Bryan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 We've just splurged money on a new personal video recorder - good for recording commercial stations and then blatting the adverts, I hate adverts - and this one comes with a USB connection to enable me to upload photos to the TV. I tried it out and was disappointed to find that a lot of my shots are looking very cold on the TV, they look a good deal warmer on the three monitors and tablet that I have access to. Both the PVR and TV are by Panasonic. Any techno geeks out there who can comment on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspics Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Could be colour space difference between sRGB or RGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Lewis Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I read somewhere that the default settings on T.V.'s and, computer screens for that matter, always default to the cooler side. Apparently some MBA or engineer somewhere surveyed a bunch of people and they concluded that the majority of people like it that way. I know our massive Samsung LCD T.V. came that way. It took quite a bit of research to get the settings right. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks for the responses. Looks like I need to reset the colour balance on the TV, will search for a manual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 ISTR my Panasonic PVR and TV allow different colour/contrast/saturation settings for each input source. There's no obvious entry for each (there's just one set of settings), but after some experimentation it was clear the settings were applied to the currently selected input source independently and don't alter the settings for the other input sources.

Bryan Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks Mark, that's good as the normal TV picture is fine. I need to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another setting to watch out for is the sharpening. ISTR my Panasonic TV (or was it my father's Sony TV) applied masses of sharpening by default when browsing photos on USB stick. Made them look awfully "gritty". I had to turn down the sharpening. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
