The Calibration Conundrum: Towards Standardizing a Reference White Chromaticity for HDTV

High definition displays have pushed tremendous engineering and color reproduction boundaries. While they have become more widely accepted into the consumer landscape, post-production professionals often experience problematic color appearance mismatches amongst new display technologies. — Rendered imagery that is visually mismatched is an example of a metameric failure: a phenomenon that occurs when spectrally unique stimuli (which are intended to appear identical) are perceived differently. — Both a simulation and psychophysical assessment are developed in an attempt to quantify variability in color perception when using different displays. A mean visually-corresponding chromaticity offset is calculated as a replacement calibration aim. This offset is intended to satisfy a greater population of observers than existing calibration methods.
