Hi everyone,
I finally want to calibrate my screen and start taking my setup seriously as I've been using it a lot lately and just upgraded my whoel surround sound system. I have an LG 47LE8500, which is a great TV especially after being close to 5 years old now. All my video comes in via my HTPC w/ a GTS450 graphics card. My AVR is between the HTPC and the TV. My main media viewing software is Kodi/XBMC as it feels more set top box'ish, but I'm thinking of using MPC-HC with MadVR soon or the soon to be released Kodi/XBMC DSPlayer breanch with integrated MadVR.
So I've been reading up on calibrating my TV and it seems straight forward but what I don't get is what I should do first in the calibration process. Should I calibrate my TV screen's settings via the AVS 709 pattern disc using my PS3 first and then once the screen is good I should then calibrate it with the HTPC as the source and generate the 3DLut file? Or should I just do everything from the HTPC as the source?
FYI, my friend has a colorimeter I can borrow (he's a hardcore AV guy) and is willing to assit me, but I want to atleast have a basic understanding and try it myself first.
