TV Calibration

[admin_exported]

I understand that prior to testing your TV's you get the best out of them by calibrate them. Althougth the purpose of calibrating these tv's is address any variables in the manufacture of the screen.

There are THX calibration readily discs available, the glasses for conducting any Hue and Tint glases are not unless you pay for them on the THX website with suspect shipping prices. Does anyone know of a UK supplier for these glasses.

I own a 40NX713 tv with the dedicated sound bar which put puts the tv sound into another league. I would be grateful if you can please put your calibration settings on this forum.

THX shipping prices aren't suspect, they're just wrong. See this thread.

You can order the glasses from the THX website. I think they cost about $2 plus $5 shipping (as professorhat says, there's a glitch on the site which quotes an absurdly high shipping fee, but this is amended when you buy). And for instructions on how to calibrate your TV, read our THX blog.

Andy,

Thank you, I go ahead and buy a pair.

The THX calibration is not an issue, I really talking about white balance which I believed you need calibration equipment. What I really asking for is, what white balance setting (gain & balance) are used on the 40NX713 TV when you calibrated your TV for your evaluation. Also what settings do you recommend for Gama, Dynamic Control etc.

It might be a good idea to do full feature rather than a single page in your magazine, on getting the best on of your tv. Perhaps provide a benchmark list of all the picture setting on your most popular 5star tv's for your readers.

Best Regards

Hugh

If WHSAV were to publish the settings they found for optimum proformance they would not be right for your TV, each pannel is differant for starters then there is other factors such as differant Blu-Ray players, cables and viewing conditions etc etc.

The only way to correctly adjust the grey scale( white ballance) on you TV is to either invest in a colormiter/sensor like the Eye-One or Spyder3 and do it for yourself, or pay for a Pro calibrator to do it for you.

I did mine myself and got very good results over the factory default settings. My results etc can be found HERE

All true

But id still be interested in ALL settings on a tv

They could set up a seperate section on the forums just for different settings (tvs, amps etc)
