You should see uniform steps in the gray scale with only the darkest one being black. Secondly, your complaints about color being washed out tell me that you are looking subjectively for uncalibrated overly saturated color. To get (approximately) calibrated color, you first need to get the gray scale correct, then view the color bars through a blue filter and adjust hue (tint) and saturation (color) to get all the blue-containing colors to have the same amount of blue (looking the same through the blue filter) as shown on this page:

My guess from your comments is that you will not like this accurate setup, but at least it gives you a known starting point for adjusting towards your preference. |
You are right, I do adjust everything by eye, but do not worry I know oversaturation when I see it. I adjust everything to get the most natural looking picture (NOT what you can see in department store where every TV are on torch mode with cartoonish colors). That being said, the reference picture you saw where at the low brightness and contrast setting for convergence adjustement, and are not the setting I use to "test" the TV normaly.
