calibrate tv to 5500?

[ratso]

clint mentioned on an AV rant that it was really cool to calibrate your tv to 5500 instead of 6500 to watch black and white movies. i would like to try this, but i suddenly realized i don't know how? could someone (anyone, clint?) give me a basic idea of how you would do this? i use an eye-one and HCFR which is just set for 6500.

Is the d55 setting for lcd panel? Also is it for a different input the your current d65 setting? What source are you calibrating from? What did your manual say. I know spectra has the option.

yes, bandphan it is for my samsung lcd. i don't have a built in 5500 setting. i was just thinking that maybe there was a simple way to calibrate for 5500 using HCFR (i was kinda hoping that maybe there would be a different set of xyY numbers to calibrate to that would correspond with D55 instead of D65? maybe i'm completely off base here). i have 2 custom inputs that allow detailed calibration on the samsung (there are actually 3 modes - dynamic, standard and movie but only standard and movie allow custom settings). i use movie as my D65 calibration, and was thinking about making standard the 5500 calibration.

found my answer: click "Change White" and change D65 to D55 in the Preferences of HCFR.
