I calibrated my AE200 using Video Essentials. Here is what I got:

• Contrast = 0
• Bright = 0
• Color = -5
• Tint = +2
• Sharpness = 0

Has anyone else calibrated using a test disc? Are your settings similar?

Hi,


Yes, I used the Sound & Vision calibration disc, but I'm having a REAL tough time getting a good calibratiion - meaning that after calibrating and watch some DVDs, the overall look just seems off to me. I always end up tweaking it by eye, and I do get similar settings as you've gotten,


Color: Always between -4 and -6

Tint: Usually between 0-3

Sharpness: 0 or -1

Brightness: I fluctuate on this one, anywhere from -5 on Phantom Menace to +2 on LOTR...this is a tough one for me for some reason - I'll try your settings tonight. (Same deal with contrast as brightness, varies by quite a bit...)


I guess I tend to have some weird aversion towards tweaking the settings at the arrows of "default" on the AE200's different parameters - maybe I think, "Heck, the default can't be right, it's gotta be more or less!" Maybe the AE200 is better out of the box than I predicted, maybe going with some of the default settings (especially with the non-color settings) wouldn't be so bad...


I'd be interested in what some other AE200 owners have to say about their settings, and since I'm going through component on a prog. scan DVD player, I can't adjust the RGB settings

do you by any chance know if these settings should also apply to panasonic pt-L200U ?


i've read somewhere that the L200u and the ae200 are different machines, if so, then has anyone tried to calibrate the L200U? what are your settings?


thank you

What picture mode are you using for those settings? I have mine similar as yours but using Cinema 2 currently.

I have calibrated my PT-L200U using AVIA:


Mode -- Cinema 1

Contrast -- -1

Brightness -- +1

Color -- 0

Tint -- +2

Sharpness -- 0

Color temperature -- 0 for color sources, 2 for B&W sources


My Panasonic RP-91 DVD player is sending a progressive scan signal through component cables. It has a setting for LCD FP.


Even with the factory presets the PQ is excellent, but these settings seem to help with shadow detail. I am using a Da-Lite matte white 16:9 78" diag. screen in a room with good light control.
