screen calibration

yo,

anyone have any recommendations for good screen calibration software or any advice on this topic?

any help would be just super
 
I don't know but monitoring your show through a couple of cheap consumer TV sets is a must. A lot of times stuff will be too dark and so you'll have to make adjustments. Ditto with audio. It's gotta sound balanced and cannot distort when played at a decent volume through a cheap 3" TV speaker.
 
I use the Spyder Express for my photos but for proper video editing, as Blade said, you should use a calibrated monitor. Even so different TV's are set to different levels so what people see can vary widely depending on their set.
 
Google "SMPTE Color Bars" and you'll find a lot of articles about how to set your monitor to color bars which is the television standard.

Chances are you won't be able to get it exactly without a "pro" monitor that will give you a blue only setting, but you can pretty close.
