Andy Clough or Claire : Please retreive the test/review settings for the SONY 40z4500

[anderc02]

Hi,
This has been floating around this forum for some time , could someone retreive the test settings for the sony 40z4500 ? Not that I am a lemming but a starting point would be great . I think it is something you should consider including in reviews also .

Many thanks

I'll ask the reviewers again.

Settings are extremely dependant on environment therefore any settings published could not be relied upon hence the video on this site on how to calibrate your TV with the THX optimiser

Exactly the somewhat heated conversation that's blatting round the office at this very moment!

Environment conditions such as??

 

[Andrew Everard]

In the case of the THX Optimiser, ambient light in the room, the video quality of the player used, any other video processing in the chain - eg upscaling in AV amp/receiver and so on.

So the specific settings we used for each set would be no more than a snapshot, rather than a definitive guide...

Andrew - Any news on the settings? Thanks

 

[Andrew Everard]

No, 'fraid not.

I don't have the specifics of the other settings to hand, but remember we found setting the MotionFlow 200Hz to standard suited us best - in fact i'm sure we wrote that in the review....

EDIT - indeed we did.

Re brightness, contrast etc, I really would urge you start with the THX Optimiser (preferably with the special glasses if you can get hold of some) and tweak from there to suit
