A contact message we just received via the website:
"I am yet another Calman user who is unsatisfied with the results I get when using their software. I have a couple of questions about ColourSpace before purchasing it. I have read everything I could find on AVSforum and your blog posts, but I might have missed something, please excuse me for that. I am a freelance colorist, currently based in Lisbon, Portugal. I am using Davinci Resolve. The reference monitor I am using is 42" LG Oled C3. I am only working with SDR content, but preparing myself for HDR era. I am using Calibrite Display Pro probe (old 1000 nits model, not the new SL and HL model line). I have bought Calman Home software and I have done at least 10 calibrations with AutoCal, but unfortunately, I always end up getting color banding. Also, the last time I contacted their support it took 10 days for them to respond. Here my questions regarding ColourSpace: 1) If I understand correctly, this is the minimum required list of things I need to purchase: Colourspace HTL; the raspberry pi 3 b+ unit; Ted's pgenerator iso. Is that correct? Also, there is an 8gb ram and a 4gb ram Pi 3b+ units, which one should I get? 2) Will buying HTL license unlock me "LG OLED Profiling/Calibration Guides"? And will these guides be sufficient for 2023 Oled models? 3) Is Colourspace HTL the cheapest license option for me with my requirements (SDR; LG internal LUT upload)? 4) Is my probe sufficient for calibrating with ColourSpace? 5) How many activations can I do with my license? Asking because I am on a mac and will be running ColourSpace in VMware Fusion Windows emulation, which can go dead at some point, as happened to me before."Our response:
ColourSpace HTL is indeed the minimum for LG TV calibration, and will work with your probe.
However, we would really recommend ColourSpace LTE, as that the minimum for post-production use, but if you are only looking to calibrate the LG TV, HTL will work.
You can actually use Resolve for the TPG, so no need for any Raspberry Pi, or any PGen ISO. But of you do want a PGen setup, get the 4gb Pi 4, as per our PGen info page.
And, yes, you would get access the LG guides.
And as per the website there are 5x user deactivations, but unlimited requests via the website.
(Unlimited means just for situations where a deactivation is needed due to technical requirements - the license is not a floating license.)
