Sony VPL-VW90ES Projector Calibration and Settings - 1

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Art Feierman

Sony VPL-VW90ES Post Calibration Grayscale: User 3 (based on Cinema)

Color Temp over IRE Range (Post calibration):


20 IRE	6116
30 IRE	6519
40 IRE	6634
50 IRE	6653
60 IRE	6620
70 IRE	6560
80 IRE	6477
90 IRE	6436
100 IRE	6552
Average gamma	2.23

Mike NOTES: Results were almost identical to the VW85. The grayscale was further off than the VW85 with default settings, but the VW90 has a lot of hours on it.

Art Adds: The projector arrived with over 200 hours on the lamp. That probably already cost Sony about 5-10% in brightness. Keep that in mind.
