I thought I'd share my TV settings (managed to use Avia calibration disc)

Ambient light during testing = dark.
Energy Saving during testing = 0ff.
LCD TV = Samsung LA40R71B

Mode = Custom
Contrast = 70
Brightness = 58
Sharpness = 15
Colour = 50 (best guess, since I don't have the filters)

Colour Tone = Normal

Thanks, I just have 32 inch same model will try these out. Appreciate it

where did you get the avia disc? been looking around for this. do you have the color plate accessory also?

ericag_ph · « **Reply #3 on:** May 19, 2007 at 05:53 PM »

I downloaded it

all 4+GB of it...took 3 days.
I wasn't sure if it was that useful...considering it sells for $40 at amazon.com

I don't have the filters, or color plates stuff...that's why I set color = 50...
mathematically, that's your best best.

It looks ok at 50 anyway.

Bottom line, Avia is ok if you are new to HT...lot's of HT related info on the disc.
But the calibration menu is the only thing I found useful...not worth the $40 in my books.

have they come out with a bluray or hd dvd version yet?

ericag_ph · « **Reply #5 on:** May 21, 2007 at 11:15 AM »

I should add something... the settings below look great when viewing DVDs from a DVD player...but
when the video source is from a PC..it's a little too dark...and I would prefer "Standard" rather than "Custom".
I have no idea if the settings would look great with cable TV...as the TV is not connected to a cable source.

Has anyone tried using avia on the r81? can someone share their calibration settings please? i know this wouldnt be exact due to difference in lighting conditions but i just want a baseline.

thanks.

allenwfc · « **Reply #7 on:** Jul 09, 2007 at 11:10 AM »

same here for avia on 32r81b

R88 (for UK) is the same as R81.

Mode: Standard
Contrast: 85
Brightness: 50
Sharpness: 50
Colour: 50
Tint: G50 R50

nice settings

big difference from my random settings without a calibration disc LOL

just adjusted a few to suit my tastes but overall they were great. used the xbox and dvd settings

allenwfc · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 10, 2007 at 02:30 PM »

used also xbox and and dvd settings.

home theater settings for pc using vga.. seemed that it could be improved further... will test hdmi with laptop tonight.

as for wii, xbox settings looked good.. but feels a bit too red..

jeckjeck · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 10, 2007 at 05:11 PM »

used the setting for the tuner for TV viewing... it seemed to dark at first but when my eyes got used to it, it was actually a whole lot better than my old settings...

thanks yvesjae!

i think the reason why some settings are a bit dark is because they are calibrated in dark rooms or at least with little ambient light.
i too thought the settings was a bit dark for me till my eyes got adjusted.

although in some calibration tests, you still need the blue filter that comes with the purchased disk.

ericag_ph · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 26, 2007 at 08:37 PM »

That's true, but in my case I set the TV parameter to 50 out of 100 when the blue filter was required.
Mathematically, that's your best bet. Your eyes can also compensate for the lack of the blue filter for that particular test. I didn't think it was worth the $40.

also...does anyone have a list of what the features do? dnle, hdmi black, black adjust, etc? any listing on what these actually do to PQ?

also, i noticed that 16:9 has smaller black bars than just scan mode when using my pio dv400 via hdmi with a widescreen dvd. can someone tell me which is better than the 2 in terms of a closer 1:1 pixel mapping? also noticed that the just scan mode leaves a black space of maybe 10 pixels on the left side and on the top using a pal 16:9 concert dvd i just bought.

Wow, this price is really low. Just make sure may warranty from Toshiba Phils. and not just the store's warranty (grey units)
