Repeat the exercise with the full dark movie. So take note of any colour changes, brightness or contrast details, and the sharpness of items. Since you've seen it so many times, you know what's it's "supposed" to look like for your eyes.

Adjust the colour temperature of your screen to best reflect the skin tones of the people in the photos.ĩ) This is the best part: You now get to watch those movies! Play through the full animated movie. Among the shortlisted photos, play images with people in them - people you know in person, and preferably, photos where you were there. I find that adjusting so values up to 245 are visible yields the best results on my system."Ĩ) Colour Temperature: Now that your brightness and contrast is set, it's time to adjust the colour temperature. Here are Sydow's instructions: "Adjust contrast so 235 (reference white) is clearly distinguishable from the background, and as many higher peak white values to the right as you feel are appropriate after reading the posts and judging your own source material. Do this first with the Black 1-24 screen, then fine tune with the Black 15-19 screen."ħ) White Calibrator: Fire up the Reference White Calibrator image on your TV.

If that person is you, then great! For the sake of this example, we're going to assume it's you, but you can extrapolate all this to a third party too.Ģa) Grab the right movies: Which movies are you most familiar with? Among them, choose one bright, animated movie (The Incredibles) and one dark movie (The Dark Knight Returns). Once you identify the person and time, ask that person to be free in that time slot to set up the TV. It might not be you who watches TV the most, it might be your partner, your kids or a parent.

If you want to set your TV up to look right for you and do it with minimal effort, you'll need to set it up by eye.ġ) Identify the target: If it's a shared TV, don't be selfish and set it perfectly for yourself.
