Monitor Calibration - LG OLED 55C7P Calman and Klein Workflow

Can try to see if there are any firmware updates for the LG's

Need a small USB formatted Fat32 and can download firmware from the LG website

https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-tv-how-to-update-an-lg-smart-tv–1430510575535

Newer LG's are C2PUA LG OLED

You will need the Dell Laptop with the Calman Software installed and the 

Klien Colorimeter and the Murido signal generator

This is stored in a case in the back of the helpdesk in CMA 3.104

Turn on Monitor so it warms up

Note if the remote is not working right try to 

RE-Pair it with the TV

Hold down the 

>Home and the >Settings buttons at the same time for 3-5 seconds

That will re-sync the remote with the TV.

 

Connect Murideo signal generator via USB to laptop.

Make sure the Murideo drivers are installed 

http://www.murideo.com/downloads.html

Plug in the HDMI out of the Murideo Signal Generator output to the TV you want to calibrate

MAKE SURE IN USE HDMI 1 WHERE THE BLACKMAGIC I/O IS PLUGGED

 

Set the LG TV HDMI input to the input from the Murideo HDMI INPUT 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Murideo Signal Generator connected via USB -

Use USB to Serial Port 4 on Laptop for the Murido Signal Generator

Press the red ON button on the Murideo

Menu and key navigation

Murideo set Color Space to YC444 - 16-235

If the unit is in its 4K Geometry mode while attempting to connect to Calman, an error message will be produced that states “Firmware or application not up to date, check for a newer version. To avoid this error and connect normally, switch the Murideo SIX-G out of its 4K Geometry mode before connecting to Calman.
Ex: Get out of this 4K Geometry Mode it won't connect.

 

 

Press the yellow button to get it Timing RES

 

Set the Timing Resolution NOT 4K to 3840 x 2160 23.98

Greyscale Two Point Adjust - Each LG TV has the two point White balance mode but the menus look different.

We want to avoid the 10 and 20 point version of this unless you have A LOT of time

 

Calman

Select the 80 percent white

Choose Read Continuous

 

 

Click on the Continuous read button

 

Overview - of this step Grayscale 2 point adjustment

You will go to your White Balance settings to find your RGB Gain and Bias
You will control the RED Green and Blue Gain=High controls

The idea of this step is:

You want to adjust the Red Green and Blue controls until you get all 3 RGB colors to match exactly this is close but not exact

 

How to get to the Menus to adjust the White Balance Set to the 2 point Method and access the RGB levels

Older LG's >All Settings>Picture>Picture Mode Settings>Expert Controls>White Balance

NEW LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color >White Balance

 

Older LG 2Point workflow

 

White Balance Select the 2 Point Method

Then

 

Point > High if you select the 80 chip in the Calman Software and Low if you are on the 30 chip

Select Point High since we are on the 80 percent chip on the Calman software

 

Adjust the Red and Green and Blue white balance controls on the LG till you get the graph even in Calman

Newer LG's use the two point High and Low

 

LG Remote > Star > All Settings > Advanced Settings > Color >White Balance

Point make sure you are on Point > High if you are on the 80 chip and Low if you are on the 30 chip

 

80 percent will be on high point
