The Samsung representative I spoke with suggested that the Quick Mode delivers around 70% of the accuracy you might get with a full calibration. The Quick Mode only works at the 2pt white balance level, so there are limits to its results.
This is pretty amazing when you consider that professional calibrators usually allow at least half a day for a full calibration visit.
The exact time for each Quick Mode calibration will vary according to the capabilities of your phone and Samsung TV - though during the demo I saw, the Quick Mode process actually took only 15 seconds. The Quick Mode takes less than 30 seconds to complete all of its measurements and TV adjustments.
Note: I turned off BD Wise and the Blu Ray did it's thing, up-converted to 1080p.EZCal gives you three different calibration options. Given that these products are both 2010, I am very disappointed with this feature. The resolution was then automatically determined at 420p. I threw in an old DVD (King Arthur) and turned BD Wise mode on for both the tv and Blu Ray. I recently purchased the Samsung LED 6500 and the Samsung Blu Ray 6500. Often times they will pay shipping for you to have it repaired. Maybe they are still working the kinks out of the system or it could even be that you got a bum deal and something is wrong with the Blu-Ray. I would contact Samsung to see what's going on with that. July 29, - I can definitely see how that would be disappointing - especially when you invested in both the TV and the Blu-Ray. Not sure if that makes a difference since the technology is Samsung exclusive and it's not on my Blu-Ray - just my TV. I have heard of a few people having issues, but I didn't buy a Samsung, I bought a Sony. I've experienced an excellent looking picture no problem. New Blu-Ray players work well with this feature. I really think the BD Wise with my combination of equipment jumps the picture to the best point it can possibly be, or at least very close to it. The dimming and color (and some other adjustments) are a little shifted as you cycle through these modes and it changes slightly with the BD Wise mode also. It is like another entire mode: Standard, Dynamic, Movie, Eco, and of course BD Wise. Some of the other settings are different also. With many Blurays it auto adjusts to the 24 Hertz cinematic experience frame rate With phenomenal picture. The BD-Wise is awesome with this combination. Have the BD-C7900 Bluray and run it on the pn-58b860 Plasma. Such options provide similar improvements in video resolution, though they do not usually change other TV display settings.īD Wise is a process by which a HDTV and other devices adjust their settings to provide the best picture quality possible. Other models of Blu-ray™ players, even those not made by Samsung®, often include "up-scaling" for older content.
The higher-end models also include other features such as BD Live®, which allows users to connect to the Internet and download content. Many TVs and players do include the technology, but buyers should check the details on the box of a product before buying it to make sure it includes this feature. The BD Wise® feature does not come standard on all Samsung® Blu-ray™ players. In those instances, users can turn off the feature and choose their own settings. Unusual encoding on a DVD, for example, might cause the system to set an incorrect resolution or brightness, and DVDs burned from a computer could also have problems with automatic up-scaling. Although Samsung® intends for this feature to be better most of the time, there could be occasions when the system does not adequately set an optimal resolution for a particular disc. In some cases, users may wish to rely on their own settings rather than the automatic adjustments made by the BD Wise® feature.
The player and TV typically need to be connected by a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable, which lets the two devices "communicate." Optional Use In addition, the television must be an HD set that is capable of adjusting its own resolution. If one device does not include this feature, then the interconnectivity between them does not function. For BD Wise® to work, both the media player, such as a Blu-ray™ player, and the television set must be Samsung® products and include BD Wise® as a feature.
