Settings

Unit-to-unit sample variations, the viewing environment, and the source might render these recommendations less than optimum. They are provided only as a potentially useful starting place.


The settings here that are most likely to translate reliably from one sample to another are those involving specific features with only a few setting options, such as Color Space, Gamma, and Noise Reduction. The ones most likely to be subject to sample variations are video controls offering a wide range of settings. This will be particularly true for color temperature (gray scale).
We strongly advise that you find the optimum basic video settings for your sample using one of the many display setup discs that are available, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics (Blu-ray). A full calibration, particularly of the gray scale, is best left to a trained and properly equipped technician such as those certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) or THX.

Out of the box cinema is closer to the standars and a god starting point for the calibration


In the other hand i didn't see diference between cinema and user1/user2 after calibration.

For regular 2D viewing, how come you use Cinema and not the default mode?

Thanks so much for posting the settings, they helped quite a bit. I'm forced to project onto a non-ideal wall (can't put a screen there), so I had to bump up brightness to 54, and then set contrast by eye to 49.

Yes, this is a very old thread, but just got a "new to me" w1070 (which I love by the way), so if anybody is still talking about settings, or if the post 1 settings have been refined further since 2013, I'd love to hear it.
