Alternative Way of Adjusting G2s (25EC58)

[TinCanAlley]

I did it in a dim room, but will do again at night to get it pitch black.

I did notice something when doing the G2s. I turned them all down, but the grayscale pattern I had up was tinted green. Is that supposed to happen? The green was pretty dark and when raising the green G2, it got a brighter green. Once I got that, I brought up the red til it was pretty much yellow and then the blue til it looked like a grayscale. I went back and forth with them until I saw no colors in the gray areas. From there I took the red tap from Hi to Med and the whites lost the red tint. So now the white are white and the grays are gray.

I find that when I adjust the controls according to the calibration DVD, it is too dim for normal viewing, so I adjust by eye from there. The DVD worked on a Toshiba 50" projection back in 2000 and a 65" projection in 2002. It also worked on all flatscreens, but I guess it wasn't designed for anything older.

I had the darn convergence pretty damn near perfect, but the center dot pattern showed it was off, so I did the center convergence and tried to touch up the rest. Didn't go as planned and now I have more areas with poor convergence. I guess the center convergence had a bigger effect on overall convergence than I thought it would. I would have left it as it was had I known.

I'll let you know how it goes when I do it in a completely dark room.
