Samsung UN75ES9000 3D LCD HDTV Settings

Settings

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 white balance (gray scale) and color management (Samsung calls the latter Color Space, though it would be more technically correct to call it color gamut).

We strongly recommend that you find the optimum basic video settings for your sample by using one of the many display setup DVDs that are available, such as Digital Video Essentials (DVD) or DVE HD Basics (Blu-ray). A full calibration, particularly of the gray scale and color gamut, is best left to a trained and properly equipped technician, such as those certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) or THX.

Guys, are you sure that the 2D colour space settings quoted in the SETTINGS link are correct ? Looks like way too many ZEROS there where actual values should be. I tried those colour settings and they are WAY off.

The set is now long gone from our studio, but the values shown in the review agree with the settings in my notes.

You have undoubtedly run into the reason for the caution that always precedes our posted settings. That is, there is no guarantee that the settings that worked on our review sample will be appropriate for all possible samples of a given design, particularly units that may have been manufactured months apart. Our settings might work in some situations, but they are not intended as a substitute for professional calibration. That's the surest route to the best result.

Thanks Thomas, I understand completely the variance in panels and devices connected etc.

But what I don't get is how, say, the color space settings for Red can be ZERO, green can be ZERO etc. It just doesn't make sense, red should surely have some value around 35-50 for red and so on ??

Cheers
