What's the best picture calibration
2036645
That's a very vague question. Unlocking ISF Day and Night modes in the professional menu are the most flexible settings if you're a tweaker. Cnet's review has a calibration setting that you can try (I think it's in custom mode) as well. Enjoy!

I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from. I am not a Pro, I just know what I like. I simply looked at all the preset calibrations in the menu, tweaking each one with the settings available in the menu. After a few days, I narrowed down to "Vivid and/or THX Bright room" selections. After a couple more days of tweaking, I have settled on the THX Bright room calibration. I still go to the vivid now and then. I also developed a nice custom picture setting that I watch sparingly for some unknown reason. All in all, you have to play around until you find what best suits your eyes. Or shell out the bucks for a professional calibration. Good luck, have fun. I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from.

I own the VT60 and plugged these calibration settings in after about a 350 hour break-in. The outcome is so incredible and made me have my ah ha moment with this set. http://reviews.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/panasonic-plasma-tv/panasonic-vt60-picture-settings.html

Go to soundandvision.com to read a full review of this set and the calibration settings they used. Keep in mind that every set is different and those settings should be used as a starting point.

It's like this. If you can adjust the settings to give you a picture you are happy with then forget the calibration. Just spend a few hours adjusting the picture to your liking. It also pays to google the set you bought and see what other settings owners use. Of course, your eyes, environment, TV, etc. will vary from theirs.If you want to get the best picture out of your HDTV then get it ISF-calibrated. But I must say buying a low-end model flat-panel for under $1000 and then paying someone $250-$300 to calibrate it seems ridiculous. Now if you paid $3000-$6000 for a Pioneer Kuro Elite,you can obviously spend a few hundred bucks on ISF calibration. It's like this.

The only issue I have had, and it's really the way it should be is that you can't calibrate if you have any imaging software open, this includes windows photo viewing programs.

I just use calibration DVD's. This way you can calibrate any TV you wish at any time. And it's $110 cheaper :) The biggies are Digital Video Essentials and Avia (Avia II is the latest - it's here on Amazon). I've used both - I buy Avia now because it includes plastic filters, which you need to use to adjust tint. Now, this TV does have a 'Blue only' mode, so you don't need the filters for this TV, but you do for most TVs. Anywho, they really walk you through video and audio calibration, you don't need to be an expert at all, and it gets the same results as Best Buy. Better, actually, because calibrating in a store under fluorescent lights won't get you as good results as calibrating in your home. I just use calibration DVD's.

Digital, and an excellent resolution, holds color calibration. Have had two for a year, and completely satisfied.

Yes, I'd recommend 400 DPI, its a bit slower but the picture comes out a lot better

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

CCD, the 1080P by Sharp is fantastic. I went with the highest resolution possible and I am NOT dissatisfied. The picture is phenomenal with an HD signal. My wife and I watch this TV in our bedroom more now than the 38" tube HDTV in the livingroom. Go with the Sharp. I do not think you'll be disappointed.

the monitor comes calibrated out of the box, it is actually quite good. but im sure you could use x-rite, but i have never used it to calibrate any screen. so i dont know forsure but calibration out of box is very good, it even comes with a calibration chart in the box

Professional calibration will extend the life of your set, especially if you are using it with the "out of the box" settings. An ISF calibrationist can access the service menu and adjust the color temperature using what's called a colorimeter. Have you ever wondered which color temp setting is the correct one? Calibration will adjust the temp to 6500 degrees Kelvin, which happens to be the industry standard. On many sets, the warm setting is close, but not exactly 6500 degrees. The monitors that are used for color correction on most DVD movies are also calibrated to the same standard. A calibration will also optimize the Contrast and Brightness settings, along with Color, Tint, and the one setting that is NEVER adjusted correctly on any set I've seen, Sharpness. Your set will appear to be higher in resolution after it is properly calibrated. It will prevent colors from "bleeding" so you get a sharper appearance. I used to have a Sony XBR set, and I calibrated it, and it made me not want to sell it anymore, that's how much of a difference it made. After some time, I decided I wanted a bigger screen, so I now have a Pioneer. Once I calibrated it, it is the best looking TV I have ever seen. Panasonic makes a great product too and your set would be a very close second to my Pioneer after you had it properly calibrated. So for $300 you will realize the absolute best performance potential that your Panasonic plasma is capable of. If that is something that you are interested in, calibration is well worth the money. If there was a way for me to show you the before and after picture quality, you would for sure want your set calibrated. Skin tones always look accurate and team jerseys always look like the correct color.

The best camera I bought was by far the GW700TVC it will do everything you want.unbeavable night time pics.couts about 70.00

Possibly, depending on how off your colors are. Remember that sometimes calibration results in a reduction of the brightness of a screen or a projected image. This may detract from the viewing experience.

All I can tell u from what I learned from the professional is use Calibrate advance display Colormunk by X-RITE. Check the web site. I hope this is hopeful to you!!!! Let me know okay!! Go to Samy's Camera they will be able to help you!!! It is the best place to go to!!!!

I know you can calibrate using the game, but even after calibrating playing songs at expert difficulty is still a off. Playing with a Vizio or Sharp there are no issues. How can it not be an issue with the Samsung TV when I hook it up to a Sharp AQUOS and I don't have to calibrate it? It's the Samsung with all it's Smooth Motion video processing.
