Do these colours look true? - Blu-ray Forum

Automission · 12-31-2008, 10:20 PM

So I'm trying to recalibrate my Tv, just to make sure its correct but I'm having some difficulty. So before I go changing everything, I thought I'd get an opinion on how it looks so far.
I'm afraid I don't have many Blu-Ray films, so I opted for cloverfield as my test. My other Blu-Ray's include Lost season 4, Futurama Benders game and Stargate Continuum, if you prefer any shots from those films, just say.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I wouldn't think Cloverfield is a good choice since it tries to go for the "home video" look. I'd recommend using a pic of Lost since that has a more vibrant and tropical vibe.
Plus most of these guys will tell you to use a calibration disk. I have one from Vikuity or something and it didn't help much, so it's basically up to your own eyes.

Get a DVE or other calibration disk and use in an appropriate environment. You can't assume we have all calibrated our monitors to give you feedback. I have not, even though I have spend hours with a colorimeter and my television.

We can't tell you... There are so many variables to consider here. What browser is someone using. Then also what type of monitor and GPU is one using. Then how well is our monitor calibrated, so we can't answer that question with an image posted on the net. You should either consider paying an ISF Certified Calibrator or invest in a hardware calibrator.
