I recently purchased DVE: HD Basics on Blu ray to "calibrate" my Samsung LN32A450. I must say that this TV is pretty damn nice for the money. Anyway, the source is coming from my PS3. I have four questions:
1) What is the use of the red and green filters? I am assuming to check color accuracy when used with the color test pattern. If so, next question is related.
2) When viewing the color test pattern (the one most typically used with the blue filter) with the green filter, my green looks off. How can I fix this? Do I adjust the white color? However, when color is adjusted using the blue filter, my reds look accurate when viewing the pattern through the red filter.
3) I can't seem to get the contrast setting correct. After adjust the black level correctly, even with the contrast level at maximum, I cannot get the whitest white to start to bleed/blend into the next level darker.
4) How do I adjust the other settings like adjusting white color (RBG gains and offsets), Gamma, DNIe, Dynamic contrast (hi/med/low/off), all the individual color settings, etc. DVE:HD Basics does a good job covering the basics (namely contrast, brightness, sharpness, and color), but fails to go into detail about other settings.
I really want to get as much as I can out of the provided test patterns. If there are more intermediate or advance ways to use any of the test patterns provided on DVE:HD Basics, please let me know.
I hope to receive some useful replies. Thank you in advance.
