Monitor Calibrated - Output Horrible |
|
|
My broadcast monitor produces horrible output after calibration.
Details:
-I've successfully implemented the instructions from
http://www.synthetic-ap.com/tips/calibrate.pdf (bars match on blue
only, blacks adjusted etc). Used SMPTE bars from Premiere Pro 1.5
-The output to the monitor looks terrible now that it's "calibrated."
Way too much green.
-Also, there is some yellow bleeding into the left margin of the white
bar on the lower left, both before and after calibration.
I bought the monitor used. I have a budget for some service if needed.
It is a JVC BM-H1300SU. Thanks much for any advice, ALR

The server appears to be down, so I don't know what that document
says. However, if you only adjusted the user controls (brightness,
contrast, chroma gain ("color"), and chroma phase ("tint"), then
you likely need a more complete "calibration". There are several
secondary controls (similar to separate brightness and contrast
controls for each of the colors: RGB). These are internal and
should not be adjusted without the proper optical test equipment. |

If you don't want to break the bank you can have a GOOD TV repair shop
calibrate it. If you want to take the high road there are many
broadcast repair places, but you pay the extra. If it were a Sony 20"
engineering monitor you would want to spring for the tune-up. Also
consider the age of the monitor... your phosphors may be aging. |

there may be a number of possible explanations. Here are the two that come
to mind :
1) The monitor may not be terminated properly. That could easily cause the
bleeding on the 100% white bar.
2) The monitor may already be worn out. If you get ghosting on the
highlights of a properly set up monitor, then the CRT is probably toast.
Of course, your video may actually look that bad, only you never knew it
because your monitor was "adjusted" to make it look OK.
