Don't tell me I did it wrong, because I just put it all back together and hung it back up. That thing is incredibly difficult to ceiling mount by myself.
Zombie,I took the cover off and put up the white test pattern like you advised. Then I adjusted the screws until HCFR looked like this:
Not in my experience.Zombie,
is there a way to eyeball you dial adjustment and be accurate, more than it is presently?
I’m going to have an ISF guy come and calibrate my X790. Would he balk at doing the dial thing on the 750 as you have described the process? He Is very experienced.I definitely would not try to eyeball it. a small change of any of the 3 dials and things can go south quickly without access to an accurate colorimeter.
Its not really hard specially for someone who is a pro calibrator, you can do it yourself though, but u need a meter to dial it perfectly.I’m going to have an ISF guy come and calibrate my X790.

let the calibrator know these are not traditional RGB controls. They behave more like tint/hue controls and recommend a very small turn of each dial to get an understanding where the color shift is occurring while watching the results in real time using the colorimeter's output.I’m going to have an ISF guy come and calibrate my X790.

It completely disappeared after that fix ? No more color shifts with the dimming ?let the calibrator know these are not traditional RGB controls.

Once corrected and RGB gains in the menu are back at 0 0 0, it does make a big impact on the color shift when using the LED dimming.

hi, I think it's going to vary from projector to projector depending on how they set it at the factory. This 750 had a very noticeable red shift even when not using the LED dimming. I could bring down the blue / green gains in the menu but it cost too much light output when it's already limited to begin with and also still had the shift with the dimming. I think it's a software bug and when corrected at the hardware level and the gains zero'd out it's now well behaved during the dimming.It completely disappeared after that fix ? No more color shifts with the dimming ?
Makes you wonder why keep it like that if its easily fixed.
I tried to do the same for my m150 but it requires disassembling the whole thing to access the sensor and i dont trust myself reassembling it correctly lol.
I wanted to ask you, what is the color extension you're getting from your Mico and at what lumen output?let the calibrator know these are not traditional RGB controls.

hi, I just picked up a new i1Pro2 and going to do a full recal + 3D lut for the Mico 50. I'll post the info as soon as I have the results.I wanted to ask you, what is the color extension you're getting from your Mico and at what lumen output?
Provided he can access it and has the right size flat-head screwdriver, he shouldn't have too much trouble? But like zombie says, it's not your typical controls. There seem to be threshholds that throw the entire balance way off once you pass them.I’m going to have an ISF guy come and calibrate my X790.

I talked to the calibrator about this. His first thoughts were not very positive. He is a well known industry guy and teaches for ISF, so I think he is in tune with the technologies. I’m not sue I will actually have him work on the 750 as the picture is excellent, thanks to some suggestions by Brian, and the only issue is a possible perceived red shift after some time has elapsed viewing.Provided he can access it and has the right size flat-head screwdriver, he shouldn't have too much trouble?

I'm not exactly sure how it works... but I just went back and redid it because the luminance levels weren't where I felt they should be. By carefully adjusted these little screws, I was able to raise the measured brightness back up by over 20%. The only advice I could give is to make sure you are doing very, very minor turns of each color, one at a time. Super minor turns, and then waiting several moments for it to adjust. On mine, each one seemed to have a point of no return, almost, where just one more tiny turn would send the balance way out in that direction. When I first did it, I turned the first one too far and the LEDs just shut off completely... but then turned back on once I turned it back.
I've labelled zombie's picture to show which screws control which color (at least, on mine). When looking at it from the same angle as the picture, counterclockwise increases the color and clockwise decreases it.
haha, you didn't ruin it, quite the opposite. You fixed a problem and tuning that sensor to D65 resolved a 10 year old issue. Look up any discussion on the 750 -- color shift with the LED dimming is usually mentioned. no solutions until I stumbled upon it earlier this year.Like did he explain that I just ruined my projector, or?
for SDR content, I would just set the gamma to 2.2, primaries to AUTO, white point to D65 and dynamic black on.I thinking about resetting my Mico 50, and redoing it for a demo........what's the best settings to show it off with just what's on board? Mind you it's going to be on a 103" dia. scope screen with a 1.1 gain.
