Vizio VW42LF Calibration
| Overview Review Specifications Calibration |
Model: Vizio VW42LF LCD HDTV Complete Model #VW42LFHDTV10A
Reviewer: Robert Wiley
Calibration: This Vizio LCD comes preset to Standard picture setting out of the box. Change to the Custom setting then scroll down to set as follows to achieve close to D6500K grayscale and peak performance in contrast and brightness. Set DNR to Low, and all other Advanced Video setting to Off. Backing up to the picture menu set picture setting values as follows:
| Color Temp: | Warm |
| Contrast: | 48 |
| Brightness: | 54 |
| Sharpness: | -2 |
| Color: | 52 |
| Tint: | -1 |
| Backlight: | 32 |
| This calibration will get us to within plus minus 195 of D6500K. |
Contrast Ratio Measurement: Vizio lists contrast ratio for the VW42LF at a mere 2000:1. Our checkerboard pattern tests put the post calibration contrast at 164:1. This LCD TV does not excel in contrast and this is a weak point.
