy the full potential of their LG OLED or SUPER UHD television," said Neil Robinson, LG's Director of Technology Partnerships.
Portrait Displays is the world leading vendor of video calibration software. Portrait's CalMAN software is the video calibration solution chosen by nearly every professional video calibrator, and by most end users in broadcast, production, and post-production, as well as the most popular solution for home video enthusiasts.
Auto calibration transforms a task that could require an hour or greater by a trained professional into one that can be performed in minutes, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the calibration.
"You simply connect CalMAN on your computer to the LG television using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and then let CalMAN's AutoCal make your picture perfect," Fishman said.
