[Tig] custom TV looks

[Nichols Craig]

My TV also has a "custom" presets, so I just use these.  I've used this
on sets my extended family has in various Southern California locations
and basically do the same thing...a preset setting for movies, and one
for sports (where, like you say, ambient lighting tends to be higher).
On many TVs, the factory settings look like they were designed for
someone like Fred and Ethel Mertz (apologies to Fred and Ethel).

Disclaimer - I work for Thomson - have no Thomson TVs - and have any
affiliation with DesiLu except sometimes working on Spirits across the
street from their old studios in Hollywood.

So does mine. But on mine, the parameters are presets which can then be
adjusted to taste, and will hold for the different modes. 

I basically use two settings: one for sports (mostly football) which is
an
"up" look at least partly because football usually happens during the
day when
there's sunlight in the room, and the other for everything else, for
which I
have a "cinema" look using the factory calibrated (and lightly tweaked
by me)
D65 look.

Works out quite well overall.
