This is a place to discuss using CalMAN Home for LG
In this document CalMAN Home for LG Walkthrough.
Step 8, is the only choice 'Matrix LUT' for the 3D LUT? Are other choices available?
I am sorry but I don't know anything about LUTs, or any of the terms used in these posts. But I do have a question if I may.
First, is there a FAQ where I can lookup my following questions?
1. I studied the CalMAN Home for LG Walkthrough. Is it correct that my xrite i1 display colorimeter (that I use for my computer display) will work?
2. The specifications tab states that calman will work in "in VMWare Fusion[emoji2400] and Bootcamp[emoji2400] for Mac OS X[emoji2400] users"
But will that work satisfactorily with the USB connection? I know it's a specific matter that not many will encounter but I need to know before hand because I will need to order a VMware + windows license that I cannot return.
3. Regarding the pattern generator: I noticed that 2019 models have a pattern generator built into the TV unit. The separately sold pattern generator is $1500, which is about the cost of the 55 C8. Would you say it's wise to pick the 2019 C9 model over the C8 for this reason alone?
4. Can the calibration process for the C8 be completed without the pattern generator? I may not use HDR anyway. Or am I mixing things up?
Thanks a bunch.
Hi everyone
I just bought this for c9
I was able to add my TV once
Now Everytime I click on find TV
Put ip and the code.
The application just crashes
Support is useless since their mailbox is full
I'm very mad about this.
Hope someone can help
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get help calibrate my c9 with calman home 2019
I calibrated hdr but I can't do dolby vision.
It turned out green after it was done.
It forced me to reset the TV.
Please guide me through It
Thanks
I'm using Calman Home Enthusiast, but same sets as LG Home. I have the C6 1000 meter and am using madvr's pattern generator since I use the HTPC for most viewing anyways and that way I can do HDR easily.
Since I'm Calman Home Enthusiast owner (bummer they did away with it) and use madvr I've been calibrating and then generating a 3D Lut for madvr for many years, however it has always been 3+ hours work twice a year to get it done and normally it got my Deltas to under 2, however using Autocal it took 20 minutes and then 3 hours to wait for the 3D luts (same as if I was doing that part by hand), the end result is with in .25 for Grey and .48 for the 3D Luts, so better quality and easier/faster to run. Simply put I can afford to do it four times a year as I should rather than twice given the time savings.
Since the LG C8 is new I assume I will be doing every other weeks for the next 2 or 3 month until it settles in but given the minimal effort required I see no reason not to do so regularly. I'll be doing HDR10 and SDR for now since Dolby Vision is not possible using my pattern generator and I have nothing that needs it anyways. I have a Vertex, but given that Madvr can switch to HDR for patterns there is no need to use it to force HDR. A standalone pattern generator would be nice, but given the costs 500+, I'll stick with good old madvr which I use anyways for display.

What is Autocal doing?
This is calibrating a OLED C8, notice what happens around 15%:

Up until 15% all is ok, from there on, it is seriously broken!, making Autocal less than useless.
Here is what the pattern looks like at 10% (sorry cell phone), but you can get the idea:

basically anything under 15% is garbage.
Moving to the next step, is thus impossible as the mode (Expert Bright in this case is now trashed unless I reset the DCC.
Now I ran similar ones yesterday without much trouble, but currently Autocal is basically worthless (less so as the result is worse than not using it). I am on 04.10.55 which has a black crush, but that still can not explain Autocal setting 0% or near 0% Blue for one low measurement and red for the next. I tired a manual one at 10%, just to show that it is not the meter.
Now using the same everything but a manual run this is what it looks like. Again sorry for the cell phone pic, but you can get the idea:

10%, 5% and 0%:

So decent. not great, but decent and does not explain why Autocal goes blue/red crazy, it does show the the meter is working however.
So unimpressed right now,

C8 HDR Post calibration, serious loss of details towards black and everything is very-very red. Simply put calibrating using the LG HDR work flow for Technicolor HDR, everything looked good in Calman, but the result is un-viewable, seriously crushed blacks and a massive red tint to everything (in fact uncalibrated game mode is far better), which is surprising as the results are decent for the post calibration check (see attached).
Attached are screenshots of the workflow in calman.
It is hard to get images of the result (tends to brighten up the image from what is really seen) as the cell phone camera is less than perfect, but I tried to get some examples and there included as well.
Thanks,
