My 500M needs help... please.

[litlgi74]

Hello All...

I was very excited to get the patch for my 500m... hoping my display would benefit from the additional tweaks.

Using D-Nice's settings for ISF Day and Night... My set is very dull in color and lacks snap in every way... In fact, most 1080P content looks soft and SD like...

Now I know that breakin is important when using D-Nices's settings... but my wife simply won't allow it. :)

My Blu Ray player is the Oppo BDP-83... with all color management set to 0 or defaults... Should I consider making adjustments there?

I simply can't believe that this display is supposed to like like this!

Please help...

:hiya:

Time for proper calibration... :D

I thought you have a meter???? :confused:

I would also go back in and verify your ISFccc Settings for that memory.. is that isf Day or isf Night?

btw, what Build Month is your KRP-M?

I think there is some Oppo-83 adjustments posted by D-nice too, I'll see if I can find them.


EDIT: What is your Energy Save/Power Save setting?

I thought you have a meter????

I do... DTP94... I purchase a copy of CalMAN Home.. I just haven't had the time to dedicate a few hours to it yet... I think I would like to get a USB-UIRT for a more guided approach. I tried the CalMAN HTPC pattern generator... But I am a Mac guy, so running CalMAN and ControlCal in VMware is a little challenging. So I tried using Controlcal on my wife's PC laptop and CalMAN on my Mac via VMWare... it is definitely a challenge. So I tried AVSHD disc... but I am really not sure I am using the right CalMAN screen in the CalMAN Windows section of the DVD... they really don't match the examples.

I would also go back in and verify your ISFccc Settings for that memory.. is that isf Day or isf Night?

I tried both... and checked the memory... twice! :(

btw, what Build Month is your KRP-M?

Wow... October 2008!!!

I think there is some Oppo-83 adjustments posted by D-nice too, I'll see if I can find them.

That would be awesome... I have been looking but could seem to find any.


Seriously... if the ISF settings were what was displayed at the store... I would never have purchased this set... The movie "UP" in ISF mode looks terrible when compared to the default Optimum or Game mode. :(

On the KRP-M, what is that 'Input Setup' as (all those settings)

[litlgi74]

Hey Turbe...

I am not sure what you are asking...

I am using D-Nice's settings at http://www.controlcal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413

[Turbe]

use the Owner's Remote Control and goto HOME MENU | INPUT SETUP

Post the settings for the Input you are using.

[litlgi74]

Is this what you are looking for?

[litlgi74]

Why did you need the input settings? Any help on the Oppo settings?

[Turbe]

Try settings Video (under Input Setup) to 16-235.

If needed, try setting it to 0-255.

Any change?
