Sony Oled calibration

[Balázs Rozgonyi]

I have testing some calibrations with my PVM-2541. Not the BVM series, but okay for locations.

Sony posted a ‘whitepoint setting app’ on its website. It takes a reading from a CA210, CS200, PR655, Klein, eye1 or other, and tries to match the monitor. The interesting thing is that the software ask you what are you matching to, and then applies a big offset. If you select CRT, it applies a -006/-0.011 offset which is pretty big.

But the biggest problem is apparently it needs an input – something – it cannot generate its own patterns, which is okay, but it does not tell you what to input. I suppose it has to be 100% white, as it takes the brightness down and measures dark grey from it, and then measures full white – but cannot tell. I tried it with 75% white and it was somewhat more off.

Anybody knows what the input pattern should be?

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve came across this step by step guide, which says the input image has to be 100% white. Could not check it since I don’t have a i1 Pro (only a i1D3), but here it goes anyway:

As an i1D3 and Sony PVW 2541 oled owner, I would really appreciate if someone could share any updated information about the offset values to be applied to this particular colorimeter to match my 2541 to a good old D65 CRT whitepoint… after many years of joyful colorgrading, since I bought the 2541 I feel cursed and very frustrated by this oled green cast thing! Still struggling to make it work with Lightspace CMS and give me back the WYSIWYG confidence I used to have with Sony CRTs!

Hi
I am calibrating OLEDS (PVM’s,PVM-A), using i1d pro, which is the cheap 250$.
I use HCFR, and considering the limits of PVM series, the results are good.
Sony white balance app requires at least the i1 pro. I did not try it.

2¢..
