- I have really fought with this problem on my Sony 46" projection set.
- I could get the set calibrated for 6500K, but the color on normal
- program material was terrible. I almost took the set back. Then I
- found out 9300K works much MUCH better, both on the projection set and
- on my small Sonys.
-
- I really like the gray scales (parchment white and charcoal grays)
- that you get with 6500K, but program color (on both cable and
- laserdisk) looks good only on some material. Yellows are too greenish
- in all material and while you can get good flesh tones on some
- material, it looks too brownish and harsh on most programs.
-
- But with my sets calibrated to 9300K, I get very good grays and
- absolutely gorgeous color on almost all program material. Yellows are
- really yellow, grass is green, and flesh tones are soft and natural
- more of the time.
-
- Until the industry changes the standards for the NTSC phosphors, I'll
- opt for 9300K over 6500K.
