DR MBarnum, here's td's helpful hint of the day:
Whenever I calibrate my set(s), or re-calibrate, I always pick one specific movie on dvd, a film with a color scheme that is not muted, but vibrant, a look which I would recognize in a minute. I have never really used the THX Optimizers on Disney and other dvds, since going with a personal favorite has always done the trick for me. Not knowing what is in your dvd library, I can't make the suggestion as to what you should try. . .I know that "The Night They Invented Champagne" sequence in GIGI has been one of my most popular choices: it has vibrant REDS(which I don't want to be tomato soup orange or bleeding), deep BLUES (which I don't want to appear as blacks), rich TEXTURES (which I don't want to lose the detail on), indoor lighting (which should not be 'blooming") and three actors with varying degrees of SKIN TONES.
While you're calibrating, have a pad and pencil handy to write down the settings, then put that paper somewhere where you'll KNOW where it is should you ever have to re-tweak. . .
