So I googled the instances of the term 'calibration' in
rec.video, and it seems to occur more often the
further back in time one goes.
Succinctly: display 'calibration' seemed considerably
more important back in the 'good'ol days' of CRT and
other forms of direct-view TV sets. A shame, since
the factory default settings for the current flat-panel
technology that superseded CRT are more garish and
inaccurate than the default settings for consumer
CRTs ever were.
So I guess pursuing even a part-time, or on-call,
gig as a display calibrator is no longer a lucrative
idea.
Sad.
