3D Projector Reviews

Unit-to-unit sample variations, the viewing environment, and the source might render these recommendations less than optimum. They are provided only as a potentially useful starting place.

The settings here that are most likely to translate reliably from one sample to another are those involving specific features with only a few setting options, such as Color Space, Gamma, and Noise Reduction. The ones most likely to be subject to sample variations are video controls offering a wide range of settings. This will be particularly true for color temperature (gray scale).

We strongly advise that you find the optimum basic video settings for your sample using one of the many display setup discs that are available, such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics (Blu-ray). A full calibration, particularly of the gray scale, is best left to a trained and properly equipped technician such as those certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) or THX. This is doubly important for a projector, for which there are variables that may make the settings listed here less useful than they might be for a flat screen plasma or LCD HDTV. These include the specific lamp and the hours on that lamp, the screen (design, size, and gain), and the projector’s lens settings (zoom/throw distance).

*Gamma Mode
Set to Reference 2.4 or 2.2 (depending on the source). All custom adjustments set to zero.
