# My Television is Calibrated
I finally managed to get my [television](http://www.energenix.com/toshiba-tw40x81.html) [calibrated](http://photos.spine.cx/index.pl/Miscellaneous/TV%20Calibration?cols=3) by a professional. His name is Gregg Loewen, and he was nice enough to [post on the forums](http://forums.spine.cx/viewtopic.php?topic=72) a description of what he did.
Click below for a graph of pre-calibration vs. post-calibration values for color temperature.
