[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 944691, member: 29446"] Calibration isn't as important starting off. If you're going to want to eventually do this as a serious hobby or as a professional, then you'll want to calibrate. You'll probably be wanting a hardware calibrate like a Spyder or Huey. They use a meter you plug into the computer and use with the provided software to properly calibrate a monitor. Don't use a LCD TV. The resolution on a TV just isn't that good. Buy an external monitor with some type of IPS display panel and you'll be set. The ones with TN panels are nearly impossible to calibrate, have reduced viewing angles, and can even show color shifts by physically moving up/down or left/right by an inch or two. [/QUOTE]
