Modern TV-sets are capable of displaying near perfect images. High-Resolution digital TV-reception and modern display technology allow this amazing technology into your home like never before. Unfortunately, in many homes, the factory settings of the TV leave much to be desired! The TV may have been purchased cash-and-carry in order to make the cheapest possible deal. Or, it was delivered to the home, but the installer had neither the time nor knowledge to adjust and optimize the device to the home environment.

You would expect that a new TV is preprogrammed to give the best results. Nothing could be further from the truth. The factory settings (aka. Torch Mode) are not conducive to the home environment as they are usually made to please the eye when seen in the brightly light store. The difference in a home environment is huge. In this article,we show you how to calibrate your display at no cost, be it a TV or a computer monitor, through visual settings only. It’s simple and straightforward! Just follow the steps as suggested.

Check out our very basic YouTube Instructional Video on how to Calibrate an HDTV Display using the Spears & Munsil Blu-ray.

The Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark 4K Blu-ray is the latest release from Stacey Spears and Don Munsil. The two are synonymous with test discs, video evaluation, picture quality and have already released two previous Blu-rays that enthusiasts (and reviewers) have found invaluable when it comes to correctly setting up, evaluating and optimising high definition equipment. Spotted a sspears post in the LCD Display forum that a UHD Blu-ray test/calibration disc might not be available until 2017 (Spears-Munsil). Can think of many tests I'd like to see, including some that determine how good the upconversion from non-4k images is between displays. Motion resolution test patterns, available online now, could be useful.

Stacey Spears and Don Munsil, creators of the acclaimed Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark series of test and calibration discs, have announced the release of the UHD HDR Benchmark, a 4K Blu-ray disc dedicated to the calibration and evaluation of 4K Ultra HD (UHD) displays that support high dynamic range (HDR). The Spears & Munsil Hand Forged Video UHD HDR Benchmark Disc ($39.95) was developed for home theater novices and professional calibrators, alike. It provides one of the most comprehensive collections of test patterns and sample imagery yet available for 4K Ultra HD and HDR in a disc format.

There are professional installers that make TV and PC-monitor adjustments at high cost because:
(1) It's time-consuming to fully calibrate a TV.
(2) they use an expensive spectrophotometer/colorimeter that helps them adjust the colors exactly.

A perfect situation would be to have an Intel Computer stick or a mini PC connected to your TV in order to display the test images. If you have a Smart-TV, you can go directly to the websites suggested in this article in order to display the proposed pictures. Because there are so many links to various other sites in this article, embed the URL into text links for most of them so you know where it is you're navigating to. This is the easiest way since there is no need to download or to copy the images. You can also buy calibration discs, like Spears and Munsil HD Benchmark or Disney WOW. These are great resources, but this article is focusing on free, web-based options.

If the TV cannot go directly to the image websites, the first requirement is to have enough PC-knowledge to find these or other useful test images online and download them in *.jpg or *.png format and put them on a flashdrive. These can then be read by most modern TV’s or, in the worst case with the lack of a USB input, the images can be put on a DVD and then viewed using a DVD player.

Before adjusting your screen, it's important to have realistic viewing conditions. Avoid as many environmental disturbances as possible. It is a good idea to have two adjustments saved in your TV or monitor, one for night (low light) and one for day (high light) conditions. You can save and usually even label these as custom presets so you don't forget what they are for.

[Step 1] Brightness, Contrast and Tint settings

The first settings to adjust are the brightness and contrast. The best way to do this is with a particular black and white image only. These are the most important calibrations. The colors are set afterward and it will be much easier to do when the saturation and contrast are already set.

If you can go online with your TV (Smart TV) or monitor, click on the following image, or go to: PhotoFriday

The instructions on how to do the adjustments can conveniently be read on the image itself. Easy.

At the top of the image, you see a scale from black to white with 25 shades marked from A to Z. Here you have to work with brightness and contrast until you see them all just right. In addition, the two spheres and the upright bars show the extreme ends of the gray-scales further apart. The two spheres have three circles; you should barely be able to recognize ABC and XYZ. The same applies to the upright A and B / Z and Y.

Again, you need to adjust the brightness and the contrast of your monitor until tones that are lighter than full black are clearly distinguishable and tones immediately darker than very white are distinguishable from full white.
Alternatively, you watch this Youtube Video and use the B/W-image, but adjust Brightness and Contrast the way we explained it here.

In case you prefer to use the Youtube videos to do the calibrations, it is a good idea to stream them from your smartphone to your TV using a Chromecast- stick. In doing so, you do not copy from your smartphone, but the Chromecast takes it directly from your network! It's a first generation video.

[Step 1.1]

The first adjustment to correct is Contrast. You adjust it until you see the white (highlights) the best you can, until you can still see the three XYZ at near max. level. Check the three lightest tones only = 0, 8, 16.

[Step 1.2]

The next calibration setting is Brightness. Although we adjust contrast first, the brightness is without any doubt the most important adjustment. Look at the black level (shadows) and move the cursor until you distinguish the ABC levels – or in the video the 236, 245 and 255 levels.
With brightness set correctly, you go back to contrast and check this again because there is interaction between the two. Switch between brightness and contrast until you see ABC, XYZ or alternatively 0, 8, 16 and 236, 245 and 255 just about right.

Using the TV-menu, be sure to set the color(s) to 0.
