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) ;D
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?
-
I downloaded it ;D 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. ;D 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?
-
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.

same here for avia on 32r81b

you could try the various settings for different sources posted here as baseline for your R81

nice settings :D 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 :)
-
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..
-
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.

does anybody have a copy of avia or digital video essentials that they can lend ;)
-
you can try downloading it from the net. That's what I did. ;D

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

New owner ng R81, Thanks a lot for providing this link: http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513376 ,
I'm now using their DVD Upscaling/HDMI settings and Nintendo Wii settings and really noticed a big improvement from the default settings.
I was looking sana for Cable TV settings, anyone po ba na pwede mag share ng settings nila?
TIA
-
i used the freeview setting for tv
-
hi guys just got a new r81 .. question i have a PS3 and a 360 connected to my R81 ... is there a setting where you can change the setting for PS3 (HDMI) and the setting naman for the 360 (component) ... yung guide sa avsforums kasi different and setting pag PS3 and 360.
-
hey yakisoba!
yes settings per input gets saved. so your settings for the 360 can be different from your ps3 and dvd player and tv. as long as they are on different inputs this can be done..just tweak and go.
btw..are you the same yakisoba on the pxb forums? :) congrats on your new lcd tv. i can share you my 360 settings if you want. its almost the same as the one above but i tweaked it a little as it was too dark in some games like GOW and R6V
-
yup this is yakisoba sa pinoyxbox thanks thanks .. i adjusted my 360 setting to the link na binigay sa avforums ;D
-
yakisoba:
i think i bumped the brightness a bit...3-5 notches up.
black adjust to medium
dynamic contrast to medium
backlight to 8
apart from these...i used the exact same settings. still look good for watching HD movie content (downloaded via torrents) and gave more detail to dark games like R6V and GOW. i had to adjust the ingame brightness on R6V a bit though. also adjusted the ingame brightness in bioshock. these settings were the best compromise for movies and games.
hope this helps.

Question lang...I am using an R71 and tried using the settings in the link above.
When I got in the Service Menu and started tweaking...I noticed that the numbers indicated are way off..
Example:
R/G/B Offset (for DVD Upscaling Settings)
The orginal setting in my R71 is around 127-131 and the link suggests that I lower it to 15.
Did that and it was really really dark...near to "I can't see anything".
Mode : Standard --> did this
Contrast : 85 --> did this
Brightness : 53 --> did this
Sharpness : 25 --> did this
Colour : 35 --> did this
Tint : 50/50 --> did this
Colour Tone : Normal --> did this
Backlight : 10 --> can't see the option for this
Digital NR : Off (removed image retention) --> did this
DNIe : On --> did this
Movie Plus : Off --> no opton for this
Black Adjust : High --> no option for this
Dynamic Contrast : Off --> did this
Gamma : +1 --> no option
R Offset : 15 --> did 115 instead
G Offset : 15 --> did 115 instead
B Offset : 15 --> did 115 instead
R Gain : 4 --> did 104 instead
G Gain : 15 --> did 115 instead
B Gain : 18 --> did 118 instead
Pink : 12 --> no option
Green : 11 --> no option
Blue : 11 --> no option
White : 14 --> no option
Edge Enhancement : On --> no option
Colour Space : Auto --> no option
Did I do it correctly? Or it was supposed to be 100 + 15 (115)??
But I noticed a lot of improvement in the PQ of my Sammy LCD.
But I think there are a lot of tweaks that I can do and I don't know where to start.
-
antikryst: thanks bro :)

not sure bro but i think the config setting for the R71 is different from the r81

Ok ba r81? Im getting a good deal on this set.. Happying happy ba kayo mga boys?

Thanks ericag_ph! ;D
Can't wait to test this.
I used the R81 settings and it was a bit bright especially when the light are turned off.
Regarding the Avia Calibration disc, I just pop it in my DVD and start making the adjustments?
-
Good am,
Just would like to get your inputs.... i just got me a 32lx77 and would appreciate if you owners could share us your picture settings ( movie watching).
I feel my settings are not that refined yet... so maybe i can do some more fiddling based on your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
-
I have an Lx70 and there is not much difference between the two models. My advice is for you to have a "burn-in" period first of about 100 hours. Then, have your LCD calibrated for the settings that will appeal to you. S&S calibrates for free just in case you bought your unit from them.
-
Hi Guys,
I currently have a toshiba 37a3000e... has anyone got the AVIA setting for this ?
pashare naman please
thanks in advance
-
The settings of AVIA are unique for each particular TV. Even if 2 units are exactly the same brand and model, they need to be independently calibrated. Furthermore, after a few months, the calibration has to be repeated.
In other words, you can't just borrow the AVIA settings of other people, even if they have exactly the same brand and model.
There are some DVD's which have a THX calibration procedure included in the menu. That can substitute for AVIA.
-
thanks for the info any tips where i can buy a CD

Sorry. Difficult to find Avia or Video Essentials locally. You can buy from Amazon for sure.
Re the THX discs, I have seen this feature on at least 2 discs, but both of them were purchased in the US. ONe of them was Moulin Rouge. D ko na maalala the other one. D pa ako nakakita ng ganitong feature sa locally-purchased DVD's. Maybe some other member knows.
-
thanks for the help was able to contact sights and sound to do a calllibration of my Tv kaso still have to schedule it medyo busy rin ksi schedule ko lately but for the price they are charging its not at all expensive
-
I saw THX calibration in Titanic 2-Disc Special Edition
-
afaik.di na bina burn-in ang LCD.plasma lang ang kailangan i burn-in.
-
not sure if this will help kasi setting ko to ng pv70:

this is after calibration.

LCDs do not require a burn-in/break-in period. period.

...LA37A450 user here. I'll try your settings.
I have a question, my TV audio is pegged at 'mono.' Is the audio signal dependent on the audio signal of the cable provider? Even with HBO ch., audio is 'mono', cannot change the setting...
-
Can you please share your settings for the LE8 for:
1)Blu-ray
2)Standard DVD
3)games (PS3)
Btw, the default settings are ok already, just need to know if there is still something better=)
Thank you very much!

Hello guys, just got this unit from e-reply. Very nice unit, can you help me out with the settings please? So i can maximize it's potential. Thanks a lot!
-
Toshiba is a very good unit. Got the 32 and 37inch models of the CV500, I like the pre-set values already. Have your unit color calibrated it's a free service from SnS, you'll get better settings from there.
But if anyone wishes to share their own settings please do so.
Thanks,
POST UPDATE:
One more plus factor for the CV500 is the way it displays "film grain" on Blu-Ray and DVD. Film grain is intentionally added to give you that movie like feel from your current media at home. Unlike other LCD's I've tried, the Toshiba's display softens film grain to a point that it's still there, but it's very very subtle. (note: this was tested at dynamic mode)
A very good example would be the Kingdom of Heaven - Blu-Ray, at chapter 35 called "power", on a Panasonic unit we found the grain too "noisy", but on a CV500 it was displayed in a very smooth way. Check the thread made by my sister:
http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=83315.0
Well to each his own, but for me, I like vibrant colors that are clean, accurate, soft and pleasing (not torching) to the eye and Toshiba delivers this kind of picture.

I got my 37CV500 from Vic at Sight and Sounds as well.
So far the unit is good naman. Although I use it mostly for cable, picture quality naman is pretty good. Since I'm on dream cable, their box had composite and s-video output. I tried both and there is no difference in picture quality. Recently I saw the Singapore F1 and the picture was very nice.
The sound is awesome. I turn on the SRSWoW feature and its fantastic, even on cable movies. The TV is currently on its factory setting and for day shots, the pictures are clean and crisp but for darker shots, i think I have to fine tune it pa.
DVD is a lot better. Using the component connection, very clear and crisp ang pictures even on day or night shot. I'm just having a hard time selecting picture size I should be using, Wide, Cinema1 or Cinema2.
Now, I'm just waiting for HDTV and cheaper Blu-ray DVD players. ;)

I'm not sure where I should be posting this but what settings are the best for an Samsung A450 LCD in the ff scenarios:
1.)Panasonic DVD Player via Component cables (it appears grainy when playing original / PDVDs)
2.)PS2 via Component Cables (appears grainy when playing)
3.)Xtreme HDMI DVD Player through HDMI (best settings for playing DivX movies via USB flash disk or DVDs)
Thanks!!! ;)

Hello sir!
If you're watching movies, the difference between HD Ready and Full HD won't be noticeable, if your screen size is bellow 40 inches. But if you're playing video games there is a slight noticeable difference between them even at 32 inches. However, you really have to sit close to the screen to actually see it^^

Thanks for your opinion. Galing akong SnS kanina,too bad wla palang 37" na full HD na samsung and toshiba. Meron ba sa ibang brands? iniisip ko lang kasi pag hindi full HD, baka di ma enjoy mabuti pag nag upgrade ako to blu-ray. Malaki kaya difference pag nag blu-ray at hindi full HD? if not, ok na siguro ung 37av450. :)

Hi PDVDers,
Just thinking if it would be possible to setup a configuration database similar to TweakTV's?
This would be very helpful to fellow PDVDers in calibrating their sets for optimal performance. :)
Calling all to share their config setup! :D
Attn Teams SnS/TW: You may want to share config of the various sets you have already calibrated! :D
Enjoy!

My new settings:
TV: Panasonic Viera 50C10
DVD Player: Pioneer DV-410V @ 1080p HDMI; Firmware: YJB8507B
TV Picture Settings:
Viewing Mode ..... Cinema
Contrast ..... 50
Brightness ..... 0
Colour ..... 36
Sharpness ..... 75
Tint ..... 0
Colour Balance ..... Normal
Colour Management ..... Off
x.v. Colour ..... Off
P-NR ..... Off
Player settings:
Sharpness ..... Fine
Gamma ..... -1
===================================
I reduced contrast on the TV from 65 to 50.
On newer DVDs, 50 contrast looks ok, but 65 contrast gives the picture some extra "pop", while maintaining a natural look. But on some older DVDs, 65 contrast makes bright areas too bright, giving the picture a fake look.
I decided on the 50 contrast to maintain a natural look for various DVDs. Using a THX Optimizer brightness test pattern, my contrast reduction required a corresponding brightness increase from -1 to 0.

Eto po yung aking Calibration po for Panasonic L32X10 using DVE calibration
For BD Watching:
Mode = Cinema
Contrast = 65
brightness = +11
Colour = 50
Sharpness = 10
tint = +13
colour balance = normal
colour management = on
medyo nalilito ako sa brightness calibration .... di ko totally maintindihan .... kaya what I did, I just let the really black bar almost show out of the background. Otherwise I will fail the other tests of contrast kasi (dapat daw kasi 100% visible lahat sa display). nag cli clip yung lowest blacks kasi
sa RGB calibration. Na perfect ko red and blue, but di ko maayos ang green. so pasensiya na i need to return the Calibration Bluray na kasi ;D and there seems no other way for me to adjust it further pa ..... compromise :'( :'( :'( :'(
abang ako ibang posts
-
(sorry po kung ot )
pahiram ko muna yun blu ray DVE disc ko sayo.
take ur time. wag mo i one nite stand yun calibration.
one week stand. hehehehehehehehe
:) :) :) :) :)
-
^^^ THanks ;D
-
ayos!!! panibagong problema wala akong bd player ;D
o pwede ko ng kopyahin yung set up mo sir ment?
salamat po!
-
pwede siguro sir since yung BD player ko naman walang picture tweaks ako ginawa :)
I am a firm believer of letting the hardware do the talking ;D
pero sir hindi totally perfect yung setting ah ...... see my disclaimers above :)

Any settings for Sony W550? Thanks.
-
Wow, I have a classmate in Sony W550!!! hehehe!!! Sir jdjoeydean I found this setting on the internet for a Sony 40W5500, thats a UK model. But I think thats the UK version of our Sony W550.
http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Sony-KDL40W5500/Settings.htm
I find the picture too yellowish, kaya i place the color temperature to neutral and gamma setting to 0.
Ok naman, but will still schedule the calibration from SnS at more than 100 hours na ito eh. Once calibration is done, I will post it here.

Hi Guys,
Did you notice that most of the TweakTV settings for any brand has the color mode set to warm 2. I like the richness of the color but somehow it makes the white look a bit too yellow? Was hoping someone could explain this to me. Thanks! :)
-
Try this:
Mode: Standard
Backlight 7
Contrast 90
Brightness 43
Sharpness 20
Color 40
Dynamic Contrast: Low
:)

Hi sir, many of our guru's here can explain these farther, just whant to share my little knowlege. The normal daylight, the sun produce is about 6500k color temperature (notist it a little bit yellowish?) By setting the lcd color temp to warm its mimiking (or its the closes) the light ambient the sun producing. Different color temperature will apect how color the eye will persive, so by setting it to warm we can percive color much lifelike, much accurate, than setting it to different color temp. if you have a painting's sir try to view it in different lightning condition, and you will notist the changing in color. Sory po sa ot. Sana po makatulong. Regards to all.

Hi My_einjels,
Thanks for answering my query. Will try out different calibration settings that use Warm 2. :)
-
According to the experts, 6500K is the correct color temperature. 6500K is also referred to as a "daylight illuminant", because it corresponds roughly to a mid-day sun in Western Europe / Northern Europe.
(Approximate color temperatures of various light sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature#Categorizing_different_lighting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature#Categorizing_different_lighting))
Some say that most monitors and TVs use a default color temperature of 9300K because most people prefer the slightly bluer color temperature. This default setting causes more and more people to get used to a 9300K temperature.
As a result, the correct temperature of 6500K looks too yellow to the average person.
I don't know if that explanation is true --- I just got it from foreign forums ;D. But In my case, I also think 6500K is too yellow.
Maybe I should also try out a Warm color temp setting and see if I'll get used to it.

@barrister
just a quick one...
why do you guys switch off the color management feature? i always switch it off just because, i see most people do, but i don't really know the reason behind it.
thanks.

For accuracy in picture quality, the rule of thumb is to turn off all picture enhancements, since those tweaks usually do more harm than good.
According to Panasonic's TV FAQ page, Color Management "automatically enhances green and blue to achieve a more vivid color reproduction, especially for outdoor scenes".
http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PlasmaFAQ?storeId=15001&catalogId=13401&langId=-1&catGroupId=24973
If you like enhanced greens and blues, set it to "on"; for accurate color reproduction, set it to "off".

won't the picture be too "noisy" with p-nr and 3d combo off?
-
Yes, but it's a matter of personal preference.
I prefer reducing color, contrast and sharpness rather than engaging P-NR and Comb filters.
At any rate, freeview TV quality is so low that it doesn't really matter much, either way.

Please post setting for LG LH70 LCD TV for regular Sky Cable Channel viewing and Cinema Viewing. Thanks! :D

With these shared settings, is it still advisable to have SnS calibrate the TV? Do we need to turn whatever management settings off before they calibrate or would they know to do that already?

I just wanted to share the settings that I have been using for my Samsung LN40B530. The settings was really for a L650 but the settings work for me. Been using it for the past 2 months and the PQ is definitely so much better than the standard settings.
I liked the settings in the link i found below because it also included specific settings for the White Balance setting in the TV. Most of the other settings I have found just play around with the usual controls - Brightness, Contrast, Color, Sharpness, etc.
I know that nothing really beats a professionally calibrated screen but since my HT setup is in the bedroom with no controlled light source (my wife likes thin curtains and I have been fighting a losing battle to get her to agree to change to heavy drapes so I can better control the light settings in the room). So this is better than not changing the settings at all or even paying for a calibrator.
Note of caution: I have noticed that if the TV gets unplugged that I have had to set the settings again so its good if you copy the settings down somewhere. I am just thankful that with the technology that goes into the new screens is so much better and energy-efficient even when on stanby. My dad couldn't believe at first that the standby power consumption of my new toy was just <1W. ;D
Also if your viewing in a bright room, the only thing I change from the settings below is the backlight from 5 to 10 especially if viewing in the day. Though by now, I have adjusted to just viewing at 5 setting for the backlight regardless of the light conditions. Funny thing is that at night, even the 5 settings seems too bright so what they say about adjustment to new settings just takes time is right on the money.
Anyway, enjoy the settings and let us know how they worked for you!
