  • Would someone explain step by step how to setup an external monitor?

    Would someone explain step by step how to setup an external monitor?
    i.e. how to setup an NTSC monitor to make sure color, contrast and brightness is correct/fit for TV? Is there a device or color bar or something that can be done? Thanks in advance.

    You can purchase professional televisions that cost around $500 for a 13″. That would probably be the best solution. Other than that, color bars can be used to set up your screen. There are various step-by-step guides on the net that go over calibration techniques. Search for “calibrating a tv with color bars” and choose the method you are most comfortable with.

    The guys at Synthetic Aperture wrote a white paper on it.

    Click on the “Calibrating Video Monitors” link under the “Digital Video” section for a PDF.
