Hi,

Would love to have mine calibrated.

I've had a quote from Julian which is very reasonable considering his travelling.

I don't know of anyone in Central Scotland who does calibration?

Hoping my cousin will want his done so we can spread the cost between two of us and make it worthwhile for Julian to travel.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

Might be your camera, but the skin colour looks very white to me? Nice THX ornament though!

 

[john1000000boy]

Liking the thx ornament too!!

pictures are great!!

when are you going to get those cables hanging down the side sorted out though!!??

:cheers: Yeah the whites are very white, that's how it was calibrated. Without knowing too much about the process I think it was something to do with the greyscale, which is made up of the whites and blacks (I think). It could also be the film and the pictures I have chosen. But, yeah the whites are very white but that is a sign the calibration has been done well though (I think).

When Jules describe the process of the calibration he said the whites was the most important colour and then the other colours are accurate (again I think that's what he said).

I got two more which I took yesterday I will upload.

It's the way the HDMI inputs are situated. I'm not sure I can do much about it. Any ideas? :?

 

[VoodooDoctor]

You can get HDMI right angle adapters. That might help keep them tucked around the back.

Didn't know about them - cheers!

Just make sure you get the bend the right way otherwise they'll stick out even more!

Gel - an accurate greyscale gives an accurate white - so aligning the RBG's through from black to white.

The reason the whites are bright is to do with the amount of contrast - that is the intensity/ luminance of the white.

THX will aim to set the contrast to a certain level for daytime and nightime - however there is no set rule here - there is no right and wrong.

Personally I found 2 things - high contrast gives the image a lot of zing and pop which is no doubt good - things stand out more with more clean cut edges - however the trade off is the whites in certain scenes are very bright / overstaurated - scenes in Masterchef for example the white coats they wear are savage white and dont look right - this is to me

The second I found is that sometimes even though the image can be more 3D sometimes things look stuck on - this I found has more to do with the gamma - the higher the contrast the more it bleaches (increases) the higher ire of the gamma.

On older TV's with no 10 point gamma controls like my LX5090 you either had an non flat gamma and high contrast or you had the sweetspot contrast and as flat as possible gamma.

Are you sure the SKIN colour looks white? To me, it looks as if your camera took light readings from the dark areas and overexposed the skin colour, making it look whiter. A white skin colour of that magnitude is not accurate for that picture.

 

[ellisdj]

Thats the photos making that look like that - overexposure on the camera

Skin tones look perfect to me, it was something Jules pointed out to me before and after calibration. Before people could've had a red tinge to them and then after they were more natural. I did notice my iPhone 4S was quite bright on the whites the other day!

Yup.
