I have a Hitachi 42HDT50 plasma with the following components attached:
VOOM receiver upconverting to 1080i
Hughes HD-HTL receiver upconverting to 1080i
Denon 5900 DVD player upconverting to 720p
After an ISF calibration (which I am very pleased with - this is not a complaint with the calibrator), and numerous attempts at calibration using the original DVE, DVE Digital, and AVIA, I cannot, for the life of me, eliminate what appears to be a somewhat "green tint" in the background of the picture.
It is evident when someone has blonde hair (the hair looks blonde with green highlights), it really shows up in black and white movies (most recently, The Snake Pit from Fox Studio Classics), and appears in the wave-action in Master and Commander.
This is really driving me crazy when I watch TV, and I would appreciate any help/suggestions you might have to eliminate what I would call "green push".
Note: I can eliminate it by turning down the green in my color decoder, but then my set is no longer properly calibrated for color.
Note 2: My Hitachi has quite a bit of control over color control. I have one set of controls called a "Color Decoder" that allows me to control Red, Green, and Tint. I have a completely different set of controls called "Color Management" that allows me to control (independent of the Color Decoder) Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
So, I have quite a number of controls to use to try to fix the problem. The "problem" is that I don't know how to go about fixing it, when the color bars of the various calibration discs indicate that my set is properly calibrated, and then I see this green tint in movies.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
