[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 368334, member: 517"] I think the best way to go about it is to take out the box measurements so as to let readers know not only what the most accurate preset is, but how accurate it is (explaining how any misstep negatively affects the picture). Then calibrate the display, the insight gained through the process about the panel's capabilities conveyed to the reader. Critical evaluation can then take place post calibration, the reader can then weigh the critique against the out the box findings and see if the panel sounds like a good fit for him. It's worth mentioning that the better panels are generally quite accurate out the box. I also agree that education is important, reviews need to be informative. For example, why not let people know which Gamma setting within a TV's menu most closely correlates to 2.2 & 2.4-2.5 (as measured with correct Brightness compensation) - along with an explanation as to why you would select one over the other. Dave Mackenzie's work on http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/ is a good example of how TV reviews should be written I think. [/QUOTE]
