Yes it is fine but that doesn't mean it is optimal. This depends on how linear your display is within the gamut.

It sounds like your BT.2020 3DLUT has a bit more saturated red than your BT.709 one. Without measurements it is hard to know which one is more accurate but I suspect it is the BT.709 one.

When using a 3DLUT for another gamut madVR first uses pixel shader math to convert the source to the other gamut and then runs that through the 3DLUT.

My low power settings.bin would be a good place to start. It has profiles you do not need but you can simply ignore them.

Test with 720p content, it is more difficult on a 1080p TV.

1) This is a very large topic. Check out the display calibration thread. I really like Calman for calibration software but it is expensive and you need a meter. DisplayCal is a great free option but you still need a meter. The i1 Display Pro is a good cheap option, ideally combined with an i1 Pro 2.

2) I would use PC (to get 4:4:4 chroma) but I am not sure what you mean by "HDR effect". If it isn't only for HDR content then I would not want it anyway.

I'd get the XRite Colormunki Display, same HW as i1 Display Pro only slower (but not dead slow, actually it's pretty normal)...however, for your PC monitor, your games and apps need to support system color management or LUTs to take advantage of the meter but it's not ideal as you may get color banding if your monitor is very off standard...it's best to just calibrate any monitor controls there are to their best ability and leave it at that...

a meter is used to read the image and without knowable and proper Tv settings you will not get proper results.

Since I forgot we are on a MadVR-related thread, yes, it is possible to use free DisplayCAL software to create a LUT to use with MadVR, the software will guide you to set basic white balance and brightness on the menus of the TV and, after many automatic measurement, it will produce a MadVR LUT...but even for that, some read of tutorials is required (there are some around)...sadly, you won't get good black from an LG unless it's an OLED, however you calibrate

To nitpick, I like to watch things in a dark room at a 35 degree viewing angle. I don't like peak nit of 120 during these viewing periods as it's simply for to bright for my eyes. Movies aren't so bad I guess, but the TV is linked to a htpc.

I find 52 nits suitable. It's a slight reduction in contrast ratio but nets a black level of 0.045 cd/m2. This black level is probably just inside the 'good' region. I hate grey more then I despise the low peak nit.

@audionut: you aren't nitpicky enough, you should really drop it to 48 nits to match the cinema calibration standard...

@Asmodian

Thank for compiling all this useful info. I have a question about your settings.bin file : seems the SD content I have is mostly European PAL DVDs, are the auto-select rules going to work well since PAL and NTSC dvds don't have the same resolution and framerate ?

Yes, all my profiles use SD for anything equal to or below 1024x576 to account for widescreen PAL DVDs.

Yes, these meters work as well for TVs as for monitors. I also recommend the colormunki over the spyder but the spyder 5 is acceptable. I think the i1d3 is worth it over the colormunki but go with XRite if you can.

I like 100 nits (103 nits at last calibration) for my dark room viewing, 120 is a too bright in a dark room but 80 or below is less vibrant. Of course, with OLED, I get 0.000 cd/m2 blacks.

A recent new GPU resulted in the iDisplay3 being removed from storage, resulted in the partner rolling her eyes with an exasperated "omg this takes ages".

That standard is exactly what I targeted when I realized I needed something to help me with the facts of my shitty display. "It's a cinema display".

OLED is the next upgrade. I'm wondering if I'll need sunglasses for the HDR aspect (700+ nits). I think I'll need a liaison officer first to help me run it past the minister of finance.

Good thinking

Another question : I noticed all your profiles had deinterlacing turned off. Does it mean you do the deinterlacing with the decoder? In my case it would be MPC's internal LAV filter.
