Calibration
- Cinema mode offers the best color performance
- Bright mode has the brightest performance, but terrible color performance
Calibration
Unlike a TV, there’s no single mode on a projector that’s best for all types of situations. The Bright mode makes the most sense for presentations or times when color performance is not all that important. However, you’re definitely going to want to use Cinema mode for movies and gaming, because the color performance in other modes is so egregiously bad.
| Calibration Settings | ||
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Default | Calibrated |
| Mode | Presentation | Cinema |
| Brightness | 48 | 44 |
| Contrast | 47 | 47 |
| Sharpness | 16 | 0 |
Video Modes
There are several video modes on the Optoma GT720, which affect both brightness and color performance. It’s easy to change modes, and we recommend you do so depending on the usage scenario.
| Mode | What it Does |
|---|---|
| Presentation | Good color and brightness from PC input |
| Bright | Maximum brightness from PC input |
| Cinema | For home theater |
| Game | For game mode |
| Blackboard | This mode should be selected to achieve optimum color settings when projecting onto a blackboard (green) |
| Classroom | This mode is recommended for projecting in a classroom |
| User | User's settings |
| 3D | The initial default setting of this mode is DLP-Link. Any further adjustments by the user in 3D will be saved in this mode for further use |
