Posting this here instead of in General Discussion just to be safe from instant trolling... So I'm gonna lable this under tech support. :P Anyways, what is the best setting for your screen or TV for watching anime? I use a TV monitor for my PC but also watch some shows on blu-ray, is it better to set the monitor to RGB or YCBCR? I imagine for PC RGB is the better one but is that the case for TV as well? Since anime has more clear colors the info I found on other forums (discussing regular movies) didn't help. :/ thanx!

Seriously you need a new TV if those are the best connections you have.

lol I'm talking about the color value not the connections... xD RGB = Red, Green & Blue. YCBCR = Luminance, Chroma, Blue, Chroma, Red.

Don't worry m8. It's a 48" flatscreen that is like 6 months old. It's using HDMI, again I'm talking about color value. :P

You should edit the op to clear up the confusion.

OT: i use flux on my computer which gives everything an orange tint and it does have a noticeable affect on color at night. So i can't help you out there. But i left my monitor on the default settings when its not active.

But try different settings and see which one you like best. Its all subjective after all

It really depends on the tv. Try searching for the model number (or something from it's family) and settings recommended by owners.

I followed this for mine and then tweaked until I was happy.



Some people might say go brighter and bolder for anime but I don't personally agree, just go as true as possible.
fuck everything and rumble
