And if you want it to look decent on just about any consumer TV as well. Most consumer stuff defaults to blowing out the whites. I’m blown away when I go through the settings on a digital TV. First off, it’s mostly digital these days and there should be very little need of ANY adjustment on a properly calibrated LCD, but they come with VIVID, movie, football (WTF?), game, standard, etc. I usually start off with standard and then I still have to turn off every auto correction known.

Ok sorry OT.

Its always good to use the Broadcast Safe effect on any questionable shots. Real easy to use and real time.
