Beovision 11 picture settings

Hello Peter and Svend fans,

Now that I had my new toy for a few days, I can confirm I'm not totally satisfied with the standard picture settings of the Tv.

In a dark room (small lamp) I find that the picture is too dark and that it is permanently adapting to the room (which stays dark). You can feel the engine working (picture going slightly bright/dark, bright/dark...).

I would like to switch the automatic picture control off, some of you as done it ?

Have you changed the standard picture settings like K.M.A. (extraordinary review) or FlatPanelSHD ?

I'm going to read those two reviews and try to brightnen my picture without loosing details.

Any tip appreciated !

Gregory

 

 

 

Hi

I am not surprised that you have to change the pictures settings.

I had to do this on my bv 7 40 mk3. I have near perfect vision and I am very sensible to any automatic picture modifications (brightness, contrast). it makes me feel sick.

I had to disable some auto control in the menu service or in the menu activated by "red arrow" and GO.

THE bv 11 has more menus but maybe the modification are made through the same service menu.

 

Good to know I'm not alone. Thanks olivier !

Depending upon how your TV is mounted I would be more inclined to adjust the room lighting or introduce a light nearer to or even behind the TV.

Your TV will then continue to adjust correctly to daylight changes, unless you have got the TV in a permanently darkened cinema room.

Hi Gregpry...I went through the same issue on mine. I generally tend to be on adaptive mode and changed the settings as follows...

Backlight 43, brightness 37, colour 32, viewing distance set to where you are ssitting on the advanced settings I have Judder and Power saving off, and room adaptation ON. I have expert settings for Apple TV set at 32 for everything, except cropping at 20.

The continuous picture adjustment seems to have gone away once I changed the settings. The only problem I have for which there seems to be no fix is that a white object on black creates clouding, which annoyed me at first but eventually you get use to it.

I have a lamp at 3 meters on the left of the Tv with LC2.

Normally I set light on 7 (out of 9) to watch Tv and I noticed that with light on 6 (brighter than 7) the Tv adjusts far less.

Your right, Bv11 needs a good light condition to work properly.

I think there are some clues in KMA and flatpanel reviews (sharpness contrast enhance and noise reduction to 0 instead of 32 !).

Thanks

Thanks again Rx, will try that.

Once you receive a Bv11 you need two weeks off to set it to your own needs !!!

Exactly....and the fun to having such a TV is the ability to play with all the settings. This is my first BO TV, and the funny thing is that at first I thought the lower colour temperature under adaptive mode was too blue. So I watched movies in movie mode (6500K). But over time my eyes became more adjusted to the lower temperature and it seemed more natural (except some films from the 50s and 60s). So over time you will refine the settings...

The Adaptive mode is too blue as confirmed by the FlatpanelsHD review. I much prefer the Movie mode.

Just to let you know that KMA and Flatpanel settings (noise reduction, sharpness and contrast enhance set to 0 instead of 32) don't do anything for me.

The picture is far worse than the standard one.

So the settings are going to be something between the standard ones and the above.

Please B & O release a picture guide like the sound guide so we (customers) can know how to set our Tv to our neads...
