I have a high end NEC computer monitor with auto calibration software. You place the measuring device on the screen, start the calibration software, pick your targets and hit go. Then you wait a few minutes while the screen adjusts itself. It is great and very easy.Autocalibration, on the other hand, sounds like a lovely feature for enthusiasts.
The problem is that whatever we call it, it remains a backlight led TV. In fact, the true qled was always about self emittive technology aka no need for backlight.
When this arrives, then oled will have a true competitor. Until then, you can have 10000 nits and you will still have the same problems
Hi @Steve Withers , a bit off topic but it's the only interesting LED news I've seen, I don't suppose you got a look at Sony's CLEDIS panels?
There is a bit more discussion on it over on AVSGood point. The only CLEDIS info I've seen from CES 2017 was a YouTube video from the Linus Tech Tips channel, showing the massive CLEDIS wall. It'd be interesting to see where this is in terms of development.
Samsung could do with moving some investment from advertising, to QC,As does the auto-banding-removal, auto-bleedfix, auto-rear-panel-re-affixing, and oh, wait...
:trollface:
Or should that be called (Samsung)?? _ LCD-LED, Nano Crystal, Quantum Dot, QLED-2017..... ZLED-2018??
I did and it looked amazing but it's only aimed at the professional market, so don't expect to see any CLED TVs any time soon.Hi @Steve Withers , a bit off topic but it's the only interesting LED news I've seen, I don't suppose you got a look at Sony's CLEDIS panels?

Though not much in the way of details other than each small panel being $5000 each so definitely not something coming anytime soon by the sounds of it but you never know. They also said it can do 1000nits of brightness on a full screen test pattern which is insane!

I wish calibrating my TV was so easy.
Still and LCD panel...
What what is up with brightness, brightness, brightness these days? My OLED is 600 knits I believe and when white seen comes on a TV during the night I get half blind....or when there's one really bright part of an image and I can't see anything else because of it....
A good TV does everything well, colour reproduction, black levels, motion handling, processing....
This I'm afraid is another marketing gimmick
Aside from the fact that they would need to run the TVs in for 50-100 hours first and any calibration done at the factory wouldn't take into account the environment that the TV was ultimately used in, it would also be time consuming and expensive. The Cinema/Movie THX modes on modern TVs are fairly accurate out of the box but actually calibrating each panel to DeltaEs (errors) of under 1 would definitely result in the TVs themselves being more expensive.I really don't understand why high end TVs aren't calibrated in such a fashion on the assembly line. Would be relatively easy as part of any power up QC test surely...

Most people don't want to pay that much for a monitor but they are easy to find from NEC & Eizo (the top brands). Benq have started selling some and Dell has a couple of models.On some more expensive monitors they include hardware LUTs so the tables are actually written and stored in monitor hardware - this is much better and means the colour correction will stay regardless of what programs are running on the monitor. Seems hardware LUT monitors are very rare and getting even rarer.
That sounds odd. I can set my target way higher if I wanted too.By the way as an interesting aside, when calibrating my monitor you have to tell it the nits value to calibrate to and it only goes up to 120 nits maximum,
You can do that but as the screen is used its response will vary over time so periodic re calibration is ideally required so it should be done by the user anyway at some point.I really don't understand why high end TVs aren't calibrated in such a fashion on the assembly line.
