Sony VPL-VW70 Projector Calibration and Settings-2

Now that’s about as pretty as it gets, with the whole measured range within 160K, and tightly around the target 6500K. No wonder skin tones are very natural looking!

Gamma (on 3) is 2.1, just a hair low the optimum 2.2 for movies. Changing gamma to 4 increased measured gamma to 2.4.

Dynamic settings (a “quick calibration”) We attempt to improve color accuracy without sacrificing too many lumens. The color accuracy therefore will not be as good as in Cinema mode:

Note: Brightness of Dynamic mode with these settings (and Iris Off, fully open), measured 633 lumens, and the color temperature at white (100 IRE) is 7210K a shift toward blue. I find that around 7000 – 7500K is a color temperature range that does well when trying to watch with a lot of ambient light present, and still yield respectable color – if a touch weak on reds. I like that temperature in general for sports in my room when I’ve got more than a little light.
