Am still doing some judicious Google-Fu on this, but my skills appear to be weak today...

My bro-in-law has just bought one of the above TV's from JL and I am trying to hunt down the calibration settings for it, but all I seem to be abel to find atm are adverts and reviews.

Does anyone have a link or a list of the settings please?

Cheers
 
You do realise that the calibration settings will vary from set to set? i.e. two of the same model TV will require different settings.

Plugging in someone else's numbers might seem like a short cut to picture heaven, but it's a risky strategy. Brightness is unique to your room lighting conditions. Similarly, contrast needs to be set by eye to get maximum picture output without crushing white detail. Sharpness again should be set by eye using a black on mid-grey test pattern. Once they're done then you need a colour filter and the tint/colour test pattern. Brightness affects colour saturation, so if you set the brightness correctly for your room then the colour level will be different to someone else's numbers too.

The only things you can really key in from another's settings list is stuff such as colour temp preset (warm/normal/cool), picture mode preset (dynamic/film/natural etc), and recommended settings for any picture processing. Even then you're at risk; you can't often tell if they've got other gear in the system that affects the results, nor do you know if their preferences for motion and picture processing are different to yours. Finally, are you sure they actually know what they're doing or have they just picked settings on the basis of "it looks good to me".

Sorry that this isn't the answer you wanted to hear. But it is the truth.
 
These are the settings on use on my 55 F7000

Now I can understand why the ISF calibrators spoke of their clients freaking out after a professional calibration. "Why is my picture so dull?!" As they are so used to seeing over saturated images.

Colour steps/clipping patterns will show all bars gone with the above 70. Samsung's are usually pretty close with their 25% targets of default 50 Colour for Movie.

You should download the free AVS709 disc, SDK^. Even your sharpness is too high, if you saw what's happening on the sharpness pattern. All the wringing around the lines.

I used this for the first time the other day and was quite shocked.

My Samsung PS51E6500 dint really need much playing about with to get pretty close to what it should be. Or what I could get it to

Now my Samsung LED smart TV in the bedroom was a difrent story. Running the colour stepings it was just one big massive blur lol
