In fact, Samsung claims that the results of the Basic Mode calibration achieve a Delta E 2000 value of less than one. It takes a maximum of three minutes to run (again, it could be less depending on the capabilities of your phone and TV), but crucially Samsung claims it can deliver around 90% of the accuracy you would expect to achieve with a professional calibration. This calibrates 20 points of white balance, and also analyses greyscale linearity and gamma. If you want much more accurate results, the EZCal app provides a Basic Mode. Obviously there was no way for me to confirm this via a laptop presentation - but even on the laptop feed it was easy to see how the ‘after’ EZCal Quick Mode calibration image looked noticeably closer to a professionally calibrated image sitting alongside it than it did before the 15-second calibration had been run.
The Samsung representative I spoke with suggested that the Quick Mode delivers around 70% of the accuracy you might get with a full calibration.
The Quick Mode only works at the 2pt white balance level, so there are limits to its results. This is pretty amazing when you consider that professional calibrators usually allow at least half a day for a full calibration visit. The exact time for each Quick Mode calibration will vary according to the capabilities of your phone and Samsung TV - though during the demo I saw, the Quick Mode process actually took only 15 seconds. The Quick Mode takes less than 30 seconds to complete all of its measurements and TV adjustments. EZCal gives you three different calibration options.
