Just been reading and laughing at the posts referencing the calibrations perfomed by a certain calibrator over on AVF. He and others are seriously showing pictures of calibrations of there TV's as examples of how good they look when it's been performed. Now as a bit of a Christmas quiz.............can anyone tell me what is wrong with these statements (pictures)?

Me? I've never been interested in pictures of TV screens. Commenting on calibration by phone pictures is like commenting on audio quality via telephone.chebby said:
Bigboss is right of course. I can not understand how people can comment on PQ when they are viewing a picture of a TV screen viewed more often than not on a monitor and taken with who knows what equipment? LOL. Yet this is excactly what some of the guys on AVF are doing???
If you search the various OLED threads you will see it's quite common.................
PS
I have reported to mods etc on more than one occasion regarding not being able to link on here but had no reply?

LG 950V Owners thead post 10233 for only one of many samples. Then you get a guy replying that it is a fantastic calibration from looking at the pictures.
I don't see the beef some people have with this, if you want to take a pic of your TV nothing wrong with that.
People make other all sorts of wild claims on forums and it's up to the individual to listen or not - this is no different

Agreed. You could see that mine wasn't calibrated. And that the whites are strong which they are.ellisdj said:
I think you can see a lot. Although I don't think mine gets the credit it deserves. *smile*
Sure the tv us good gel but your pictures are not the best mate.
You need to pause things for starters and push down on the remote to remove the pause bar.
Cam will always struggle to snap a really dark image without making it look all digitised and cack. Your better leaving them out

Yep. And it's not as if other people are posting great dark pictures either - it's hard.ellisdj said:

Of course we can take pics of TV's but in know way can people judge or compare PQ using this method. They are judging the photograph not the TV.
I think they are cool!
