Bring
up
the Color Temp pattern using the Blu-ray player remote. This pattern has
two rows
of
11
gray steps from black to white.
Now
run
through all
of
the available
color temperature settings
on
the display using the display remote
and
look at the
overall
tint
of
the gray steps. The goal
is
to pick the color temperature that looks
closest to a neutral white.
The proper calibrated white
point
is
065,
which
is
sometimes referred to
as
"6500K".
If
you have a setting with
one
of
those names, it's probably the best
choice.
If
there
is
nothing
with
either
of
those names, usually
if
there
is
a "Cinema'',
or
"Neutral" option,
that
is
often close to correct
and
is
a good choice.
If
that
is
not
offered,
"Computer"
or
"Normal" are
other
good choices. "Cool"
is
not
generally
a good choice,
as
commonly
it
sacrifices color accuracy to get higher light
output.
The correct color temperature setting may well look
dimmer
than
the others,
but
the brighter settings often have an overall blue color cast.
Choose a Final Color
Space
Many
current Blu-ray players offer a range
of
output
color spaces, for example
"4:2:2", "4:4:4", "RGB", etc.,
and
most displays can handle all
or
most
of
those
spaces.
At
some point, all video has to be converted to RGB,
and
the video
on
the
disc
is
always stored in 4:2:0 Y'CbCr, so the choice
of
which color space to
output
from the player
is
really a choice
as
to which device will do which portions
of
the
color conversion process. The whole conversion chain
is
4:2:0
Y'CbCr
to 4:2:2
Y'CbCr
to 4:4:4
Y'CbCr
to RGB (which
is
sometimes redundantly called "4:4:4
RGB").
In
real processing chips, some
of
those steps may be combined for speed,
but
conceptually those are
the
processing stages. So
if
you
output
4:2:2
Y'CbCr
from the player, the display will
do
the rest, converting to 4:4:4
Y'CbCr
and
then
to RGB.
You
might
think
that
it
shouldn't
matter
which device does the conversion,
but
it
turns
out
that
there can be large differences between different devices' color
