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

yakisoba · « **Reply #32 on:** Sep 24, 2007 at 09:50 PM »

yup this is yakisoba sa pinoyxbox thanks thanks .. i adjusted my 360 setting to the link na binigay sa avforums

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.

Thanks ericag_ph!

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?

ericgnu · « **Reply #43 on:** Apr 10, 2008 at 08:18 AM »

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.

bombie · « **Reply #44 on:** Apr 11, 2008 at 06:28 PM »

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

streetsmart · « **Reply #46 on:** Apr 12, 2008 at 11:48 AM »

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.

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.

anchit · « **Reply #52 on:** Apr 25, 2008 at 04:38 PM »

macx · « **Reply #53 on:** Apr 25, 2008 at 04:55 PM »

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

up natin. samsung la32a550 user here. any other calibration settings??

pollywog · « **Reply #57 on:** Aug 11, 2008 at 09:46 PM »

...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...

Eliza08 · « **Reply #58 on:** Aug 12, 2008 at 11:42 PM »

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!

Same as mine. I can only assume that it's dependent on the cable signal.
