Hey guys,
Yet another thread from me as I learn more and more. Having had some advanced time with my LG EF9500 and CalMAN Enthusiast yesterday, I got around to doing Saturation and Luminance Sweeps, along with the Color Checker patterns. Which got me playing around with the LG's CMS controls. And as I am aware, it has always been advised to just avoid the CMS controls for the LG OLED's as they are not very "accurate". But the OCD in me wants to correct the colors to get everything "perfect".
So I did some reading and found that the eeColor box would basically fit the bill as I do not watch any type of 3D movies or content...though I obviously cannot use it with my Sammy UHD player since it doesn't support 4k. As far as I can tell, I would just connect the HDMI out from my AVR to the eeColor, than connect it to my Display (I would use the secondary HDMI out on my Anthem receiver for the Sammy UHD player to bypass the eeColor). Than when using CalMAN, I would connect the eeColor to my PC via USB cable and after a few settings, CalMAN would take care of the 3D lut creation/calibration automatically, like a DDC TV/Monitor basically.
1) Do I do a full 20pt Grayscale Calibration like normal before creating the 3D lut?
2) I should leave all CMS controls/color controls set to default (0) and let the eeColor handle it all?
3) Right now all I have is an unprofiled iD3 (will be getting it profiled by a calibrator with his Jeti sometime in the future)...this would still be an acceptable meter to use for the 3D lut creation?
4) I am using MadTPG as my pattern generator with CalMAN...will this setup still work for the eeColor/3D lut creation?
5) Once the 3D lut is created, if I ever go back to touch up grayscale/brightness/contrast on the TV, do I need to redo the 3D lut/recheck it for errors?
6) Any severe HDMI handshake issues I could potentially run into using it with my Anthem, Xbox One, Mede8er, or DirecTV cable box (again, no 3D content at all being used)?
Thanks guys. I know I have been asking a lot lately but I find this a really fun part of the overall A/V hobby and am just trying to maximize my results with as little investment as possible (the eeColor is about the most I can spend for a 3D lut device).
