Major Changes In Brightness Levels:

Greetings Colleagues,

Brightness levels changed per DVE pluge pattern. Per some members in this forum, AVS 709 brightness patterns are wrong. Below settings were adjusted using DVE pluge pattern for 2% bar barely noticeable. To me, picture pops out better. All Gamma settings changed. Some contrast levels changed to avoid tinting. Some Cell light settings changed.

Average measured gamma levels from 2.3 to 2.4. Make sure your input signal is set to 1080i.

Vincent,

I just wanted to thank you for taking all this time and effort.

I have the 63B590 and been using your settings. Every time you post a new combo I try it and my picture just keeps getting better!

I, for one, really appreciate you doing this!

Bookworm,

It's a work in progress. I keep reading parts of the AVS Forum and get recommendations/suggestions from others to try in this thread. The last one was very controversial, whether to use the DVE or AVS 709 brightness patterns. One member was adamant that the DVE was the correct disk to use for brightness. It appears that he was correct. The AVS 709 does have its advantages though, e.g., the small apl calibration patterns for greyscale.

The change in brightness levels should improve the pictures by increased static contrast ratios, etc. I think that I may be near the end in making changes to this model, but I have said this before. If I get any more recommendations/suggestions, you will definitely see them in this thread.

Vincentfam

As always vincet, I love the updated settings. Just put them into my set and could almost see an immediate change in the picture and a very good change.

LD,

The AVS Forum member recommended the 2% technique to add more depth to the picture. This is actually Curt Palme's recommendation in the Calibration for Dummies website. I guess I just forgot about the fundamentals recommended by Palme.

These new settings are also set with measured gamma levels above 2.3 for dark room viewing. If you have a brighter room, such as a family room with many windows, measured gamma levels probably need to be lowered to 2.2 to provide a brighter picture.

Glad you like the settings. Now I have to go over to my mother in law's house to calibrate her new insignia lcd tv. I purchased this tv for her and I am still not the best favored son in law. Some things never change.

Preliminary Conclusions Using Window Patterns:

Greetings,

I have been advised that the costomary wisdom is to calibrate with regular patterns instead of small apl patterns. A calibration using reg patterns revealed the small apl pattern settings to be way off for average gamma levels. It appears to be a substantial difference between using regular and small apl patterns. To resolve this issue, I am in the process of calibrating all modes using regular window patterns with the adjusted brightness levels using DVE pluge pattern. Settings will be posted around 9 pm central time. After posting, it is recommended that you chose which settings that you prefer.

Here are my preliminary settings for component modes:

Settings Using Regular Window Patterns and New Brightness Settings:

Just a note that calibration using regular windows revealed small apl settings around 2.1 measure gamma levels, which may have mad the colors flatter. The below settings average around 2.3 to 2.4 gamma levels with hdmi settings pretty flat measured gamma.

I think that the standard hdmi setting looks best.

A Calibration Dilemma:

The small apl settings actually have a 2.1 measured gamma using regular window patterns, but it dives to gamma 1.8 on the graph between 50% to 100% ire. These settings can be corrected to a flatter 2.1+ measured gamma using regular window patterns. These settings are for brighter rooms.

The regular window settings, especially for hdmi, have a really flat measured gamma of about 2.3. These settings (usually for dark room environments) can be possibly increased to 2.4 gamma with a change in the service menu gamma setting to M1, which means minus one.

Which do you believe look better? small apl settings vs regular windows?

Edit: I am going to calibrate with the new Gamut Calibration Disk recently created in this forum.

Vincentfam
Edited by vincentfam - 7/8/12 at 5:42pm

I think I'll hold off making any changes until you've posted your newest settings then vincet. I was going to make the most recent changes you provided but will hold off. I'm more then pleased with the current picture BTW how did the calibration go on the mother-in-laws set?

With these two sets of settings, there are two things going on.

First, a low gamma of 2.2 (which is commonly recommended) decreases the color saturation a little but provides a brighter picture and better details in dark areas, especially when using the DVE technique for adjusting brightness. A higher gamma around 2.4 (good for dim lighting viewing environments) provides a darker picture and has less detail in dark areas.

Second, if the above is true, then I will use regular window patterns to adjust the apl settings to an actual lower level gamma measurement around 2.2 for better detail. A recent forum post recommended using "10% windows" from a new gamut calibration disk. Trusted forum colleagues recommend these 10% windows for realistic calibrations for plasma tvs.

If the apl settings are preferred, then I will focus on obtaining lower level gamma measurements @ 2.2 with the 10% windows.

As for my mother in law, I ordered a surge protector from monoprice and will calibrate her insignia lcd tv when the surge protector arrives in the mail. I will be using an old avia dvd calibration disk to adjust color, contrast and brightness on her tv. Nothing complicated like gamma or rgb adjustments. After all, she is just my mother in law.

Update: Good news/ Bad news. Bad: It appears that the download in this forum for the new gamut disk has been terminated due to potential copyright infringement. More Update: the down load for the new gamut disk has been posted - apparently no copyright concerns. Good news: Forum members indicate that a 2.3 or 2.4 setting for small apl patterns is in reality a differently measured gamma. Therefore, tonight I am going to try to perfect the apl settings for flatter gamma. Also I will post one of the regular window patterns' hdmi gamma curve to let you see how flat the curve is. I think that the apl settings look the best.

Vincentfam
Edited by vincentfam - 7/19/12 at 10:42am

I like detail, always have so for that reason I always try using settings you post with a lower gamma measurement. I've tried the higher ones and I think they look great but I can see that the detail level isn't quite the same. But that doesn't mean I'm not up for trying some settings with a higher gamma

I too have an order into monoprice, just some cables and such that I need to move my project along some. Still need to get the rest of the shelves I need for my rack, just haven't gotten them yet. My in-laws just recently got their first lcd as well, my father-in-law is looking for surround sound now so I'm sure I'll be getting involved with that soon enough. He doesn't want anything too crazy just better sound so it won't be too bad.

Updated Small APL Settings:

Here are the tweaked small apl pattern settings, using the DVE brightness disk. Make sure your input signal is at 1080i and your tv picture is on screen fit. I tried a lower gamma setting but the picture looked too pale. This weekend I am going to try to decrease the gamma settings by one notch to see how that looks and will post them if the picture quality is improved.

Preferred Settings:

I believe that the settings under the title Major Changes in Brightness Levels, using DVE brightness techniques and small apl patterns, appear to be the best settings. I have tweaked the standard hdmi settings below and included rgb and gamma level graphs. In the future, I will probably tweak the standard component settings and change the gamma setting in the movie modes (hdmi and component) to see if that impacts picture quality.

Final Tweaked Small Apl/DVE Brightness Settings:

Greetings Colleagues,

I think I have found the final solution to calibrating this hdtv. I used the small apl patterns to have level gamma measurements. Also, and this is new, I used DVE disk's pluge pattern and adjusted brightness' +2% bar "two notches above invisible." Some contrast settings were adjusted to achieve proper brightness settings. I think the component settings look better than hdmi settings.

You may ask why some settings are adjusted slightly while others substantially change. In the calibration world, when you adjust one setting, such as contrast, white balance, or brightness, other settings may change either slightly or substantially.

Possibly Better Movie Settings:

I have adjusted the brightness of the recent movie settings. Standard settings appear to have the correct brightness settings. I have been reviewing many comments regarding how to set the brightness level, etc. Some comments suggest AVS HD 709 clipping pattern should be used and brightness set at 17, while others say that this is wrong. Then I ran across the comments that may be made by a supporter of the AVS HD 709 disk:

This comment appears to concede that a setting of "17" may be too low for a brightness setting, and that a setting near 19 may be appropriate.

Herein are the updated movie settings which have brightness levels set near 19/20 on the AVS HD 709 clipping (brightness) pattern: Sharpness Updated. Settings Updated for black level @ 21.

I'll try then out sometime tonight.

Wow, you've been a busy bee, Vincentfam! Thanks for continuously posting your updates.

Greetings once again Colleagues,

I hope that you like the most recent settings. If I think of any thing else, I will post it. Remember a few things: Your signal input should be 1080i, unless it's OTA; and computer and tv inputs should use component settings.

In August/September, I will be ordering an new colorimeter for fresher measurements. I think that my 2 and 1/2 year old colorimeter may have "drifted" a little [actually, it is just over one year old and appears to be okay - I may just get a colormunki soon just for the heck of it]. Check back then for updated settings.

Until . . .

The VGA Computer Input Calibrations:

Greetings,

I have located in the house a vga cable and a computer with vga interface. The AVIA II calibration disk plays in this computer. Tomorrow I will connect everything up to see if I can obtain some useful settings for the tv's vga computer input. Keep in mind some forum members do not prefer calibration with the Avia II disk.

Vincentfam

The Prelude to Computer Settings:

Greetings,

I will try to calibrate the PC settings tonight. But, after reading a lot of materials regarding the PC input, using the tv as a computer display heavily depends upon your computer's software. In using the PC input, the materials suggest that you have to set the resolution and the refresh rate.

The TV's manual, for Windows XP users, states to set the resolution:

1. Click on Control Panel on the start menu.

2. Control panel appears, click on Appearance and Themes.

3. A display dialog-box appears, click on Display.

4. A display dialog-box appears, navigate to Settings tab. Optimum setting for PN50B450 is 1360x768 pixels; for PN42B450 is 1024x768 pixels. For other models, see your manual.

For refresh rate:

5. Under the settings tab, click the advanced button, then click monitor tab.

6. In the monitor settings area, click screen refresh rate drop down and select 60 hz and click OK, which the manual states is the correct value for the 42" and 50" models.

Additionally, and you may already know this, the tv's menu has other adjustments in setting up the tv with the PC input, such as auto adjustment, screen, coarse, etc. Read your manual for further details.

The First (and my last) Computer VGA Input Settings:

Per Request, herein are the pc input settings with rgb and gamma graphs attached. Cell light had to be 4 or below to level out the gamma curve.
An increase in cell light produced an inconsistent gamma curve. Could not adjust for sharpness, color, and tint as options were not available.
Advanced settings were limited to gamma and white balance only. Picture options were limited to color tone and size.

Windows 7 automatically sets the correct resolution and frequency. The auto adjustment option only available for this input centered the computer
screen. Attempted to use the "Screen" options for defacto sharpness but they appeared to be ineffective.

During the calibrations, it appears that automatic brightness limiter (abl) affected the measurements. On the 90 and 100 ire, three white bars appeared on the
right side of the patterns for some unknown reason, This may have had some impact on measurements as well. These patterns aren't my favorite but this is the only dvd calibration disk that I have.

Gamma Curve is flat between 30 and 80 ire, and rgb levels are consistent for standard mode. To sharpen picture further or change colors, you may have to use screen options and computer software options, respectively.

Tentative GCD Calibration Settings/Standard HDMI

Greetings Colleagues:

Herein are tentative gamut calibration disk settings for Standard mode/hdmi, using GCD's recommended 10% Windows 22% APL patterns.
Initial gamma measurements using these patterns for the most recent settings (using small apl windows) made the gamma curve look like a
sinusoidal wave. Took some time to adjust the settings to obtain a flat gamma curve, with some major changes to some of the settings, like gamma to -2.

The gamma graph and rgb graph are attached for your convenience. Let me know if you think that the picture quality improved or not. Still adjusting the movie settings for hdmi, but it doesn't appear that there were significant changes from the small apl windows settings. Next will be adjustments for the component settings. Shortly I will be getting a colormunki colorimeter for future calibrations.

Thanks for the VGA settings Vincent. I have no other settings for using the VGA connector and will give them a shot As I mentioned in my email to you, I feel that using the VGA connector eliminates the variations in the A/D converters from using a huge variety of PC video VGA to HDMI output cards, whereas the one ADC in the Sammy should be of uniform quality and likely extremely good quality to boot...

I wonder a little about the convergence of your color settings and the variations in the curves; I thought the curves should all lie on top of one another so they could be equal in intensity, etc.

I refer to the information originally posted back in 2010 by mac4ps: post #1029 of 1315 which shows the colour curves etc all on top of one another. My set was calibrated to his internal control panel settings (admittedly that involved hacking into the control panel....) But the settings in the control panel were so astounding that my are just subtle easy changes.

TaichiKid,

The posted settings for vga input are for the standard mode instead of the movie mode, which is a little darker. The calibration for the movie mode settings has all colors level at 100%. The calibration process is difficult and time consuming. But if you want the movie mode settings, just let me know.

The Colormunki Calibrations Soon:

Greetings Colleagues,

I have successfully downloaded and tested the new free HCFR 3.0.4 calibration software, with the assistance of forum members. The colormunki hardware will be ordered shortly. Things may improve.
