Knowing that let's go on to how you and the professionals, although they don't, should adjust the settings of your television.įirst: if this is not a brand new television go ahead and reset it if it is a brand new television go ahead and set it up and plug it in and turn it on.side thought, and very importantly, the television does need a break in period about 6 months for entry level televisions shorter for for more advanced televisions with a higher refresh rate I also took the assumption that any specific color management adjusting would be so small I would not need to know the scale, I don't.

or 1000 cd/m2, ranging from the darkest of grey (common television black) to pure white or 0,0,0-255,255,255.īut wait not all televisions use the complete standard RGB scale, sort of LED televisions are said to reach the full standard RGB spectrum of 0-255 `where LCD televisions only reach about 90% or accurately described as 0-235.įurthermore I took the assumption that most displays, not all, are on a brightness scale of 0 nit.-1000 nit. That scale is 0-255, at least for televisions ranging up to ~1000 nit. So I had to assume the scales on our televisions were on the said same scale. This is what we have to work with as we are not certified professionals and do not have the codes to alter the proprietary manufacturer set settings of our television.
Your television settings, almost all of them obviously, are on a scale of 0 to max and/or backwards 0 to "nothing".

Target Luminance/ candela/meter2( cd/m2)/luminosity/nit/LUX: Is a measure of the brightness of the displayĪdjusting Luminance: Is the measure of the brightness to each IRE point of the display allowing for smoother action scenes and quicker scene changesĬhroma: The ratio the RGB colors are displayed on your televisions display (4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4)īefore telling you how to calibrate your television by your self I will be going over a few things. IRE Point: Is the measure of the amount of power being delivered to the display (this allows for proper depth of field and a wider array of colors) Offset/Lows: On televisions is a tool used to tune the saturation of all the colors in the display by pixel Gain/Highs: On televisions is a tool used to tune the illuminance (strength/power) of all the colors in the display Kelvin Scale: A scale to measure temperature in lightġ0, 20 or 25 Point White Balance: Is the primary form of accurate calibration of the white balance of a television. (this is a measurement of the amount of color the reaches the face of the display)Ģ Point White Balance: Is a precise tool allowing for most accurate calibration and correction of the white balance of a television Luminance: Is the measure of the ratio of light (color) to surface area(display). Hue or Tint: On televisions is a tool to adjust, as you prefer, the amount of green shade(tint) or red shade(hue) per pixel Saturation: On televisions is a tool used to correct color bleeding in the display panel caused by data transfer components(hardware)
Gamma: Is a precision tool on a scale to improve the basic color spectrum specified
Preferred Color: Adjusts the colors of the High Dynamic Range engine, that it uses to create a better, more accurate depth of field Temperature: Is a tool to adjust the level of colors to display an effect of summer or winter, warm or cool/cold.ĭynamic Contrast: adjust the dynamics of the display using the televisions contrast in order to create a more accurate depth of fieldĭynamic Color: adjusts the dynamics of the display using the televisions' color levels in order to create a more accurate depth of field Hue or Tint: On televisions is a tool to adjust, as you prefer, the amount of (G)reen shade or tint and (R)ed shade or hue (-/+) in the entire display Sharpness: Adjusts the basic clarity of the image displayed ( H Sharpness and V Sharpness stand for Horizontal and Vertical)Ĭolor: Adjusts the amount of color that is displayed on your television Hello my name is Simon and I wanted to sharey calibration settings with you because it is really expensive to pay for expert calibration when you can just use math to find the correct but not "exact" settings for your television.īacklight: Adjusts the levels of lighting behind the display allowing the image to be seenĬontrast: Adjusts the current color temperature(white level) of the display from black to pure whiteīrightness: Adjusts the amount of light that is displayed from the original format(the camera the recorded the media)
