I see..how do I utilize these 60fps for gaming, on ps3 precisely? I did came across that color gamut thingy, but I couldn't fathom any of it. But I do know that most hdtv manufacturer's are like what you said.

You're really informative. Thanks for sharing.

if the source already 60fps,the tv will feed 60fps just fine, however if the game design was 30fps, thus only motion smooth function (from hardware) helps to smooth up the frame (this thing increase cost of the hdtv). colour gamut are more like percentage of colour coverage(100% are from specification,but your display may exceed this), if the percentage is higher, your display can display more colour. usually pixel that can cover more bits have more colour.Other thing that can increase colour gamut are use or more colour for pixel like sharp's quatron technology or to reduce the colour leaking due to backlighting,glare or other reason

yeah, maybe.. but gaming at 60Hz, especially First-person shooters, sucks. cos u need to move constantly, and there are lots of quick movements involved, and most of the time everything is a blur. sad.gif

are u sure, usually gaming are capped at 60fps, 120fps due to image need to process two time for left and right image but still 60fps. if it blur, most likely your eye cannot catch up with the display, or there is some blur mechanism in gaming(usually ps2 have this kind of thing to cover bad texture) Most likely the blur come from ghosting. i play alot unreal tournament game, mostly things that slowly u down are u reaction and mouse doh.gif

Hey, I actually found something off the net that will help improve the overall FPS on ps3.

Source.

What do you think about this? Doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe by disabling it, the ps3 can utilise more memory?

Yeah, I read about that too, gaming are capped at 60fps and won't go beyond that.

I'm pretty sure you guys have heard about ISF calibration, its really expensive, basically you call in some expert and they will tweak your HDTV to perform.
IMO, it's not worth it. Why would you pay around 300$ for that only? Better spend it on something else..

NOTE: This is not my guide, I'm just showing you what I did to calibrate my set! Real credit goes to the source.

So, before we begin, here's something you should know about HDTV:

1) The settings at the store? Its all a piece of sh**. They crammed up every setting to make it look "catchy" to consumers.
2) The preset settings comes with your tv is useless. Never use it.
3) 1080p and 720p doesn't make up much of a difference on a 32". Unless you REALLY focus on the image.
4) REFRESH RATE IS IMPORTANT. Go for 100Hz!

Before I start, here is some drill before and after calibration:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Credit to this guy!Original Source.

Looks great doesn't it?
Okay now lets move on, first, make sure you do the following:

1) Warm up your HDTV, let it on for around 30minutes.
2) Turn OFF EVERY AUTOMATIC SETTINGS, like Auto Ambient Sensor bla2. on you HDTV.
3) For colour temperature, select warm, but personally, I prefer neutral.
4) Turn off your backlight settings, if it is too dark after calibration, just turn it back up.

Now is the real thing:

1) Download this video here,
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


- The first slide is for contrast setting, cram your contrast way up, and you can't distinguish the 8 box shades of white.
AIM: Set your contrast until you can see ALL 8boxes without eyestrain!

- The second slide with the THX logo, set your brightness settings so that you can barely see the 7th box above the THX logo. Just barely!

2) Quit the video

3) For the colour, use this pic as a reference.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


- Turn down your colour setting until its all black and white, then turn it up bit by bit until you can see the red is red, but it is not red enough that it bleeds.
- As for the cyan and magenta, adjust your tint setting so it look just nice to your eyes.

4) Sharpness setting, use this pic.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


- Turn down your sharpness way down and increase it bit by bit until the image looks fine to your eyes.

For the colour and sharpness calibration, credit goes to this guy/girl!
Original Source.

If you're not satisfied with the sharpness, you can use this alternative:

1) Load any face close up pic, HD pic preferred.
2) Adjust your sharpness until the face of the person looks normal to you.

Now, enjoy your newly calibrated HDTV! Hope you liked it!  thumbup.gif

Looks to reddish no? Well, you can always opt for neutral settings.

It's possible, try hooking it up with a DVD player and find a THX certified movie. Every THX certified movie comes with the THX Optimizer which allows you to do the calibration. But, this method requires you to use a blue filter glasses for the color calibration. Unless, you found a way to display the image I provided on your Trinitron.

Thanks for the positive feedback /k
Calibrate your HDTV nao!

I see, I never liked the warm settings anyway, it's too reddish. Currently sticking to neutral settings. Cold settings does make the picture appears nicer.

Noise Reduction - High
MPEG Noise Reduction - High
Cinema Drive - Auto
Ambient Sensor - Off

Under the Advanced Settings:
Adv. Contrast Enhancer - High

It is suitable for both gaming and movies. And I hooked it up with my PS3 as well, for gaming and movies.
