@Xenokai360 How do you turn off special features? I’ve got a Dynex 24” HDTV that I use to play xbox on and it lags a tiny bit

@Sweettooth1811 Turn off extra features of the tv. i suggest turning all of them off even if it looks worse then calibrate it should all come back together. extra processing for extra features can cause display lag. Common stuff like contrast boosters and auto white level feature cause this so can noise reduction. Extra features on tv’s are usally there to try and help grab people in stores and usally makes the screen worse at home. Also if you have low power mode turn it off.

@DIRTYCHEESE Some newer tv’s contrast boxes wont disappear. If that happens then you adjust it till its not to white. Just turn it down till its start to dim and set it to your preference. If you get the disappearing boxes then its even easier to set.

Wow very nice video man. Your info was clear, you linked a video thank you! I have been gaming with my xbox trying to find a good picture, and no matter what i do it’s edgy, too dark, too bright. I am trying this technique now and I’ll comment if this works.

@seriouswerious Just leave it all obn warm. Swicthing color temp when wacthing diffrent channels will confuse the human eye. One will look more red and one more blue but Warm is the NTSC standard for all video.

I have my HDTV’s Color Temp set to Warm for playing games and movies and they look great, but what about watching tv Channels ? every now and then i watch a few HD Channels i get (digital broadcasts over the air i think) and find it hard to choose between the medium and Warm Color Temp. Any idea what i should choose? Thanks

Some good tips except that on some screens go by too fast. Also, the hip hop music almost killed it for me.

The THX thing is pretty basic, if you want something 100% accurate on all settings you could buy DVE (digital video essentials) for around £10 . Of course if you don’t want to pay I guess this is the next best thing.
