Evaluation
When
you're done, hopefully one mode will have the most boxes checked,
and
most
of
the time that will be the preferred
mode
to
use. In some cases, you may
find
that
one specific issue
is
more distracting for you
than
the others,
and
in
that
case you'll
want
to choose among the modes
that
doesn't have that particular
problem. Set the player to the mode
that
has the
most
checks in it,
and
if
necessary
set your brightness, contrast, etc. to the numbers
you
wrote
down
previously for
that
mode.
Finishing
up
At
this point, you have completed the core picture adjustments. It's a good idea to
run
through
the
entire set
of
patterns, quickly, just to check that everything
is
still
correct. Some displays may have interactions between the Contrast, Brightness,
and
Color
controls (and even other controls like Sharpness), so it's possible
that
you
may
need to make small tweaks to the controls
on
the second pass
through
them.
Once
you feel confident that the controls are all set properly, it's a good idea
to write
down
the calibrated settings along with notes
about
the date, equipment,
and
viewing conditions. Save these settings somewhere safe so you can quickly
apply
them
if
the display gets reset for any reason.
If
you
tend
to watch
under
several viewing conditions, such
as
a brighter "day"
environment versus a dark "night"
environment,
you
may
want
to
run
a calibration
in
both
conditions
and
compare the differences. Usually they will be similar,
but
you
may
find
that
Brightness needs to be
turned
up
a few notches in a bright
environment to compensate for the extra light falling
on
the screen.
If
your display
has multiple picture memories, you can store the two calibrations in
them
and
switch
as
needed.
If
your display does
not
have multiple picture tnemories,
you
can leave the calibration set for whichever environment you use the most,
or
the environment where you watch the most high-quality material,
or
