Optoma HD806 Projector Calibration and Settings-2

The default color settings for User, are cooler than the defaults for Cinema mode. Unfortunately, the Optoma does not allow you to specify which preset's color settings you want to start with. So, we started with User, and ended up with a little wider swing in temperature range, than the default Cinema, but, despite that, a slightly better balanced image.

The default color settings for User, are cooler than the defaults for Cinema mode. Unfortunately, the Optoma HD806 does not allow you to specify a particular preset for the starting point in a calibration. So we started with what User served up, and ended up with a little wider swing in temperature range, than the default for Cinema. Despite that, we ended up with a slightly better balanced image, overall.

Gamma measured to 2.28, pretty close to the ideal 2.2 for movie watching. We did not measure different degamma's (Film, Video, etc.) Video, however nicely lowers the gamma to give a big more brightness to the mid and darker areas for better TV and sports type viewing.
