Heron Fidelity

Independent video and audio calibration for TVs, projectors, and home theaters to bring out the best in your picture and sound.

LG E6 OLED paired with a Teranex Mini SDI-HDMI LUT box. Programmed using Calman Ultimate software + Klein Instruments K10-A colorimeter.

The client will soon replace that classic OLED with a Sony QD-OLED.

It's always a pleasure seeing the post-calibration results of an LG OLED (C1 pictured.) This particular unit is for in-house video production at a local establishment.

The DeltaE errors for the SDR color-checker test results were <1.0 (excellent/reference quality.) 😎

This 2022 Sony A95K QD-OLED television tuned up beautifully, and I especially appreciated its zippy processor that felt significantly faster during the #calibration process.

The Cine 13 monitor features a rugged/portable design w/many input types and signal visualizations that content creators need during production. Its measured max luminance exceeded 1500 nits + it calibrated for BT.709/2.4 gamma to reference levels 😎

Today on our YouTube channel, we're live streaming the picture quality optimization of an LG #OLED television. We'll examine related settings, techniques, and hw/sw tools.

The stream starts at 4 pm Pacific/7 pm Eastern 😎

Samsung's Micro LED display demo was impressive: ~5000 nits of light output, "perfect" contrast, superb color saturation, a robust (inorganic) light source, and insane response time. Prices will be $$$, but it's good to see these beasts in the wild.

In case you missed the memo from DTS, LG's 2023 OLEDs including C3 & G3 can now decode DTS internally, a functionality that has been missing since 2020's CX & GX series. LG C9 was previously the last model to be able to decode DTS.

I wouldn't consider a home theater TV purchase that didn't feature quantum dot tech's potential for near laser-like color quality. LCD and OLED TVs continue to push brightness levels to new heights, and the same must happen for accurate, life-like color saturation.

We recommend all OLED owners get at least 120 hours of display use before calibration - ideal for break-in/stabilization or potential need to exchange.

*Most LG TVs will display the Total Power On Time in the General > About This TV > TV Information screen (or thereabouts.)

This LG CX #OLED has more than 5000 hours on it, and its HDR performance tuned up nicely!

@ASUS I was going for video calibration (using my Asus notebook!)

The other day, I worked on the SDR calibration of a 2020 LG CX OLED television and was delighted with the results.

Every C- or G-Series LG OLED TV made in the last few years can do reference-quality imagery.

Some HOTD scenes have been near unwatchable even on an absolute top end LCD TV, so can only imagine how it looks on the mid-range and low-end LCD TVs most people own. Creator’s intent surely shouldn’t mean ignoring the capabilities of most living room screens this wilfully.

If you need a supersized screen for your home theater and projection isn't an option, there are a few 98-inch LCD/QLED options out there, including this 4K TCL R754:

Update: I was disappointed with the factory calibration of this #ProArt monitor. Also, it has only two programmable (calibration) presets and minimal adjustments for existing presets. Hard to recommend for the price.

[Heron Fidelity @heronfidelity]

Looking forward to spending some quality time tomorrow with the @ASUS #ProArt PA32UCX 4K monitor:

1200 nits (peak brightness)
1152 zones of local dimming (mini-LED backlight)
99% DCI-P3 color
HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision
