Connectivity & Media
Calibration
Complicated to calibrate because the menu settings vary depending on what type of connection you use.
Calibration
When we calibrated the Vivitek D537W we were using the HDMI connection. That turned out to have an impact on our experience, because many menu settings are not available when using certain ports. For instance, most of the processing features with the word “Video” in front of it did not work if you were driving the video through anything but composite of S-video. Also, if you choose any mode other than User mode, you can’t change any of the settings, not even contrast, color temperature, etc.
| Calibration Settings | ||
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Default | Calibrated |
| Mode | User | User |
| Brilliant Color | 10 | 1 |
| Brightness | 51 | 44 |
| Contrast | 47 | 47 |
| Sharpness | 16 | 0 |
| Color Space | Auto | Auto |
| Color Temperature | Warm | Warm |
Video Modes
There are a many video modes, but only User mode allows you to make changes to the performance settings.
| Mode | What it Does |
|---|---|
| Presentation | For office use |
| Bright | Brightest mode, but throws color |
| Game | Least processing for faster response, presumably |
| Movie | Best color performance, but no ability to change individual settings |
| TV | For television watching |
| sRGB | Uses the sRGB color gamut |
| User | Allows you to make changes to individual settings |
