His it worth it ?

Hi,

His have a expert calibrate your tv worth it ? Bought a lg c9 yesterday and want the best possible picture.

thanks

Just having a professional come on Sunday to do it and get it to it’s best possible picture.

those are 50% as likely to make the picture worse than better.

again people are clueless as to what calibration is and how it is specific not only to the TV as every one is built different but the room as well.

That’s why I’m getting a professional in, not cheap but I think it will be well worth it come Sunday when he’s finished.

You could always buy a calibrator and learn how to do it but I imagine that would take days if not weeks to get it absolutely right

Rather just let somebody who knows what there doing. Has he said it will roughly take around 4 hours to properly do ! With doing day and night time viewing and also Xbox.

Yeah that's what you are paying for their expertise. A day and night setting and per device.

The people that think they can just cooy settings off the net don't have a clue.

I have a pc monitor calibrator I'm seriously thinking of getting a TV calibrator now.

Yes he said there his 30 thousand setting on my tv to do. I’ll let you know how it goes and if you want his name and number he travels all around the country doing cinemas and private houses.

I'd rather buy the gear and do it myself. That way I can charge people I know for it too to pay for the gear.

It's why I bought the monitor calibrator.

I already had offers in the past from Vincent from Hdtvtest.

Just had it done ! What a difference like night and day. Definitely 100% worth it!

 

[baz178]

Hisn't.

no need to take **** out of somebody who’s dyslexic, I try my best and it’s getting better. Hope you feel good about yourself mate

People have different ocular perception too as all eyes are different. While I have nothing against professional calibration there is an element of emperor's new clothes about it being something magical for your screen. People who get it done are really just after piece of mind and are always keen to bring it up that they spent the money getting it done, but in most circumstances it shouldn't be needed and is a waste of money.

Doubt it’s a waste of money, them settings that come pre installed with the c9 are just awful. It’s night and day better, obviously you’ve never had it done before have you !

 

[baz178]

The C9s are apparently okay out of the box in certain picture modes, the B9s however are awful but benefit massively from a calibration.

As has been said, it's peace of mind more than anything to know that you're getting an image displayed the way it's meant to look. If you have dodgy eyesight or don't always use the best source to watch stuff then I wouldn't bother.

The person who did mine said they were better than the b9s but still awful. Yes I watch a lot of 4K stuff on Netflix and movies through lg app. Also 4K football football at weekend and through the week when it’s on.

 

[baz178]

I calibrate all my displays using test patterns and my own eyes.

yes but you can’t get it has accurate has some of the software they use.

If anybody wants the number of the man I used just message me on here, one of the best to use in the country.
