The easiest way for a bunch of people to see travel images is on the TV--this
weekend our guest had images on their phone of course. I strongly prefer my
calibrated monitor but that can be a pain.
I dutifully had them download the Roku app and it successfully synced to our
Roku stick on our Oppo 103 universal player linked to our AVR. Everything
"worked" but I cringed with the over-saturated/blown channel, poor resolution
images. I concentrated on the content after a while but is was difficult. For
example purple wildflowers showed absolutely no tonal detail and clearly a
clipped channel and highlights often terribly blown. They were much better on
the phone.
I have not calibrated the TV and one can do that I think with custom settings
for each input. Our Sony XBR6 supports 1080P max for video. I assume that is
where the problem lies, but could be anywhere along the image chain. I had
Marnie show a few images from her phone that I had looked at on my monitor and
know are pretty good--they suffered the same fate. As an aside my AVR is
acting up and after hours of calibration/labeling inputs may need to do a
factory reset and/or reflash the firmware after I get a USB to RS232
cable---sigh. To get the TV to accept the signal for some sources may need to
reboot the AVR up to 10 times--arghh. This NAD AVR is known for difficulty
with erratic HDMI hand-shake. I did not have that in me today as recovering
from URI nor time for that matter.
I clearly need to fix this image display issue soon. I know I can fix the AVR
problem eventually. Any suggestions appreciated.
Mike
