In short, I don't think there is anywhere near as much to worry about on your TV that a few minutes reading and setting up won't fix. Then you've got equalisation which actually adjusts the frequency output of your speakers to fit. The 'standards' for AV are completely mismatched - accuracy to an original signal on the video side, inaccuracy and imbalance on the audio side (usually in favour of bass and decay timing). I think room lighting will make more difference than settings and even if you got it right you're never sure whether the screen is bright enough.Īdd to that you're not supposed to make even the slightest change on the basic settings, which is like saying you can't adjust the pitch or tone of your audio. I have two presets, one of which is darker for use in the evening, and I still have to adjust the brightness on some days. I don't think there are that many differences between TVs and I don't work for a TV studio, but you've just given one the best reasons against home calibration.

Link to AVS disc if you're interested in doing it properly (the same settings applied to the internal tuner are likely to be much closer than copied settings too):ĪVS HD 709 - Blu-ray, HD DVD, & MP4 Calibration - AVS Forum Sorry if I am being negative after you went to the trouble of posting the link, but I hope you appreciate why it's not the best idea.

It takes all of 5 minutes to adjust the most important controls (brightness and contrast IMHO) using the flashing bars patterns on the AVS disc and that's adjusted to suit the individual set, player and taking the room lighting into account.Ĭopying other's settings especially RGB settings for greyscale is on a par with the lottery.you've got as much chance of ending up with a calibrated set by using them IMHO. The best information might be which colour temp mode is closest to 6500K (as in Sony LCDs typically are closest using the 'Warm 2' mode) and initial settings for main controls, but seeing as many THX discs have the calibration patterns included for basic setup (or you can download the excellent AVS HD 709 disc from AVSForums), then you may as well just run through that. If one TV can change that much just by altering the backlight, imagine how tolerances between different batches of backlights, panels and components could effect the calibration? Out of idle interest I reran the calibration with the backlight changed to a higher setting and found that I would have needed quite different settings for the greyscale to be correct.

I calibrated my Sony LCD with the backlight at my prefered setting (4 out of 10).
