I got a new Samsung LN-T4061F 40" LCD HDTV yesterday to replace the almost dead 42" HD rear projection set I had. I have a couple of questions in calibration.
First of all I am using my Avia guide to home theater DVD to calibrate and mainly talks about tube tvs. I just skipped the part about the power supplies etc and used it only to set the brightness contrast etc is that ok? Or is there a newer calibration DVD I should use that I should use thats more LCD friendly?
Secondly I using one component input (upconverting DVD player and Wii switched through a receiver) and the HDMI connected to a directv HD dvr. I did the calibration on the component with the DVD player set at 480I. Can I move those settings over to the HDMI, or should I plug the HDMI into the DVD player and run through the DVD again. If so should I run it at 480I or go up to 1080I using the DVD up conversion. I assuming I want to run it at 480I.
I will eventually get a second HDMI cable for the DVD player once I get my setup figured out.
