PS3's upscaling is the best (most forgiving, little ringing) among the devices you listed. Warmest regards Vincent

@strapped for cash: Yes, the LG 980 sample I reviewed calibrated far better than the 9300 that David reviewed - I believe THX's certification which is awarded to the 980 but not the 9300 played a major role in the former's out-of-the-box accuracy and calibration friendliness. Warmest regards...

Thanks ellisdj and Series1boy for your votes of confidence, but Jules is a good calibrator. One thing I will point out though is that the report (quoted by strapped for cash) of Jules calibrating an LG 980W OLED indicates that he was calibrating through an external colour processor (Lumagen...

Hey don't worry about it... you don't know how many companies send me stuff labelled "FAO Vincent Tech". :) For calibration, I bring along Casino Royale and The Dark Knight (IMAX sequences only) for a few reasons: - Familiarity: these discs have been around a long time, and I've been using...

I'm with ellisdj and bigboss: Pacific Rim is a reference-level demo disc for both picture and sound. @Son_of_SJ: Pacific Rim is one of the best post-converted 3D I've seen, right up there with Avengers. I usually bring along a copy to demo after I calibrate 3D for clients. :) Warmest regards...

Yes, that's correct. Obviously this is from a windowed pattern rather than full-field. If a plasma can do even 120 cd/m2 full-field I'd like to see it! :rofl:

Yes, the Samsung UE65HU8500 is quite fabulous. Obviously its black level won't compare to a Panasonic plasma, but for an LED LCD, especially a curved one, it's actually decent. Talking about Panasonic plasma, here's a 50VT65 I calibrated over the weekend: The living room was sunlit and very...

Yes, you're right. I was referring to the soundbar beneath the TV... sorry my photo didn't show it up very well.

Calibrated this wall-mounted Samsung UE65HU8500 the other night. Lovely set-up with Monitor Audio's ASB-2 soundbar.

Not a silly question: unless you've experienced a proper calibration process, it's not easy to know what it entails. In recent years, TV manufacturers have catered to the demands of video enthusiasts, and gradually increased the number of picture-affecting controls in the user menu, which in...

No problem, not many people know that either. :)

Retailers were getting lots of customer returns on those super-slim Samsung edge LED TVs due to uneven backlight, so the Korean manufacturer had to do something. They increased the chassis depth, and relocated the heat-generating components on the panel into as small a surface area as possible...

Hey guys Interesting discussion. I probably best chime in since it's my quote being discussed. ellisdj, your CalMAN screenshot just proved my point... you're actually not getting 2.4 gamma at the top end. Because there wasn't any finer marker, I opened it in Photoshop, and measured the...

Hi guys First post here. I asked WHF's Reviews Editor Andy Madden during a press trip whether I can contribute here, and he said yes, though we both might have been under the influence of alcohol. :cheers: Please let me know if I'm breaking the rules. ellisdj and Oldboy are correct - it's...
