calibration

[jibucha]

Hello

I understand and appreciate your point, however, without a properly calibrated display to reference to; any perspective or judgement is without context, or merit for that matter.

Additionally, the closer that a display is to calibrated, the more significant an impact the un-calibrated issues become in my experience.

Having said all of this; I agree that it is always best to at least try to improve picture quality of any display by any rational means, so long as a full understanding that only a proper display calibration by a proficient professional is realized as a calibrated display.

The most serious problem in display picture quality today, is how many do not have a calibrated display, especially, those that mistakenly perceive that they have a calibrated display, simply sharing display settings, and using the many test signals available on both DVD and Blu-ray, without an understanding that this definitely is not a calibration, using these means incompletely.

Actually, those discs, as originally intended, were for the purpose of providing a basis of understanding why a professional calibration should be appreciated and considered, rather as an end unto themselves. This is a very serious oversight by all involved.

In closing; only a properly professionally calibrated display can be considered calibrated; all else is something else approximating, whether for better or worst.

Thank You

You're right when you say a professional calibration is the best way to calibrate your TV. However, calibration settings obtained via other means can still do a pretty good job of achieving good picture quality as well. As when you relative tune a guitar, the settings may not be perfectly in tune, but they can still look good if they're in tune relative to one another. And since our sensory memory is so poor, you can have a poorly calibrated TV look "just fine" as long as you aren't comparing it side by side with a TV that is calibrated properly.
