How to Calibrate an LCD TV

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, and I'm going to show you how to calibrate your LCD TV. Well, we've got a forty-two inch Philips LCD monitor right here, and I'll show you how we calibrate it, we do it often 'cause it's important that the colors match some specific things that we deal with here. But on your end you're going to find that it's going to be a lot of personal preference. Now, obviously your television unless you have this particular model of Philips is going to be different so please refer to either your online manual or maybe you've kept your owner's manual or send off to the TV companies, they'll send it out to you, in fact they forgot to sell us this remote and they sent us one for free, they're pretty good guys out there. So the first thing we want to do is go to where you can find it, now that would usually be in a menu function over here. We're going to go down to settings assistant because in this particular case it'll actually help you go through the different things. Now in this - go through the different steps, as opposed to knowing technical information about calibration. So as I hit this here, this particular setup assistant is going to allow us to go through and make some choices. And we're going to see what we like and choose from it. So in this case we'll look and say do we like the right or the left side? There are no right and wrong choices, left side, or right side, it's like being at the eye doctor, better or worse? Once you make the suggestions, it'll actually compile the information and create a screen profile that you like to see. So, remember, follow your setup procedures, calibration will be listed inside the computer, or inside there, excuse me, inside the monitor rather. It's almost always accessed through a remote control, if you don't have it or you need some advice, definitely call the manufacturer directly, they're usually more than happy to help you through it, it's not a complicated thing inside the main menu functions, and I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert saying I'll stream you later."
