Hi
Just tried out my new cc30R filter for my Sony VW11HT from 'Enhanced Home Theater'.
I didn't get the SMART software or photo cell, so I've spent the last couple of hours making adjustments by eye.
I think I've done done a pretty good job and the blacks are much better.
However, I was surprised at how little I needed to increase the blue & green gains to get a colour temperature that appeared similar to the factory 'low' setting. Oh, and I'm colour blind!
I've left the red gain at 185 (I believe with the VW11 its best not to max this out).
The green gain I've increased from 107 to 125.
The blue gain I've increased from 94 to 116.
If anyone has already done this and started out with similar gains in the factory 'low' setting, can you tell me if this sounds about right. Or does it sound like I've made a complete dogs dinner of it.
I used the Notting Hill DVD to compare flesh tones, and the grey steps in THX optimode on SW Episode I.
I really can't afford the whole SMART kit at the moment, so any words of wisdom here would be very much appreciated.
