Will these calibration settings work for me?

[jorjoskim]

I have the same TV as this guy, And my blu ray player is different cause it is a bdp-s300 instead of an S350. So would i just be able to use his settings instead of buying a DVE disc?

"1st Power-up Picture Settings
1) Change Picture Mode = ....... MOVIE (which Lowered Contrast & Brightness levels)
2) Turned Sharpness down = ... 0
3) Change Temperature = ....... WARM
4) Lamp Power = ................... LOW

VIDEO CALIBRATION - Digital Video Essentials SD DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray - 16x9 Anamorphic test screens
1) Pluge test screen for "Contrast & Brightness"
2) NTSC Color test screen & BLUE Filter for "Color & Tint"

Share Your Custom Display Settings

post any questions/recommendations you have about picture settings here. Thats what its there for.

Plus you never mention what TV brand you have?

[WriteSimply]

First write down your own settings. Then try out these settings. HOWEVER, you STILL need to calibrate it your own. The player and the lighting conditions differ from yours so it may affect the final outcome. You can use the BD DVE or the Disney/Pixar discs for calibration.

All tvs are different & also the lighting conditions will be different....
