Gregg, Michael, anyone???

Hey again guys. Got another quick calibration question. While exploring the Service Menu of my Sony KDF-55XS955 Rear Projection LCD RPTV i noticed 2 SBRT entries. I know that while calibrating Black Level, one should adjust SBRT but i'm not too sure as which one to use. There is a SBRT parameter...

ok. so that leads to my next question, which controls do i use when performing calibration? the regular user menu brightness/contrast or the service menu sub.. controls? thanks all! Carmine.

hey guys! ok, well i started calibrating my Sony 55XS955 LCD RPTV last night & need some tips on getting it just right. I'm using a SPYDER2PRO colorimeter to take screen measurements along with a COLORIMETER SPREADSHEET. i started out by adjusting contrast, then brightness using AVIA. brightness...

hey guys can someone possibly tell me what SCON & SBRT in the service menu are actually used for? thanks guys! Carmine

hey Michael. i ditched the filters & just turned off the green, red & blue panels respectively, but do i adjust those stated values above to correct color decoder error? thanks Carmine.

hey again guys. began performing my self-calibration & just a quick question regarding color decoder adjustments. am i correct in stating that in my Sony 55XS955 LCD RPTV service menu i should be adjusting the RYR RYB & GYR GYB settings to account for error in my color? thanks guys. Carmine

oh ok i got ya... thanks again Michael.

hey again Michael. not sure i understand what color gamut alignment is. would u be able to briefly explain? thanks so much.

hey guys. just wondering what the correct order is for calibrating an lcd rptv. ie - contrast, color, grayscale, etc. thanks so much Carmine

have the player set to interlaced as to let the scaler in the Tv upconvert to its native 768P. cables are very snug. i guess i will just live with it since i really dont notice it with the program material on the screen. only see it with a blank screen with a colored background. thanks for...

hey once again guys. i noticed something the other day on my 55XS that has me a bit concerned. now, bare with me as it is going to be quite difficult to describe. i have a Denon 2910 connected via component going directly into the TV component input. I have the Denon set to output "interlaced"...

Once again Michael, i have to say thank you very much. You always respond to my questions ASAP. thank you again!!! Carmine.

i've recently been tweaking my Sony 55XS955 LCD RPTV & just had a quick question. I've been calibrating my grayscale using a Spyder2 colorimeter & was just wondering what the optimum luminance output value should be at 100 IRE in ft.L. thanks very much for all your help guys. Carmine.

yes. i'm connecting my Denon with component cables. i'm sending a straight 480i signal to my sony lcd tv & i see jagged edges on a lot of DVD's. thanks guys. Carmine.

hey guys. i recently switched my Denon 2910 from HDMI to Component because of various posts stating that the 55XS does a much better job de-interlacing. now i'm noticing scan lines on certain DVD's. the picture does seem a bit smoother except for the "jagged" scan lines during certain scenes...

ok Michael i followed your instructions & went back into the service menu to try to correct the reddish tint from black & white material. my contrast seems to be set pretty much perfect according to the ramps pattern you suggested i use. my black level is set to about 13 on the user menu & i'm...

hey Michael one last thing, what are the correct luminance values for black & white? spyder allows me to enter these as well. thanks again. Carmine

i've recently adjusted my lcd rptv's grayscale using colorvision's spyder pro colorimeter. i entered custom values for x,y to obtain a grayscale value as close to D65 as possible. i proceeded to adjust my cuts & drives along the entire grayscale ramp (from 20 IRE up to 100 IRE). according to the...

Michael Thank you so much!!!!!! I now finally have an order of operations for my self-calibration. I do appreciate it so much!!!!! Carmine.

hey Michael. yeah i was told a bunch of times already that the spyder is pretty innacurate on the darker end. my contrast is set a bit high as well. can i ask a question of you Michael as your really know your stuff. what is the correct order of performing a complete calibration. i mean what do...

hey guys, i recently adjusted a few values in the service menu of my sony rptv. those in particular are in the MID-5 category which are supposed to increase resolution. i'm not sure, but i think i'm seeing vertical scan lines on my high def channels. i have comcast with a scientific atlanta 8000...

my new sony tv has controls for white balance in the user menu. the only thing is they are labeled "BIAS" & "GAIN". which of these is equivalent to "CUT" & which is equivalent to "DRIVE"? thanks very much Carmine.

Met Butch Patrick recently at a horror expo & he had said season 1 was doing incredible in terms of sales & expect to see season 2 sometime in february 2005.
