Not familiar with the bv10 but this might be asking a lot. I would recommend a self calibrating screen such as an Eizo which can be minutely adjusted.

I have a feeling that even if you could rgb calibrate  the bv10 for digital photography it would give strange colour's for ordinary tv viewing.

Well, calibration would result in an icc file which would be loaded on demand (or not).

And, yes, Eizo would be a good choice (and dirt cheap compared to the BV10..) but still...

Maybe there is someone who knows about RGB CALIBRATIONEN

A standard LCD monitor is not going to give you wide enough gamut, especially a consumer tv.

You'll end up with maybe 60% of sRBG and alot less for AdobeRBG.

And most B&O tv's are set to far above 9000k, and lacking colorcontrols.

Thanks Tomas,

so there are indeed no color controls. Too bad, but anyway.

As far as the sort of "broken" green when hitching the BV10 to a laptop, any idea what that may be?

Make sure that the computer doesn't send out a "calibrated" image for something when connecting = make sure no colorprofile is selected when having the BV10 connected.

Being green sound strange given that the colortemperature is close to 9000k it should be blue?

Hi Redil

Have you tried entering in a Service Menu? I think you can adjust the RGB calibration there, at your own risk, of course.

Go to Menu, select Options whithout pressing Go and press 0,0, Go. In the Monitor Menu, select Picture Adjustements and then White point adjustements.

Maybe it's what you are looking for.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! Since the problem just occurs when you connect a computer over HDMI the problem seems to lie elsewhere. The cable or the cable adaptor (are you using one?) or your computer might be the issue. I would be very cautious about adjusting anything in the service menus. If you do enter the service menu please take pictures and write down all the numbers before you change anything so that you at least can go back.

I would not recommend using a TV-screen for photo editing or for displaying photos that need to be shown with perfect color accuracy. This is not what the TV is intended for. A TV like BV10 always tries to adjust the signal to show you the best possible picture no matter if the source material is not as good as the result.  

Working with pictures means that you are going to do quality pictures (the source material) and for that you need a monitor that shows the true image without any enhancements of any kind - and that does this perfectly - which most cheap monitors do not. I would suggest a good IPS screen that can show more colours and with a good backlight that you can adjust for the room. 

Thanks all for the input. I conclude that the BV10 is not really suitable for the intended job of displaying photo images, although it beats me why this should be so.

cheers

one addition: I am sure that all TV panels need to at least internally have the same adjustment parameters as the computer monitors.

In the case of the BV 10 the issue seems to be that  color temperature is set to 9000 with no option to change it. This implies that the the image is "cold":

red turns towards magenta the whole image shows blueish hue. This becomes clear when comparing jpgs on a calibrated monitor and the BV10.

So the question remains: is there really no way to modify in the setup somewhere the color temperature?

I normal as mentioned above write down all the numbers and setting options when i receive the monitor, try it out, then hit reset.
If everything is the same, then you can comfortably know that any changes you do, can be reset back to their original position.
