Samsung SP-A600 Projector Calibration and Settings

Samsung SP-A600 Color Temperature

We used Movie 1 mode as the basis for calibration. Results were then saved in User 1, which was used for all photo sessions unless otherwise noted. We refer to User 1 as Movie

1).Pre-calibration, the color temperature measurements came out like this:

As you can see, all readings are below the ideal 6500K, and therefore warm - shifted to red. The Samsung isn't off a great deal, but enough to affect skin tones and many scenes with just a tad too much red.

Samsung SP-A600 Basic Settings

In addition to calibrating Red Green and Blue for a correct grayscale balance (6500K), there are a number of other settings that come into play. Typically Contrast and Brightness (white balance and black balance), need to be done first. Color saturation and gamma also need adjustment.

* After significant viewing, Art recommends a color saturation setting of 44 if you use Film gamma and 44 if Video gamma is selected.

Samsung SP-A600 Post Calibration Grayscale: Movie 1 (User 1) mode

Post calibration, we ended up with excellent grayscale balance which was evident, when watching the SP-A600.
