Why calibrate?
FAQ
How long does it take?
Typical bench time is 1–2 business days per shipment.
Is shipping insured?
Insurance is recommended. Buyer is responsible for declaring/assuming shipping costs & insurance; signature is required on return.
What monitors are supported?
At the moment, I’m currently offering calibration for SmallHD monitors running PageOS 5 & 6 and Flanders Scientific. Please contact robert@machadovisuals.com if you have another monitor you’d like to calibrate.
Which calibration targets should I choose?
Most productions (including myself) target Rec.709, D65, EOTF Power 2.4. Most monitors are capable of displaying a wider gamut (such as P3) but handle the Rec.709 conversion internally. In this case, a P3 target is recommended so the monitor can enforce the desired color pipeline.
How often should I calibrate?
The best answer is, as often as you can without being a burden. Displays can start producing measurable drift within a few months and start affecting your color/exposure decisions on set. Depending on usage, I generally recalibrate my monitors every 3-6 months.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes! If you recalibrate within 6 months, you automatically become eligible to receive a 20% discount off your next order (excluding shipping).
