Sanyo PLV-Z4000 Post Calibration Grayscale1

The limited RGB settings (only one for each color) on the Z4000 primarily affect the middle ranges, and have less effect at the extremes (20 and 100 IRE). That is the same, it seems as the older Z3000, but Mike indicated that the Z4000 may have a little more affect on the ranges, than it's predecessor, which would make sense considering the numbers above.

We did not use Dynamic Gamma in our calibration. It does have noticeable impact on grayscale balance as well as gamma. Integrating Dynamic Gamma in, makes for a far more time consuming calibration.

Since the measured (regular) gamma without using Dynamic Gamma was 2.17, and 2.2 is ideal, this is about as close to dead on, as you will get.

RGB Settings

These are the adjustments we made to Red, Green and Blue for the grayscale balance of the Pure Cinema mode, and should be fine for Creative Cinema as well, though not confirmed. The two modes measure slightly differently, but that may be attributable to their different default lamp modes.

Calibration settings:
We set up User 1 based on a Pure Cinema starting point, Contrast on 3, Brightness on 0, Color on –8, Tint on 1, Gamma on –1, Lamp on Normal, Iris on Fixed at –60 (You'll want the iris opened and dynamic).

Lumens measured were a mere 234, but that's with the iris at -60... Pure mode is theoretically for "purists" those who would not use a dynamic iris.

Resulting color temperature of white for Pure (or Creative) Cinema: 6571K (almost perfect).
These settings are virtually identical to our Z3000 settings, but the results sure are definitely different (better now).

Resulting color temperature of white: 7180K (defintely a little cool, but looks great, especially for sports).
