I've tried to calibrate my projector (Sanyo PLV-70) today, but this
was a complete disappointment! First of all, the projector calibration
doesn't allow to set the white point correctly. My projector has RGB
controls, but the Spyder2Pro software only offers Kelvin sliders and
Kelvin presets, no RGB adjustments as for monitors. So I used 2.2,
6500K-Native and ran the calibration, but the result was horrible!
Everything was much too green. The colors were so wrong, even a blind
man would have seen it. When switching the "Before" and "After"
pictures at the end of the calibration process, one could see how
horrible the Spyder2Pro chose the colors. I thought "Before" and
"After" should be exchanged - then the result would have been
satisfactory.

By default, my PLV-70 produces a rather greenish picture. I know that,
because I compared it directly to a professionally calibrated PLV-Z4,
which has fantastic colors. The Spyder calibration made the picture of
the PLV-70 even more green, which obviously can not be correct.

All in all I can not recommend projector calibration with Colorvision
products at all. It's a complete waste of your precious time (and the
expensive projector lamp time). It simply doesn't work and the results
are ridiculous!

Regards,

Martin

PS: I'm sure I have set up everything correctly. I've double checked
everything, ran the calibration twice, etc.
