Hello. I have a 111FD and just used ControlCal.
First, let me say that Turbe's support has been phenomenal. I ordered the bundle on a Saturday afternoon and had the cables on Monday! When I had questions re downloading the software and the profiles, the response was immediate.
Once I read the instructions, the actual use of the software was a piece of cake! And, most importantly, I love the picture ...
Of course, as a novice DIY-er, I do have some questions (i apologize if some/all are silly) ... so here goes:
1. I am using D-Nice's suggested settings from AVS forum (as a novice, I figure that's the best way to start out)... I noticed a couple of settings in the software that are not in D-Nice's settings: A. Y-delay - 0 and B. Zoom = 5. I know zoom has to do with the screen size setting; have no idea re the y-delay. I left both of these settings as is. Any problem?
2. After I ran the ISF-Day and ISF-Night settings (with just a couple of false starts!), I saved the settings, ended the calibrations (each time) and disconnected from the computer. But then I had an issue and had to unplug both the HDMI cable that runs from the cable box to the TV, as well as the TV's power cord itself. Now I'm worried that the setting I set up for ISF Day and Night got lost or changed. The HDMI cord was out less than 5 mins and the power cord about the same. May I assume the settings I ran are still "there" and haven't changed or been re-set (the modes are now active after I replugged in the TV).
3. Oh boy, then I had an issue with my receiver -- and unplugged that overnight! (The TV remained plugged in as did the cable box and HDMI cable to the TV from the cable box). I assume that since the TV remained plugged in, there will be no effect on the ISF settings from unplugging the receiver for roughly 18-24 hours...
4. I'm going to go back on AVS forum and re-check -- but are there suggested settings for ISF-Auto (I didnt see any, and so didn' t set up)?
5. Do you know if this is right: D-Nice's settings for Day and Night have gamma settings for R, G, B from 10-90%; controlcal has gammas 1-9; I assumed that 1 was 10%, 2 was 20% .... etc. -- is that right?
6. Finally, is the only way to check the ISF settings to go back in to controlcal and hit "refresh" on each of p1 and p2 to see if the settings are still the ones you want?
Sorry for the long post -- great software -- I appreciate any help/guidance. Thannks!
