The Official Pioneer 9G Kuro Settings/Issues Thread - Page 26

I hope this will be a simple question (2 actually) and that they will be relavent to others (I apologize if these might be answered elsewhere.

First: when I'm watching a movie in widescreen format the black bar across the top is much smaller than the one at the bottom. Is my image shifted? Would this affect full screen watching (images getting cut off at the top)?

Second: Is there a way to make the side bars seen when watching 4:3 format black in lieu of gray?

Just out of curiousity D-Nice, if my panel was showing fleshtones more towards the green side with the previous reference settings will these new settings make them look even more green or less green?

Why is that? What was wrong with the previous settings.

If they look green, use the HEPM green push settings.

Well my panel is not one of the HEPM units and I did try those settings but on my 111 it made the fleshtones to redish/pink.

Try messing slightly with the tint control.

It's interesting, I wondered the same thing about how there might be different ways to get to 6500k. These settings do look better. Flesh tones are even more natural with the new settings. In fact, all the colors look better with these settings than the previous. When he said it was a dramatic difference, he wasn't kidding.

Thanks again, D-Nice.

I don't think it was the source D as I was using National Treasure 2 on Blu-Ray playing on my PS3 over HDMI. I have the PS3 set to output video on the Y/Pb settings instead of RGB, is this the right way for BD movie playback?

Must be my eyes cause the wife says it looks great, but faces seem still a bit greenish to me. I did break in the panel for about 200hrs fist but I used your older 8G settings because I purchased the 111 weeks before you got yours to review.

Any ideas?

i finally got around to doing my isf night and auto calibration - pretty interesting results - very comparable to performance and pure.


btw - d-nice - your new pure settings do have a slight green tint to them.

D-Nice's 9G Elite ISFccc Settings

D-Nice's workflow for calibrating the Pioneer 9G Elite's ISFccc Interface is also in that Thread.

D-Nice,

I just played around with your new settings and they do seem to perform better overall with the variety of content I threw at it so great job as always! One question I did have, just out of sheer curiosity, was why this time you chose to adjust the G low controls? I know you've said in the past these controls in particular (G High/Low) are ones you would normally only adjust when all other options have been exhausted. Is this what it came down to this time around?

Got it and as always thanks for the knowledge

Thank you Turbe for the link.

Surething

also - i have an i1-pro and i can not even get close to your settings - am using both hcfr and calman.

how do you do it?

i just did the isf night and my rgb high and lows were: 3,0,7,-1,0,-1 and i got almost perfect 6500k temp and a gamma of 2.24. i just can't figure out how you get your numbers.

I am really confused here...

Do we all have Kuros with different "pushes" towards green/red/etc...?

I am wondering what to try in terms of settings to get PURE to look most realisitc for me.

I tried D-Nice's updated settings and do admit that they look BETTER than the previous...but still finding a yellowy/greeny push to some skin tones, etc...

I have a HFPM (JUNE BUILD).

Maybe we can get 4 or 5 sets of settings posted on here and be able to try them all to see what suits us best?

i don't remember - i screwed with it for about 4 or 5 hours. started with hdmi 5. the software wasn't as usuer friendly as i had hoped - but it worked. I used color space 2.

found something interesting for isf auto (i duplicated the night settings for auto) and nothing happened regarding the brightness or color until i changed a setting from off to on - can't remember the name of the setting. now isf night is comparable to performance and auto is comparable to pure. then duplacated them for hdmi 4. still can't figure out how to make the cms better - only ones i found that were changeable were yellow and magenta - the rest were pretty much unchangeable - green is a little high but with in tolerance (under delta-e of 5) - the real problem is magenta with a delta-e of about 14.

also - i tried the 9 point gamma - it was worthless for me - started at 10 then aborted that and started at 20 - the high end was easy, but low end (below 50) was a nightmare. finally i just made sure they were all set to rgb of 0,0,0. and the gamma came out pretty good

Noob here. If one was to use the ControlCal settings should we then leave the user adjustable settings at their original positions. Like tint, color etc.?

Thank you D-Nice.

Oh, so does it open up new modes to use? It would add ISF Day, Night and Auto alongside Pure, Standard etc?
