Here is the Sony Pre Cal Example
Mode Settings Select Gamma Mode on the sony TV If you have to change the mode on the sony PVMX550 you need to put in the passcode 4112
To get the mode to be read press>Gamma Preset – Press Read Series or "Goal Post"
Now go into each of the Gamma Settings on the Sony or whatever TV to test each of them (2.2, 2.4. 2.6 CRT etc.. .) to find the right one that reads closest to the target line 6500. 2.4 Seems to be the best on the Sony TriMaster
Rename the history tab to put in the Gamma Setting Go through each Gamma setting titling each one per setting -1 setting choose the best setting from all the modes you tried Error on the side of darker then over shooting 2.4
Here is what the 2 point Gamma reading at should look like See this example Click on Next
To set the "white point BLOCK" and color space click on the "Infinity button" and while it is read continuous toggle through all the color temp settings that the TV has Does the Sony have color temps
Click on Read Series "Goal Posts" Shows you where the chromacity diagram or CIE Chart Shows what the TV is displaying in reference to the white boxes. White Boxes = Optimum Color or Legal Range If the points of color are outside the boxes the colors need to be adjusted.
Notice here the dot is way out of the Green White box so the goal is to get the dot in the white box to set the Green Correctly
Turn off all Auto Features No automatic adjustments should be on Click on Next once all the settings on the TV are off
Adjust Luminance Click on Read Continuous lower left corner and adjust the Backlight setting
adjust the Backlight setting - Sony TriMaster doesn't have this on the TV our example we set it to max and according to the specs we should be
30-40 for a dark room these are the specs for the rooms that we want to follow
The max reading is 24.4 For our Sony TV not the Trinitron Note the range if the TV is in Range Move on to Next step Click on Next
Next click on the Dynamic Range Dynamic Range to check this click on Read Series
This is the result of the Read

?????Not sure what we did here notes from other session back in 2017 here We went to lower the Gamma to make it work better Turned on Advanced Contrast Enhancer and LED Dynamic Control Look at the Moving Stripe pattern you want to see the display look darker. This turns on Local Area Dimming
?????Not sure what we did here notes from other session back in 2017 here We ended up turning on Local Area Dimming by turning on LED Dynamic Control Optimizes contrast by adjusting brightness in individual sections of the screen Gamma also was changed to -2 this is a repeat of Gamma on step 2 but this is a 10 point control instead of a 2point control.

You can take a "Read Series" click on Goal Post

Object is to get All the Deltas under 5 is exceptable

Get the X to read .312 and the y .to read 329

You would have to adjust the RGB on every point if you have that on your TV this is called Multipoint greyscale instead of two point that we do on the Sony Trinitron.
We don't have these options in this TV. Because we only 2 Hi and Low and we don't have a control called RGB balance or alike. . . .
