Sony ·Display Calibration

Exactly what the filmmaker intended.

Every display leaves the factory in an oversaturated showroom mode that has little to do with how content was created. We perform ISF-style calibration on every Sony display and projector so it reproduces accurate color, contrast, and gamma — the picture the colorist approved, in your room.

Capabilities

What Professional calibration delivers

Reference accuracy

Calibrated to industry color standards so whites are neutral, skin tones are natural, and color is true to the source.

Contrast & gamma

Black level, white level, and gamma set so shadow detail and highlights render the way the content was mastered.

Day and night modes

Separate calibrations for bright and dark viewing, so the picture is right whatever the room is doing.

Measured, not eyeballed

Calibration is performed with meters and patterns, then verified — not adjusted by eye.

Projector geometry

For projection, we also dial in geometry and uniformity so the whole image is sharp and even.

Documented results

We can show the before-and-after measurements so you see exactly what calibration achieved.

Showroom mode is not the goal

Factory picture modes are built to grab attention on a bright sales floor — overdriven color, crushed detail, exaggerated sharpness. They're nothing like the reference monitors content is created on.

Calibration undoes all of that, aligning the display to the same standards used in post-production so you finally see the image as it was meant to be seen.

Sony Professional calibration

The instrument behind the image

We calibrate with measurement gear and test patterns, targeting accurate color, contrast, and gamma, then verify the result. Sony's strong out-of-box accuracy gives us an excellent foundation to refine.

The difference is immediately visible: more natural color, deeper detail in shadows and highlights, and a picture that's consistent from one piece of content to the next.

Sony Professional calibration

Is it right for you?

Professional calibration is ideal for

  • Any high-end TV or projector worth seeing accurately
  • Dedicated theaters and serious media rooms
  • Clients who notice — and care about — picture quality
  • Rooms used in both bright and dark conditions

Questions

Good to know

Will I really see a difference after calibration?+

Yes — most clients are surprised how much more natural and detailed the picture looks once it's calibrated away from the default showroom mode.

Do you calibrate both TVs and projectors?+

Yes, both. For projectors we also tune geometry and uniformity in addition to color and contrast.

Does calibration need to be redone?+

Displays drift slowly over time. We can include periodic recalibration in a service plan to keep the picture accurate.
