Hi all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to video, and having just purchased myself a spanking new 34 inch Toshiba TV (the model's called BOMBA here in Asia), I'm anxious to get it calibrated. I've compared between a calibrated model and my own, and can visibly see the difference. I have to admit though, having been watching uncalibrated TV's for the past 26 years of my life, has left me for a taste of staring at overbright pictures. Having said that, I would like to know what one has to look out for in a good picture? I remember seeing a LOEWE once in England during my student days and I was amazed by the picture quality it had. The feeling I cannot quite describe, but the feeling of awe and amazement that kept me tranfixed at the set for a good half hour just looking at the picture left a lasting impression on me.
I've also read enough to know that calibration is not easy, and it requires professional expertise to perform the task. However, is there anything that a layman (read myself) can do to adjust the picture myself? Well, not that I want to but splashing out the for the set has left a considerable hole in my bank account, and can only do the calibration when my next paycheck comes.
I will assume that most of you will tell me to leave it alone, and wait till I have the cash to do it, but there has to be something that I can do in the meantime...
All things aside, I would like to know what goes on during the calibration process, and if anyone can direct me to any links or be willing to answer on this forum, I am grateful.
thanks,
Joseph.
