Step 2: Check number of hours This step is optional. It will allow you to check how many hours your TV has been running so that you can assess whether you’ve accumulated 120 hours of break-in (assuming you haven’t run anything else). 1. In order to check the number of hours, you need to enter the service menu (SM). To do this, hold the Vol– button on the TV itself. While holding this, press INFO on the remote three times. Continue holding Vol–. The blue service menu should appear. 2. Press 2 on the TV remote. 3. Press OK on the TV remote. 4. Press the down arrow (▼) on the TV remote until you highlight “PTCT” 5. Press the right arrow (►) on the TV remote. 6. Hold MUTE on the TV remote for three seconds. The number of hours and minutes will appear. See image below (125 hours and 36 minutes). 7. To exit, hold the power button on the TV until the set turns off. 2
Step 3: Service menu offsets In this step, we will be entering the SM in order to apply the calibration offsets. Currently, D-Nice has only posted the X1 series offsets. As a result, I have decided to use Sadmaker’s offsets in the meantime. If you have a G10, you may wish to use Orta’s offsets. There are other peoples’ offsets out there as well; I only chose to use these for personal preference. It is a smart idea to take pictures using a camera of ALL your original settings in the service menu BEFORE you apply the offsets. Not every TV will have the same original values so it is very IMPORTANT that you keep track of these original values. I have provided pictures below to show you what you need to record. NOTE: There are a total of SIX (6) different sets of values. There is one for each temperature (cool, normal, warm) and for each input mode (SD or HD). So: SD cool, SD normal, SD warm, HD cool, HD normal, HD warm. For Sadmaker’s offsets, we have settings for warm and normal, so you will need to change the offsets for FOUR sets. In order to access the SD values, you need to have the input mode set to an SD source (480i or 480p). I used a Wii. In order to access the HD values, you need to have an HD source. This is anything 720i or higher: 720i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p. I used my PC input via HDMI for this. 1. Enter the SM: hold the Vol– on the TV itself. While holding this, press INFO on the remote three times. Continue holding Vol–. You should see something like the following: 3
