if I ever have a home theater room I'll pay a guy but I have a living room and a 40" TV I sit 10 feet away from

like you said if you can hit exact perfect calibration most stuff looks like garbage so my goal was to hit a happy medium where I can watch things all times of day and with the lights at any setting but black is still black and not bluish grey [lcd] or green [plasma] like on 95% of hdtvs

this is legal in the US if you make no claims of what the product is supposed to do. Even prescription strength.

doing this by eye is futile because surround color and ambient light color temperature will influence what you think D65 grey is.

whoa you're literally the first person to ever know this fact so I assume you created that image specifically for this thread and aren't just referencing a hundreds of years old known perceptual phenomena that anyone who's ever designed anything or even taken an intro to psych class knows so now I'm going to foil over all the windows in my living room and never ever turn the lights on again because finding a decent middle-ground setting that works OK 90% of the time, great with the lights at movie watching brightness and is slightly blown out in total blackness would be insanity

in the worst case you'll see colour banding on an uncalibrated display and that pretty objective

even if your settings are good you'll still probably still see banding due to lovely compression

You'll never be the mainstream audience, you're too educated, and have other more refined tastes.

You will never be able to get the mass adoption to watch a show created for you with big network dollars because the model doesn't support a few thousand watching it.

Sorry :~(

I'm glad you finally admit that my watching ads has nothing to do with things I like being on tv
