HC7800D User Mode AV1, Post Calibration

Mike's Notes: Unfortunately, Mitsubishi has decided to not allow access to even basic settings like Brightness and Contrast in anything but the A/V Memories.  You can’t even change the lamp setting in anything but the A/V Memory modes.  Turning Brilliant Color on increases lumen output, to the detriment of grayscale.  Calibrating with BC on brings the lumen output down close what it is with BC off.  Grayscale was quite good after calibration. 

Using the 2.4 gamma setting increases average gamma to 2.34, so there’s no stock setting that gets gamma into the 2.2 range.  It can be achieved with the custom gamma settings however.  High Brightness cannot be selected as a reference color temp in the A/V Memories, so there no way to get a high brightness quick cal.  The best bet is to use an A/V Memory with BC on, but that’s only 150 lumens above the calibrated mode.

There are two color gamut settings (see the CIE charts), Wide and Normal, but there’s not a lot of difference between them.  Both have an expanded Green gamut.  Overall, colors look pretty good in either gamut.
