Hey guys this is the first time I have posted a forum on this site, so I don't know if this is the correct section to post it in.
I have a PS3 and a Samsung LN40a650 LCD HDTV and I was trying to calibrate it with my DVE Blu ray calibration and I am confused as to what settings I should use for my PS3 for gaming and movies. I have heard that YCb is the best for movies with super white on. And that RGB is used for gaming but I can't figure out whether I should use Limited or Full because when I set it to Full on the PS3, the grayscale on the calibration disc is the same as YCb except for the last bars on the white and black side are clipped. But they look identical and when I play movies on RGB FULL they look the same. But if I set it to RGB limited, the grayscale gets bright and blacks look gray and the last two bars are still clipped. And I have read from experts that you are supposed to use RGB limited for games but I also have downloaded some HD movie trailers on Playstation Network and when I set it RGB limited the picture looks washed out and has gray black. The trailers I think use RGB by default so I can't set it to YCb. So if I use RGB Full the trailers look much better and the blacks are black. SO if set it to RGB full for games and trailers and YCb for movies, the calibration from the disc equals the same (which is also close to CNET calibration for this TV). But if I use Limited and then do the Calibration results are completely different and not close the CNET calibration. So if I am supposed to use limited for games and YCb with Superwhite On for movies, I would have to change the settings each time I switch between playing a game or movie. So should I just leave it on RGB full for games or is there something that I am missing. By the way I am using and HDMI cable.
To summarize
YCb with superwhite on = RGB full in calibration settings (close to CNET) – movies and trailers look identical in both modes
The above setting make RGB limited look washed out with gray blacks. When you calibrate these settings it does not equal to the calibration of YPB and it makes way dark on the grayscale and movies have black crush on them.
So what is the best option because I keep hearing you are supposed to use RGB limited for games but for me that would mean I would have to change the settings when I switch between movies and games.
PLEASE HELP!
