Calibrate for each TV channel? Can't be done... can it?
Two TV channels, SD/720/1080 - doesn't matter, may be completely off from one another.
Having the TV set for *ideal* will still get you a messed up picture on your display because the
source is hosed.
Watch a DVD upconverted, and then the same movie on Blu-ray.
Many times, the same scenes will look way different. Color/contrast/brightness/ etc.
People will see something "wrong" and start adjusting the controls til it looks acceptable.
Ok, movie is over... back to TV and channel "3" looks fine. Watch it for a while. Cool!
Switch to channel "15". Whoa! WAY too much color saturation/bleeding, way red, and too bright.
Back to the menu to make THAT look acceptable. Cool!
Switch channels again... guess what. Yep, nearly no color and the picture is too dark.
2 days later, that $300 you just dropped on calibration is... a waste.
While the default settings should still be well within spec, who here runs their TV at default?
I turned off Dynamic Contrast and turned down the backlight.
Took it off warm and set it to "normal".
As always, YMMV.
