LG CF3D Color Temperature

Color Temp over IRE Range (Best Mode, Pre calibration):

Cinema (or Expert 1 and 2)                                   

30 IRE            8037K                                               
50 IRE            7675K                                               
80 IRE            7424K                                                                                                           
100 IRE          7079K                                          

For those interested, here are the color temperature measurements (and lumens) for white (100 IRE), for each of the preset modes

Lumen Output and Color Temp at 100 IRE (mid zoom):

Vivid= 1572 @ 11327           
Standard= 1843 @ 8290
Natural= 1843 @ 8200
Cinema= 1929 @ 7079
Sport= 1808 @ 8486
Game= 1870 @ 8188, on Natural Color Temp= 2347 (highest lumen output of all picture modes)
Expert 1 and 2= 1843 @ 7076

LG CF3D Post Calibration Grayscale

These are the results of Mike's calibration. It's about as good a grayscale as one could hope for with no significant variation from the targeted 6500K.

Color Temp over IRE Range (Post calibration):

                                    Expert 1                       

20 IRE                        6596                                   
30 IRE                        6559                                   
40 IRE                        6363                                   
50 IRE                        6454                                   
60 IRE                        6533                                   
70 IRE                        6436                                   
80 IRE                        6475                                   
90 IRE                        6554                                   
100 IRE                      6600                                   

Average gamma=             2.31

LG CF3D RGB Settings

To get the results above, these were the settings Mike reported:

Calibration settings for Expert modes:
Gamma on High for Expert 1, All other settings on default or as previously stated.

 

Expert 1 (Warm Color Temp)            Quick Cal Expert 2 (Natural Color Temp)           

Contrast (Gain)                        R = 20                                                 R = 40
                                                G = 0                                                   G = -40
                                                B = -45                                                B = 0
                                                                       
Brightness (Offset)                  R = 18                                                  R = 20
                                                G = -1                                                  G = -20
                                                B = -37                                                B = 0
