Hey guys, I'm new to the community and really appreciate your opinion. I have quite a bit of experience with tvs and electronics in general and have always been one of those people that keeps up to date in this area. I just purchase a Samsung un55f7100 and I am looking into calibration as I want the best out of my tv. Instead of purchasing isf calibration from best buy I wanted to try my hand at using hcfr.

I've read through a couple guides and have a rudimentary knowledge as I have spend 5 years in installing/selling tvs in the past. My question is if im going to be using hcfr to calibrate do i want the spyder 4 express (no ambient light sensor) or do i want the pro model (ambient light sensor)? If I do go for the pro model how does hcfr use this sensor.

Do i have to input initial readings or does the sensor/hcfr take the light into account when displaying other values? My tv does have day and night settings so if I can take advantage of properly calibrating both scenarios i would like to.

But if HCFR doesn't use this info then Ill save the money on the sensor. Springfield gun serial number lookup. Thanks for your input.

I have the option of upgrading my ancient Spyder2 express, which i no longer use for any of my LED monitor, or 60 inch LED ES8000 samsung. The upgrade plan provided by data color will give me 30% off. The i1Pro is not the same as the i1Display Pro. The i1Pro is a spectro; the i1 Display Pro is a colorimeter.

The actual model number of the i1Display Pro is EODIS3 (Eye One Display 3), so people usually call it D3 or i1D3 for short. Many calibrators purchase both so that they can get the best of both worlds by profiling their colorimeters. You get the accuracy of the spectro, with the speed and low-light capability of the colorimeter.
