Display calibrator for LCDs, CRTs, plasma displays, and projectors.
Supercal is an application that can accurately correct monitor response curves using only visual tests. Unlike most calibration applications, no assumptions are made about the display's response curves, so it can make highly accurate and detailed corrections for any display technology (CRT, LCD, DLP, Plasma, etc.) used in desktop, wall mount, and projection systems. Using only your eye as the measuring device, this program is capable of producing a very neutral gray ramp. In addition, profiles with different target gamma and white balance settings can be created without repeating the entire calibration process.
Does a better job than any other eyeball calibrator I have ever tried.
Cons
None. None. None.
Summary
I bought this in a desperate moment when my hardware calibrator puck, possibly deteriorated over the years, couldn't calibrate my dual CRT monitors. It did an amazing job, to the point I'm now considering not buying another hardware calibrator.
Excellent monitor/screen calibration

Pros
I've used this application for years, and one of the results is that what I see on my screen is not only excellent color rendition there, but what I see on the screen is very, very close to what I see on the printed photo output.
The application is easy to use with built-in guidance as you go through the calibration process. I've kept the same monitor when I've changed computers. All I've had to do was recalibrate for the new graphics card.
Cons
None come to mind.
Summary
An excellent software screen calibration tool for those of us who do not need that last bit that comes from hardware calibration equipment.
Problems with test patterns

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The test patterns are not as described in the instructions. The slider has an effect, but there is no way of determining where to set the slider. This is on a 30" Cinema Display.
