To get a better TV picture – Moss Avis

[Last] If newscaster looks sunburned out, your TV set incorrectly. Most new TVs need calibration, but only three out of ten do something about it.

Exaggerated colors

In order to get a new TV to show a natural image, it must be calibrated. Should it be done properly, you need a professional calibrator to change image settings and customize your TV to match lighting conditions should be in.

– To calibrate all about making TV able to recreate reality as it was when it was filmed, or to recreate the atmosphere filmmaker envisioned when the film was made, says says audiovisual expert Mihkku Tostrup in Elkjøp.

According Tostrup comes all new TVs exaggerated colors to stand out and impress potential buyers. It may look prettier, but the picture differs greatly from reality and can be tiring to watch.

Expensive equipment

Three out of ten Norwegians have calibrated the TV they bought recently, according to a YouGov survey. One in three has no relationship to the concept of calibration. Probably there are even fewer that have calibrated their TV sets.

– Many people think that they can change any settings on the TV and have it properly calibrated. Not so. This is a painstaking process that requires expertise and expensive equipment, says calibration expert Gorm Sorensen in PROCAL to the mission funded news agency Newswire.

Sunburned presenter

– Viewing newscaster in Dagsrevyen as if he comes straight from the solarium, you probably have a poorly calibrated TV. By proper calibration shall skintones look real. Both color of red cola label and green color of the grass to look like in real life, says Sørensen.

In many TVs are difficult to see what is hidden in darkness and in the brightest parties .

– It’s about to get a correct relationship between light and darkness. After calibration, more details emerge from the shadows and from the whites, says Sørensen.

– On berry-picking

Another typical “wrong” in new TVs is that they emit a little too powerful blue light.

– bluish can get a scene from warm Caribbean to see icy out, and it can be tiring for your eyes to deal with so much blue and bright light. Most new TVs are simply completely on berry-picking before being calibrated, says Sørensen.

Do this even

Even if properly calibration should be left to the experts, you can get a better picture by making some changes in the menus themselves.

– Most TVs have picture settings called “natural” or “movie mode” . They usually provide a more natural picture than “standard” and “dynamic”. Use “natural” by day and “Movie mode” at night, says Gorm Sorensen.

In addition, you should make some small adjustments to the picture menu.

– Turn “sharpness »completely. This function only creates noise on modern TVs. Do not touch “Brightness”, for this setting is usually correct. Turn instead slightly down “contrast” and “color,” says Gorm Sorensen. (ANB)
