TV Calibration.

Hi all.

I'm about to get a LG 49UF850V 4k TV and ocviously would like to set it up to get the best picture possible.

I've read around a bit and these seem to be the options:

1, Get a professional in and spend £200-£300 per TV

2, Get an free app called THX Tune-up but spend £40 on a Lightning Digital AV Adapter and do all your TV's.

3, Buy Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark and Calibration Blu-Ray, 2nd Edition for about £25 but I may need to spend more for a colorimeter and again do all your TV's for life.

I'm a novice at this but obviously would prefer option 2 or 3.

Can anyone make a suggestion? I'm not a videophile so it doesn't have to be 100% perfect but I want it to be pretty close.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So option 3 and maybe get a colorimeter in the future if the obsession takes?

Picture Perfect

That's great.

I don't have the TV yet but I'll look at those later and see if I need the Spears & Munsil Blu-Ray.

Thank you.

Thank you so much everyone.

Some great advice.

For now I will start with the Picture Perfect lude1962 linked above and see how it looks after I have gone through all the steps.

If after that I think I could achieve more I'll look into some of the more expensive options listed here.

Thanks again everyone.
