Mitsubishi HC7900DW Projector Calibration and Settings 2

Average Gamma:        2.17

Mike’s Notes: None of the preset gammas gave you anything close to 2.2, so the custom gamma settings must be used if you want a gamma in the 2.2 to 2.3 range.  The High Bright color temp cannot be selected as a reference color temp in the A/V Memories, so there no way to get a high brightness quick cal, but the High Bright color temp adds so much green, you wouldn’t want to use it anyway.  The best bet is to use the Cinema mode with Brilliant Color turned on (which makes it pretty much the same as Game mode) if you need extra lumens for daytime sports.  Another option is to turn Contrast up to 10, which gives you another 100 lumens in Cinema mode. 

Calibration settings:
A/V Memory 1 mode with User Color temp (Medium color temp reference).  Gamma on User 1 – Reference 2.2, set to All, and set at -4 from 20-90%, Lamp on Standard, Brilliant Color off, Iris on Auto 1

RGB settings (default is 0 for all)

Calibration settings:
A/V Memory 1 mode with User Color temp (Medium color temp reference).  Gamma on User 2.2, Lamp on Standard, Brilliant Color off, Iris On, All else at default

More of Mike’s comments:

There are two color gamut settings (see the CIE charts), Wide and Normal, with the main difference between the two being an oversaturated Green on the Wide setting.  As a result, colors don’t change much going from one gamut to the other.
