What is the recommended color to lock when doing a greyscale on a DLP front projector ?

Is it still green or is it red as some suggest ?

Thanks

Normally it would be green after setting the white and black levels, but I sometimes lock down red when doing the RGB contrasts because I will find where red runs out from the (UHP) lamp (increase red contrast until you can't detect any more increase, then back it down until you start to see a decrease) and calibrate the green and blue to the red. That prevents having a greyscale dip above 80 or 90IRE when red runs out so you don't end up with too much blue/green there.

Find your maximum RGB levels using the sensor - decrease two of the colors to track down to D65. No need to use the software to tell you what to change next if you learn your color science on how colors add/subtract. You should be able to calibrate without the RGB histogram or bars visible - just use the D65 target. You will get better results than relying on dancing bars to tell you what to do. There are infinite RGB combinations that will give you a RGB D65 balance - only one of the combinations gives you maximum contrast with targeted gamma.

Usually red is your limiting color with UHP and blue with Xenon - but that is not always the case - depends on firmware, gamma, clean optics....so do not assume anything.

Thank you kindly.
