In Reply to: Is calibration necessary for me? posted by tjdjok on February 17, 2003 at 20:15:33:
The S&V disc has some DTS on it, which I don;t think the Avia disc has. The Avia also has a bit more content on it. It depends on how serious you are. If you are very serious you would have both discs and still have the set professionally callibrated. Me I don't think I would bother with professional callibration unless I had an expensive TV where it would make the most sense.As someone else noted just even setting some of the controls yields quite a bit of difference. I'm talking just contrast, brightness, and sharpness. You would do well to check out the S&V disc. But in a pinch the THX setup on some movie DVDs is better than nothing, IMHO. I think that lets you at least set brightness, contrast, and sharpness, IIRC. It at least has the first two. Again better than nothing.
Most TVs are shipped with their factory settings for contrast and brightness in showroom TORCH MODE. They are set way to high. Your TV sounds like a modern TV set. Most modern sets will remember a different setting for each video input. That was if you callibrate the input for your DVD player, it doesn't mess with the input for your VCR and vice versa. But I may be wrong on that.
