Wall color for HT

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Thanks, Smoke.
This has been a bone of contention with the bone-head for some time, but I stand by
what I say, you need a decent backlight, doesn't have to be bright, can be dim, but it
will enhance viewing a great deal, also time you can watch video without tiring.
Mine is on a dimmer , not a wall dimmer, they can produce interference, a light remote
with dimmer, and I usually set it at a level fitting the source. But there will always be the
hermit in a dark room crowd.

Look, you recommended the entire room be 6500k, which is ridiculous. An all white room will kill the contrast of the set, and cause blacks to look a solid grey after you calibrate your set in a room this shade. How stupid is that!

Bias lights are more helpful when the set is small, and you sit far away from it. Otherwise, it is pretty much unnecessary when you sit the proper distance away from the set.

Do you see any bias lights in a movie theater? No! The small lights you see down the isleways are not nearly enough light to counter what is happening on that big screen.
