Final Settings

To see my original settings, read Step 4.

Service menu, DLP section. All factory defaults except gain settings.

Regular menu settings. The only setting that changed due to the calibration was Contrast.

Contrast -22
Bright -1
Color +1
Tint +3
Sharp -15
Red +1
Blue -2
CLR Temp -2

Gamma: Standard
Theater Mode: Bright

Contrast Ratio (according to the SMART spreadsheet)

After initial detector calibration run:

Green 498.90 : 1
Overall 500.62 : 1

With the new settings:

Green 533.20 : 1 6.875% improvement
Overall 528.53 : 1 5.575% improvement

Graphs

The only graph I paid attention to during calibration was Color Intensity. SMART makes its gain adjustment recommendations in an attempt to get all three colors to track as closely as possible on this chart.

Color Intensity

Looking at the other graphs now, my projector isn't tracking standard gamma (2.2) very well. But it does track 2.5. This isn't depicted in the graphs below, but I can see it by entering 2.5 as the gamma in the Data Entry worksheet. I'm using the Sharp's Standard gamma setting.
