How to Calibrate an HDTV?

**nrdstrm** · 06-26-07, 02:46 AM

I noticed on AVS forum most seem to use Avia....Is there a better solution? I havn't tried either but tomorrow night I'll use Avia to test...I was just wondering if there was something better that I don't know about...

For DVD and now HD-DVD a lot of people use DVE (Digital Video Essentials) to fine tune their HDTV.

The best bet is to have it professionally calibrated. Avia is ok and will get it better than factory default, which is horrendous.

After many hours of online research and calibration sessions I have found the perfect settings for my Sony Bravia 46" HD LCD TV Model Number: KDL-46V25L1
These settings look great on both the XBox 360 Elite via HDMI and also on the PS3 via HDMI.

Mode - Custom
Backlight - 5
Picture - 93
Brightness - 50
Color - 50
Hue - 0
Color Temp - (Warm1) or (Warm2) you choose
Sharpness - 8
NR - Off

Black Corrector - Off
Advanced CE - Off
Gamma - Low
Clear White - Off
Live Color
Color Space - Normal
Display Area - Full Pixel
Power Saving - (Low) or (Off) for more brightness, so it's not so dark.
Light Sensor - Off

This might work on other models besides mine give it a try!

They might not work on the same model either. No two TV's are alike.

So what is better to use? DVE or Avia?

Don't you dare ask that question on the AVS Forum. It's suicide.
