Calibration

I'm about to calibrate my TV using an actual calibration video and filters. I will be writing down all my settings beforehand and comparing them to the values i get afterward.

UPDATE: OK. I'm no longer pissed at the calibration DVD. The only setting I can't seem to set right is Contrast.

Here are my before and after settings;
Contrast: +78, +50
Brightness: +58, +60
Color: +54, +56
Tint: 0, -6
Sharpness: (I read that sharpness makes no difference on HDTVs)

There are some other settings that my TV has like Color Temp, C.A.T.S., Video NR, MPEG NR, and Black Level. I left everything "off" and have Black Level on "light."

  1. Sharpness should be set to low as possible. You will actually introduce noise if the sharpness is too high or too low. I need to know what you color temperature setting is? Also, on you ps3 make sure that RGB is set to "limited" superwhite is on and color space is set to automatic.

  2. Color temp is at normal. All the PS3 settings are already set to those, but I'm not seeing a "color space" setting.

  3. Set the color temp to warm. It will look like thogs become yellow, but actually there is probably too much blue in the current color temp. You can directly relate temperature to wavelength emission. The sun is around 5500-6500 Kelvin and this is the definition for white light.

  4. Also, what is your baclight setting? Again I would recommend as low as you can stand. About 25% is a recommended level.
