I have my 4K HDR Sony XBR with a Triluminous wide color gamut panel remapping the 8 bit 4:2:0 color convincingly to a wider nearly P3 DCI 10 bit color gamut outside of the 2 Cinema modes in bt 2020 color space mode with the caveat to keep the color saturation in the 40's most of the timeĪll that makes color stripped SAT/CABLE TV look remarkably better as it does with a 5 star blue ray. I used the same images on my legendary Samsung 1080p 64f8500 Plasma out front and I have day /nite and more vivid than strictly accurate bt709 calibrations stored in both sets also. This Sony XBR panels dynamic range can take a max back-light setting without washing out the colors ,graying the blacks or clipping also YMMV. įWIW the best result on my Sony XBR is 49-50 on both Sharpness and Black level like any recent Sony HDR set and Sharpness gets soft below 48- 49 and shows edge enhancement at ~ 53 -54 it's virtually impossible to do correctly without a good test pattern.

016 ref.black levels and color saturation so it wont clip colors and detail within the 4:2:0 range for TV and media and 4:4:4 /RGB full on PC input. I used some AVS HD709 calibration patterns and images to set 4:2:0 video levels and. ĭisney Wow is more consumer oriented and well liked and Spears & Munsil is more technical and highly regarded. You can buy a Calibration DVD or BD You can also download the (free) AVS HD709 mp4 ,DVD or BD files at AVS forums and use a USB stick or PC also. The 90% color patterns are decent for all that IMO but basic instructions are there too.Īs was mentioned in the aricle. I used the (free) AVS HD709 calibration and sharpness and over scan patterns direct from a USB HDD into my 2015 4K Sony XBR HDR TV and Samsung 64f8500 Plasma to make basic calibration /visual adjustments without a colorimeter with good results but a lot of that always depends on the TV ofc.
