I only have the TV

Thanks

After reading this entire thread ovefr the past three days, I have deiced that Skibum's and Buzzards input havce been invaluable. My only problem is deciding what the current setting either one of them have at this point. I updated my software to the latest 1006.

I am currently using Skibum's settings from the Summer of 2010, but I am intrigued by Buzzard's settings because we have the exact TV.

The only reason why I want to change the settings, is becausew the TV actually looked too real...like live TV from a camcorder. I dont know if that makes sense, but does anyone have the latest settings for this TV?

Preferably with wonderful documentation like Skibum...

I would surely love to heaser from Buzzard or at least a link to the right post.

Thank you all for your patience.

I've tried this setting and I admit, it is nice. My tv is in a dimly lit room in a basement. Honestly though, I do like it still on Natural setting. This seems more agreeable to me for movies and television. And I love the 'POP' you get. 'Movie' mode still seems to me to dbe too dingy and dirty.

The calibration report clearly shows red, green, and thus the secondary yellow slightly undersaturated. This is due to limitations of the TV itself. All of the hues are very close and this is more important than saturation.

As always, be reminded that using calibration numbers from sets other than your own seldom comes close to the same result on YOUR display. TV manufacturers don't exactly buy military spec components and that is but one of the reasons why calibration is required.

How do you think these settings would work out on my LN55C630K1F?

This seems to give the truest black level. HOWEVER, at this level the blacks are crushed and dark scenes look too dim. I tried to compensate for this by upping the first of the 10 point white balance point and raising the gamma by one. This does help the dim scenes, now it doesn't look right. I have also tried raising the brightness from anywhere from 46-48. Black level suffers a bit, but the overall picture seems better. I mostly notice the higher black level in black bars, not within the picture itself. However, there are some scenes that are mostly black and then it doesn't look black.

I see you have your brightness set at 48 and then you *lower* the first of the custom 10 pt white balance? Should I just try these setting on my TV?

Is this all just a compromise between absolute black levels and black crush?

Good observation and here's the answer. If you look at my previous calibration you'll see that brightness was set at 46. That is because it was a set up for night viewing. Brightness is the one setting that is always accomplished by eye. The new calibration is for daytime viewing and the brightness had to be turned up a couple of clicks in order to see level 17 (just above black). Unfortunately this obviously raises black level which lowers contrast (by a lot) and overall picture quality suffers but this is a sacrifice required to see detail in the dark areas.

The viewing room itself is a part of calibration. If you can't have it totally light controlled you have to make compromises in other areas and you'll lose a bit of picture quality. I can expound on this if you'd like.

I don't understand what you are asking about the 10 point grayscale. The numbers are the result of meter readings, nothing more. These are the settings I needed to make to get the desired result. Edit: Gamma setting was +1. now it's 0. This is why the big difference in 10 pt. settings.

Hope that helps.

Also, sometimes I notice a TV show or movie is too dark to see much (wife even complains). Do you ever make adjustments based on the content? My solution is to bump up the gamma a point or two.

I am a bit puzzled with all of this


10 Pt white balance on
1) R -3, G -4, B -5
2) R -2, G -4, B -4
3) R -3, G -3, B -3
4) R -1, G -3, B -2
5) R -1, G -3, B 0
6) R -2, G -3, B 0
7) R -1, G -3, B 0
8) R -1, G 0 B 0
9) R 1, G 0, B 2
10) R 1, G 0, B 2

I have the LN55c630K1FXZA VERSION SQ01
and when I come across this settings and turn on the 10 Pt White balance
I only see
Interval 1 to 10 and is at 1
Red
Green
Blue
Reset

And it seems as though there is 10 diff parts to this.. ??

I'm sorry but what am I doing wrong. Also I am not using a fancy program for this, I am doing this manually is this the reason?

Click on Interval and you can select from 1 to 10. Each interval has settings for R, G, & B. 10 intervals, 30 individual settings.
