Hello guys,
I've been reading quite a lot about color calibration for htpc (gaming/tv/video) for some month now and I still haven't found a definitive solution.
So, currently, I have an HTPC running a Sandy Bridge i5 2500k. The GPU being used is the onboard intel (may be changing to an old Radeon 7970 soon). The system is running as a 24/7 set top box for movies, tv shows, etc, using Kodi (xbmc).
My question is simple, do you guys know the best settings for the Graphics Card Driver, Kodi and TV? I mean, which color ranges should I be using on each one of them? I want the best video quality possible but occasionally use the browser and windows stuff, so, if I could have a calibration and setting or both things would be great. This setup also runs some games (using steam) from time to time and getting the best color would be awesome.
I will be using the HD709 disc found on the forums for the calibration itself, I am just unsure on what is the best color ranges for my setup, as there are at least 3 places where I have to set it up.
Hopefully, some of the expert guys here on the forums will give me a much needed hand (it's driving me nuts this whole "get it right" htpc stuff
).
Thanks in advance!
