Portrait Displays, a leader in color-calibration solutions and advanced display control, has announced plans to release a simplified, lower-cost consumer version of its forthcoming CalMAN 2019 professional video calibration software.

Due out in April, CalMAN Home software will be offered in four consumer-friendly versions, each priced at $145 and designed to provide automatic color calibration for TVs from LG, Panasonic, Samsung, or Sony. Additional versions will be made available in the future.

“Color calibration delivers an exceptional home cinema experience with optimized color, allowing consumers to view films, TV shows, and other media just as the creator intended,” Portrait said in a press release announcing the software, which is said to include “the most utilized features” plus streamlined versions of many advanced features.

In addition to automatic calibration, or AutoCal, CalMAN Home enables manual calibration for TV models that don’t support AutoCal, provides color settings geared to different viewing activities and environments, and includes one year worth of updates.
