In this 2 Minute Miracle Video, Geek Squad Master Installer Jason Koski explains what TV calibration is, and how it will affect the image quality of your TV.
@TheeMidnightMarauder Yeah if you have the proper equipment and training which will cost you over 8K. That or you can just spend under $200 to have someone do it for you.
Did this fucken guy say "TV's are designed for in store use"? TV's are designed for consumer use bro. You should never buy a TV by the way it looks in the store because they are all boosted up, not to fight the "FLOURECENT" light, but fighting against each other (THe TV's that is). The manufacturer knows bigger, brighter, and louder sells. Shop by specs and Native contrast ration, not dynamic contrast ratio. Dont waste your money on calibrations, buy a DVE blu ray and do it yourself.
The whole gray scale calibration thing, sometimes won't yield good results. Most modern day hdtv's have a color gamut with over saturated pushed reds and greens, to compensate for a bluer gray scale, like "cool" color temp. Once a tv is calibrated to true 6500k by a geek, you may not like what you see. The 6500k standard and rec709 color is rather dull looking, and once the grayscale is 6500k, the red push that could be built into the decoder will show its ugly face. This isnt always the case.
The purpose of the "home" and "store" setting when you get a new tv is so that the user controls (brightness, contrast, etc.) will reset after a minute or so on store mode, so when people fuck with it at a store, it will go back to the bright settings or "store diplay" settings that manufacturers want.
