Partly based on the review of What HiFi I bought the Philips 42PFL9664. A great tv but it is described as difficult to calibrate which I found to be true. With the help of material like THX optimizer and blue glasses I calibrated contrast, brightness and colour. The picture now looks better. But how do I find the right settings for the white balance (red, green, blue levels and black level offset?) For example; I now have a greenish tint in the darker grey parts which I find hard to get rid of. How do I calibrate this to the max as an amateur?
Settings appear to be different for each connection. So it's possible to callibrate the settings for the HDD-recorder apart from my digital TV settop box and my laptop. But only with the hdd-recorder I can play calibration material (THX DVD). Should I calibrate using the DVD and then copy these settings to the other ports? I could then calibrate my laptop (macbook) to these settings with the built in calibration tool of OSX right?
