hi my name is jason and i have tried again and again with the DVE disc and i kept messing it up.This is what i get from the disc.

1.brightness: Adjust so the blacker than blacker is just barely visible on the backround .(works on panasonic plasma but my optoma hd70 clips that signal). With the optoma i can just see two lines 4% and 2% above black. I move the control until the inside line (2%) is just barely visible.

2. contrast: I used the ramps to adjust for white but no matter how high i turn the contrast on the optoma and panasonic i can not get white to clip. So this is where i am stuck because i do not know when it is right. now this leads me to the color ( the part i can not get an answer to anywhere)

3. Color: I get it on the panasonic because it only has color/tint so i use the blue filter until the backround blends in together but leaves the black squares, but on the optoma it has color/tint and
green
red
blue
green bias
red bias
blue bias
so how do i use DVE to adjust all of the colors? Do i use each of the filters to adjust each color?(there is a blue,red,green filter that came with the disc). Or do i leave the other colors on default and just use the color/tint.
here are the screen shots of the menu system and maybe this will give someone a better idea what i am talking about.

if you scroll down you will see both the color/tint and under advanced are the gain/bias.
Any help or a web site that will explain this would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking for an explanation on many different web sites with no answers. I can not believe someone else has not asked this question. I just bought a new carada 92 inch brilliant white screen and want to calibrate it myself if i can. I will also give someone a draper custom 106 inch gray pull down if someone wants to come show me how to set up my display. I live in martinez ca.

It's been a while since I've used the disk, but for each color you use the color filter to look at the display and match the 3 blocks to the exterior.

However the green doesn't always work. If you can't get it right just set it to 100.

what about the bias control and the main color control? like i said there seems to be 2 color controls
1. the control named color
2. under advanced there is the gain/bias which one do i adjust first?
