Bought a plasma tv today, used calibration numbers to set it.

Think that's legit? Samsung 51" plasma. I'm cheap with some things...
I don't understand the sharpness setting. avs
Sharpness at zero? Everything else is great.

I bought 2 of the Samsung 43" plasmas last week for the back two bedrooms---$298 each.

I will spend almost as much as the TVs in the next 3 years renting the frigging boxes from Cox--what a scam.

Yea, the service is expensive. We do the ATT Uverse, so it's wireless everything and pretty neat.
The speakers SUCK on these things. Guess I'll just use the stereo for sound.
The calibration numbers from that link are wildly different than what's preprogrammed, and it looks cool. Sharpness at 0 has to be a typo though.

Thanks for the link--I'm gonna play around with one of the sets. Most panels nowadays are "hot" coming out of the box--done for the bling factor as most folks don't know what a panel should look like.
I will be sad the day my Pioneer Elite Kuro 50" dies. It is quite possibly the best TV ever made.

For the top level settings, you can do better setting Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint yourself using a free pattern set like AVS HD 709. I think Samsungs have a blue mode for Color and Tint. Usually the warmest Color Temperature preset is the closest to reference. For gamma, try 2.2 or 2.4, or better still, BT.1886 if it's offered.
For the low level settings like White Balance, CMS, 10 point gamma, etc, plugging in someone else's settings will give you a different set of errors, often worse than not having done it at all.

The correct setting for sharpness is usually the one that disables it.

I saw that referenced in the avs link but idk what that is. I tried to use a reference image to geometrically calibrate my tube tv, but I never got it to work. Color on this plasma just didn't look good, but it looks pretty good now. Do you understand the sharpness at 0?

quote:No, it isn't. I worked for a major video display manufacturer. All that "sharpness" does is add artificial information that does not belong on a television that is LED digital, receiving a digital signal from your devices. Digital is 1s and 0s. You either get the signal or you don't. Sharpness is used for Analog signals, like Component. To prevent signal degradation, use high quality shielded cables to prevent crosstalk. Don't allow video cables to come in contact with electrical cables. This prevents interference.

If you need sharpness to improve a picture on a digital television, your television is likely either not of very high quality or it is a much older set. Think of a computer screen and your screen and computer resolutions match. It should look sharp as a tack. Same with a digital television.

The tv came with three magnetic looking shields you can clamp around a wire. I put everything through a single clip, I should pull the power cable out from the signal?
Posted on 8/29/14 at 8:30 pm to Gaston
Yep.

I have a terrible connection and can't pull the product page up, but consider the samsung gx-sm530cf instead of renting the cox boxes. No dvr. +cablecard HD tuning. $80-120 depending on where you get it. $0-2/mo for the cablecard.

Do the magnetic clips go on the signal or on the power input?
