Gamma on consumer tv

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I got myself anche LG c7 TV and while going through the menu i've noticed that by default It's set to have a 2.2 gamma. The other options are 1.9, 2.4 and bt1886. 

The made me wonder and i checked some Friends TV (don't remember the model nor the maker) and either didn't have any option or was defaulting to 2.2. 

So i ask, is It stll revelant to calibrate to 2.4 our reference display?

If tvs are setting they'r display to 2.2 and most of the people aren't going to change It, would not be better to calibrate to 2.2?

What you think?

Cheers,

Orash

I'd urge you to stick to the industry adopted standards. 

This is nothing new under the sun;  the same problems existed in motion picture film distribution. Theatrical venues varied widely from theater to theater in color temp and screen brightness (among other things) and even film labs didn't totally conform to agreed SMPTE standards, but at least everyone had a common nodal point around which to cluster in regards to what constituted an acceptable quality image.

If we start independently chasing the latest whim of TV manufacturers, there will be quite a mess.
