/cool/warm/.... what setting? (1 Viewer)

[bruce Hilbert]

I have had my 65h81 for a week now.
I dont know enough about this setting to mess with it. I have gone through VE to set brightness,tint,contrast, etc. But not sure about the setting for cool/warm/... About all I do know is that it is for grey scale settings. Who can tell me what there setting are for this RPTV.

It really depends on how the TV is calibrated... NTSC is designed for 'WARM' 6500k temperature. If your TV isn't calibrated, the WARM setting could be way off 6500Ks

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything documented that I could read on this? Webpage maybe?

Check out this great HDTV site, called Keohi HDTV..
this is the site that talks about the 6500k temperature: http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/usefulinfo/why6500k.html

You might want to check out the Toshiba forum at www.hometheaterspot.com.
I have a 50H81 and used the greyscale steps in AVIA to decide on a Medium setting. Warm looked brownish and cold looked blueish. Pop in AVIA or VE and find the pluge pattern with the step pattern and switch between the settings. Pick the one that looks the most grey or natural to you. If you don't have AVIA or VE you could probably use a B&W movie.

Brent Butterworth (Video 1995) and Jeff Cherun("Home Theater" Magazine 1998) both wrote about the 35" Toshiba (mine) and 36" Toshiba Direct-view TV's, respectively

. . . settled on the "warm" color temperature setting, as it most closely resembled the NTSC standard of 6,500 degrees Kelvin.

So, I choose the "warm" setting for my Toshiba 50H81 - and since I had my 35" Toshiba to the side of my 50H81, visually comparing the two was very easy and that comparison finalized my decision to use "warm", because all the VE / AVIA test patterns and DVD movies looked correct**!!
Interestingly, prior to calibrating your video, if you choose the "Movie" Mode, it does 2 things that you want:
1) Turns-off (disables) SVM
2) Chooses "Warm" temperature
