I heard there's some kind of code on Sony BD movies that bring up a test menu? Is this true? What's the code? Thanks.

What is the proper way to adjust brightness using the test patterns? Should one be using the color bar pattern or the greyfield screen? I used the greyfield screen to raise the brightness till all steps of gray were visible. Thanks

If you have a ps3 and don't have the remote, you can't do this with the controller. So, i'm out of luck..

You can use the controller, that is how I did it...

Could you please elaborate how? That interests me -- and probably a lot of other people too.

That is so cool!


Is there anywhere that discusses the sections of the pattern screen (screen 2)?

Once you're at the disc menu press the green Triangle symbol. This will give you the necessary extra "buttons".

if you are gonna use your ps3 as a blu ray machine, you should get the remote for sure. Makes everything so much easier.

I was able to punch in the code and then I hit "enter". Nothing happened. The disc I was using was Underworld Evolution. Do this at the main menu, right? I couldn't get it to work.

Click this post post for links on setting your gray scale.


The black to white (linear or step ramp) test pane is for checking your gray scale tracking. Do not use it for Black (Brightness) & White (Contrast) level adjustments, use the color bar test pane for that.

I was able to access this but have no clue in how to use it...can someone point me in the right direction??


TIA

Thank you very much. Finally, I can get the brightness dialed in properly.

Has to be a Sony movie...i.e. Talledaga Nights...Underworld Evolution....


btw can anyone explain what to do at each screen in laymens terms?? I am so new to this and anyone who could break it down to the littlest bit would greatly help me..

 

[dpags]

Gonna have to give this another shot. I had no luck last time I tried to get to it.

 

[Dot50Cal]

BHD worked for me.

 

[dazz87]

how did you get it to work dot50cal? Was it at the title menu? I have a couple of other Sony titles that I will try tonight

Actually, I kinda like how easy the PS3 controller is with Blu ray playback. The last thing I need is another remote on my coffee table.
