Tips on fixing ghosting? - Blu-ray Forum

STARSCREAM · 08-19-2008, 04:36 PM

Anybody know how to tweak out or fix ghosting? I was watching MUMMY on Blu-ray last night and noticed some ghosting during really dark scenes. I'm using a black pearl projector.

what kind of screen are you using?

STARSCREAM · 08-19-2008, 05:12 PM

I'm using a 118 inch Carada Criterion Brilliant White screen.

i am not sure for projection tv's but my lcd said that it may be caused from the sharpness being too high. IDK.

also if the projector has any kind of noise reduction, or mpeg reduction, turn those off.

Ghostbusters, definately.

I had problems with ghosting on my Hitachi LCD TV and I had to do a google search using my tv model number and "ghosting".

What I found was that there was a special manufacturer calibration menu for my tv that was not mentioned in the user's guide (I assume to keep people from jacking up their settings). I had to hold the menu button in while it turned the power on to the tv to access the special menu and their was an option to adjust ghosting.

That was just for my Hitachi TV, but I'm sure that most modern tvs or projectors have a hidden calibation menu such as this.

Good Luck, ghosting sucks, expecially during sports.
