Here are Sydow's instructions: "Adjust contrast so 235 (reference white) is clearly distinguishable from the background, and as many higher peak white values to the right as you feel are appropriate after reading the posts and judging your own source material.
Do this first with the Black 1-24 screen, then fine tune with the Black 15-19 screen."ħ) White Calibrator: Fire up the Reference White Calibrator image on your TV. Here are Sydow's instructions: "Adjust brightness so bar 17 is barely visible and bar 16 (reference black) is not (blends with the blacker-than-black background). Start playing.ĥ) Sit at optimal distance: I hope you already have the optimal sized TV for your room as I suggested in the TV buying guide, so now, sit back at your optimal distance (or just sit at your usual spot).Ħ) Black Calibrator: Fire up the Reference Black Calibrator image on your TV. What's 1080p and 720p, you ask? We went over this in our TV jargon buster.Ģb) Grab the right photos: What are your favourite home photos? Choose those that you've seen many times on different screens.ģ) Get calibrator references: Download the Original Size of reference calibrators by Mark Sydow, reshared by Flickr user Stan_Chase: Reference Black Calibrator | Reference White CalibratorĤ) Transfer: Transfer all of the media and Sydow's reference calibrators to a USB flash drive (provided your TV can play all the file formats) or a Blu-ray disc. Make sure they're high-resolution files! Blu-rays are ideal, but if not, get the 1080p file from somewhere (provided you have a 1080p TV - if not, get a 720p file). If that person is you, then great! For the sake of this example, we're going to assume it's you, but you can extrapolate all this to a third party too.Ģa) Grab the right movies: Which movies are you most familiar with? Among them, choose one bright, animated movie (The Incredibles) and one dark movie (The Dark Knight Returns). Once you identify the person and time, ask that person to be free in that time slot to set up the TV. It might not be you who watches TV the most, it might be your partner, your kids or a parent. Figure out what time of the day the TV in your house is going to be watched most often and by whom. Remember, it's subjective, so cater the calibration to the bigger consumer. If you want to set your TV up to look right for you and do it with minimal effort, you'll need to set it up by eye.ġ) Identify the target: If it's a shared TV, don't be selfish and set it perfectly for yourself.
