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 (grayscale) and color management adjustments (where available).

While experimenting with the user menu controls can do no damage and can easily be reset, we do not provide settings for service menu adjustments. Random alterations of such controls without detailed knowledge of what they do may corrupt a projector’s firmware. This will likely require extensive in-shop repairs that aren’t covered under the warranty.

We strongly recommend that you find the optimum basic video settings for your sample by using one of the many display setup Blu-rays that are available, such as DVE HD Basics or Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark, 2nd Edition. A full calibration, particularly of the grayscale 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.
