Beovision 8 40 - How to adjust light sensor, white balance and get rid of the soap opera effect.

40 replies
Thanks Gizze for your reply.

I have actually just adapted the same settings to my bv8-40 and will the coming days evaluate. Since we use the tv in the kitchen I don’t expect my wife to tell the difference.

But so far I am quite satisfied with the result. I just watched a bluray version of the transformers, still pretty good picture.

Besides. The sound from the bv8-40 is still pretty amazing. We have to give B&O that credit.

Hello I don’t know if you want my question here or in private message but you also get it here. 

But my question is can I also use These settings for my Beovision 10?

I have now tried to change the settings but I rather like the more warmer picture. I think it might look like the original picture settings or is it just me? 

Also when black or dark scenes appear it makes some weird circles or something in the black 

I would leave the white point adjustment for now. 

Try turning off the Light Sensor, turn Peaking down to 0 in the scaler menu and see how that is. 

Then do things one at a time. 

 

Do remember to take pics before you make adjustments!! ;) 

It maybe the backlight adjustment that is causing issues in darker areas?

Yes I have taken pictures before. 

But which picture is it you want self. 

For my eyes is it because I think my Beovision 10 is too cold and too light/strong in the white picture. 

And want a more natural picture with a more warm picture. I don’t know if you also want that because then we maybe want 2 different pictures. You want one picture and I want another. If you know what I mean. 

But is it possible if we can chat on Facebook or Skype?

best regards Frederik 

Back home in Oz ... and getting ready to experiment (after taking photos!)

Thanks for all your guidance to date.
There menu differences between some of your screen shots and nine !

Could provide a screen shot of your software/ firmware version numbers ?

(I got mine in 2012 and it was brought up to date then ...)

Sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, I haven't been around for the last couple of weeks as I sold my TV. 

I didn't take a pic of the firmware version. 

 

What's different?

Your screenshots seem to have more options in some areas; let me try to put together a compare & contrast report !
