Making Those Colors Pop with HDTV CalibrationApparently, Miller was even hired by Hitachi as a consultant to give the company advice on their HDTV color calibration. Still, you don't really have to spend hundreds on the calibration of your HDTV if you have a good eye for colors, contrast, and brightness. A HDTV is still a TV, just like the older analog models after all. Setting the Features You should avoid making the picture overly bright for one thing. This may be somewhat difficult to judge, but a good idea might be to pop in a DVD with an even mixture of night (or at least dark) scenes and day scenes. You may want to try a classic black-and-white film to check the contrast and brightness as well. Too much of a good thing can be bad, especially with contrast and brightness, as it can produce a grainy image. Plus, overdoing it can shorten the life-span of a plasma HDTV. Colors can be a lot easier to figure out if you have a knack for it. Just be sure to shut off the presets and extra features before doing anything. Hopefully, you have an image or scene with which you're familiar for your HDTV calibration. Something with strong reds and blues may make things easier (like an American flag for example) to adjust those particular settings. After all, too much red turns blue purple and visa versa. You also might want to freeze a nature scene with grass and bright flowers if you're adjusting your green levels. If the flowers start turning sickly, you know you're greens are too strong. There are some online guides and instructional DVDs for anyone who wants to do their own HDTV calibration, so give it a shot! You can always reset your settings and call in the professionals if it doesn't work out. |
