Optoma HD23 Projector Calibration and Settings 2

Excellent results in User our “best” mode, also very good in Cinema – our “brightest” mode selection!  Numbers are degree’s Kelvin.

Average gamma= 2.24

Lumens at 100 IRE:     1117                           713

So, how did we get such excellent numbers – and color accuracy?  Easy, just plug in these settings into your HD23 projector.  You may not notice any great differences, as the Optoma’s rather excellent right out of the box, especially for such a low cost projector.

Mike provided these additional notes, regarding the ability to calibrate different settings, limitations, etc.:

NOTE: Grayscale calibrated very well with both modes, but was really excellent in User mode.  However, gamma was smoother in Cinema mode.  I did both Cinema and User because I felt that skin tones looked better in User mode than they did in Cinema mode.  The trade off is the big drop lumen output in User mode.  Delta E was excellent with both modes as well.  As was the case with the HD33, the CIE graph is better than a lot of DLP projectors that have undersaturated or yellowy-greens.  It was particularly accurate in User mode, easily equal to more expensive projectors.
