In Reply to: RE: Anyone notice a big improvement in tv picture quality over the weekend or today? posted by Geoffkait on May 05, 2025 at 14:58:03
I'll have to take a closer look. Why? Should the TV look better today vs last week?
On a somewhat related note, I can switch between HD CableTV and HD Over-the-Air broadcasts for local major networks and PBS. While HD CableTV is fine, HD Over-the-Air is actually a little sharper. What's also interesting is that CableTV in my area is delayed almost a full minute vs over the air broadcasts. I can switch back and forth in real time.
Fun and games related to sports on TV:
If we have two TV's ON watching a sporting event I can watch the live broadcast (over the air) upstairs and "know ahead of time" if a player will score - or not. For example, my wife is watching the big TV down in the basement (via CableTV) and I'm upstairs getting a snack while the upstairs TV is receiving the live over-the-air broadcast nearly a full minute ahead of CableTV. I'll yell down to my wife, "he's going to score 100% guaranteed". Or "he's going to miss 100% guaranteed". I had her fooled for a while until she realized I was seeing the plays ahead of her.

Been chatter on the sites re SONY going to a (in House)Factory Calibrated RGB LED Series of TV's.
While not primarily designed for Transmitted TV viewing RGB Monitors which are designed for Professional Media/Video applications have been available for many years-with factory Calibrations -BUT not locked in as purchased which it appears SONY is spruiking--one poster in this thread hit the mail on the head -ha!
What if the buyer doesn't like his perfectly calibrated picture, but prefers the Flouro screamer he previously enjoyed--perish the thought!
I have an RGB Monitor for Photo manipulation Factory calibrated from the box-- An EIZO ColorEdge CG2700X 27" 4K HDR Monitor BUT has built in RGB Calibrator that will do factory refresh when I wish to open the command and activate it. For TV I use the excellent GENIATECH LLC EYE TV GmbH HD Digital with MacBook Pro M4.
I use this Monitor for all HD/Digital Antenna (No Cable ) viewing and find the colour balance perfect for Natural colours as per a Calibration.The density /brightness/ blacks /rendition of colours in what I would say is more pure form with thoroughly more visually pleasing than the TV's I see at my friends rooms and the Stores. also I get no eye strain and don't nod off with my setup--yes seriously!
If Sony gets this moment right-I think consumers will be pleasantly surprised with more "natural " and correctness of the Colours --like I said less viewing fatigue from garish colours.
RGB Monitors at present have certain elements of drift in the colours over time and as of present need to be recalibrated to bring back into the correct spectrum . SONY will maybe have to allow user calibration.
Anyway its still not a viable product -besides they all have to get the price to be competitive as of today
my Monitor is $3400 USD--- for 27"???--- can't see the rocketing off the shelves !
Good viewing,

Did you have to recalibrate any time recently? Have you noticed a better picture?
Recommended on monthly basis--all built in and user activated one click and the procedure takes about 4/5 minutes-you rename date , etc and save --voila!
Dependant on the colour drift usually in a Monitor of this quality very little-but yes the changes will be evident if sometimes minimal .
The RGB Spectrum at present has variables Adobe/ SRGB/Colormatch/ etc for different uses and placement-it will be interesting to see how SONY gets around the pretty closed patents that ring these Colour profiles, but understanding the depth of the Japanese company and the way they "gazumped" Telefunken with their clone PAL 14"Trinitron in the early 70's-
I'd say the dye is already in the works if not cast already.

Did you have to recalibrate any time recently?
A: Yes every Month or if I see any "drift" /"Shift" noticeable in the Colour presentation.
Have you noticed a better picture?
B: Yes if the drift itself was noticeable before Calibration--sometime too subtle to notice.
User to decide both A and B.

I did not recalibrate my TV. I'm referring to other TVs and other video systems - iPads, home theater, video game monitors, etc. anywhere in the world. Having said that, it is possible some video systems need recalibration, depends on what the settings were originally, but default settings should be fine. You should simply see a better picture, a better"signal."My experiment is to investigate the concept that video and audio performance can be affected (improved) *remotely* - without any physical connection.

I really like MBL and Olympics, football for broadcast=quality. Great for judging changes in picture quality. Blacker backs, natural saturated colors, greater details like grass and shininess of helmets, and skin tone! etc. no noise or distortion.
I'll be watching Denver Nuggets play Oklahoma City Thunder basketball tonight - if it's not blacked out in our area. I can never tell until I start channel hopping to see who's carrying it - or no one w/o a paid subscription (ESPN for example or NBA... they all piss me off with these black outs unless you pay).
That is cool.
I'll watch for picture quality, but I might not have retained enough "picture quality memory" from my last viewing to notice. But I'll have a look.
Another from Saturday 3rd May
Screen shot from MLB several days ago
Nice.How can one post screen shots here?
Yes, it should look a lot better than say a week ago. Higher res, blacker backs, better color, more subtle details like skin tone, shininess, etc. more dimensional too
Over the air? Cable? Streaming? Everything?
Why such a secret squirrel?
All forms of video iPad, YouTube, streaming,TV, 5k, everything. It's an experiment I'm running.

But why? Was there a recent technical development that went into effect?
I'm not sure that ATSC 3.0 "NextGen TV" with better compression and support for 4K has gone into effect in my area. But I've lost track. They've been trying to roll it out forever now.
According to A.I.
"The transition to ATSC 3.0, also known as NextGen TV, has been delayed due to various factors, including concerns about costs for cable and satellite providers, DRM (Digital Rights Management) issues, and slow adoption by consumers and the television industry. The FCC has proposed timelines for a nationwide transition, but concerns remain about the readiness of the industry and consumer demand.
Here's a more detailed look at the reasons for the delay:
Cost for Cable and Satellite Providers:
Cable and satellite providers are concerned about the costs of transitioning to ATSC 3.0, particularly regarding the need to re-encode signals to accommodate the different options available in the standard.
DRM Issues:
DRM is a contentious issue, with broadcasters wanting to encrypt over-the-air signals, but this creates consumer inconvenience as only certain devices can decrypt them.
Slow Adoption by the Television Industry:
Many television manufacturers are reserving ATSC 3.0 tuners for high-end models, if at all, which limits consumer access.
FCC Timeline Proposals:
The FCC has proposed timelines for a transition, but there are concerns about the industry's readiness to meet these deadlines.
Consumer Interest and Demand:
Consumers may not be as enthusiastic about ATSC 3.0's interactive capabilities as they are about streaming platforms, which offer similar functionality.
Must-Carry Rules:
Adjustments are needed to accommodate technical differences between ATSC 1.0 and 3.0. "
