snorkel 15 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I don't have a shield. I use an HTPC that's connected through my receiver, via USB-C to HDMI, from displayport through the Thunderbolt 3 controller. LOL, OK Must have confused you with someone who mentioned a shield in this thread. I bet you use those muffler bearings on your car as well LOL.

I bet you use those muffler bearings on your car as well LOL. Lol...yeah, I like exceeding my demands. Using the Thunderbolt 3 controller gives me 40Gb/s as opposed to the 18Gb/s that HDMI 2.0 provides. HDMI 2.1 is supposedly able to handle 10k, 48Gb/s. That'll be interesting to experiment with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ooooo, apparently my port can handle 8k. The GPU can't, but USB-C looks like the face of the future. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/03/new-displayport-1-4-standard-can-drive-8k-monitors-over-a-usb-type-c-cable/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6766 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 My LG OLED gets delivered next week...can't wait! Which model? I have about 100 4K movies ready to go! Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcorwin 7 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Which model? The 65” C7P. I was going to go for the B7A, but I’m getting it for the same price. Getting it professionally calibrated as well. I have a high-end meter and used to do it myself, but the display tech has exceeded my skill set haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diedrich 355 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Getting it professionally calibrated as well.Where? How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcorwin 7 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Where? How?Normally I would have someone come to my home with their calibration equipment, but with this retailer, Value Electronics, I don’t have to. It’s really the holy grail of American consumer electronics stores. The owner, Robert Zohn, has been a well known industry expert and enthusiast for years. Each year he hosts a TV shootout to crown a winner of best display. It’s attendend by heavy hitters in both the TV display industry and display calibration. It’s usual written about by CNET, Sound & Vision and others. One of the services he offers, for a fee, it’s professional calibration. Once you place an order they test a TV for any flaws and then have an in-house expert fully calibrate it before shipping it out. So not only do you get the benefits of calibration, but you also have the piece of mind knowing it was thoroughly inspected before being sent to you.

Guest asrequested Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Impressive. How do you let them what your viewing environment is like? Edited February 20, 2018 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 368 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Great service, but to fully get the benefits of your calibration, your own source equipment's must also be used to fully benefit from that calibration. Every piece of hardware has different video output in color/tone mapping and with a true ISF calibration, the expert calibrating your display should connect every hardware you want to use as source with your display and use your source equipment during calibration. This way, individual color user profiles can be to created on your display for each device connected and also, to create individual color user profiles for different lighting conditions in the room your display is in, to suit daylight or night conditions. But it is a nice starting point, that display flaws from factory calibration are ironed out, before you receive your TV.

No, not really. Especially with 4K and HDR. You would use a dedicated pattern generator. Also, ISF Day and Night will have a target luminance for each with a meter placed directly against the screen without requiring any variations for ambient light. The only variations with my source equipment I should be concerned with is disabling any post-processing and choosing the correct color space.

jrcorwin 7 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Impressive. How do you let them what your viewing environment is like? No real need to. Target ftL for dark room is fairly standard at 30-35. Bright room is generally 45 or so. I can simply give them what numbers work for me as well, as I have experience calibration in my home with calMAN and Chromapure and my i1D3 meter.
