“Vincent calibrated my Sony KDL-W829B for 2D last week (3D calibration was forgone because it's not important to me) and I'm delighted with the results. The calibration took just over an hour and Vincent guided me through the process of what he was doing and why. We then alternated between my best settings and Vincent's and there's no doubt about it, Vincent's calibration was much better. Night scenes on my settings looked washed out compared to Vincent's, which had detail as well as darkness, and day scenes looked similarly improved. I simply had no idea my settings were so far off, but as we alternated between the two, it was easy to see which one looked better and perhaps more to the point, correct. Vincent also added a daytime setting to compensate for a bright viewing environment because although it was dull and overcast when he visited, my living room can become quite bright from mid-afternoon onwards - especially during summer. I heartily recommend Vincent's services because after an hour's measuring and tweaking, the picture looks good... the picture looks cinematically good! DJ”

“If your thinking about getting the best possible picture from your HD/4K TV,then this calibration service is top notch and well worth the money. After the very polite knowledgeable Vincent had finished my calibration,we went through a few test scene's and was very impressed with the difference-he show's you the scene with the original setting's and then after the set up setting's,straight away the difference is apparent, even with the set up jig in front of the TV-more depth,colour,clarity. After Vincent had gone i sat down to watch one of my all time favorite film's Aliens,never before have i seen the Alien's themselves with such clarity,they looked like they were coming out of the screen,a jaw dropping-WOW !!! At time of writing i have only spun my old blu-ray's because i cannot believe the difference even on my old blu ray's,it's like watching a new film,it certainly has put a smile on my face,the latest release film's must look fantastic. I have 4k on netflix,and this is even more impressive,stroll on more material in this format,it's like a window in front of you.:-] My kit-Samsung 65JS8500,Panasonic DMP-BDT700,Yamaha YSP 2500,i'm now a very happy chappy. A big thank you to Vincent.”

“I bought a lg 55ec930v oled tv about 3 weeks ago and i thought the picture was good out of the box however i have used vincent before to calibrate my last tv so i was going backwards and forwards whether to get it calibrated or not and believe me if your wondering whether it is worth the money or not i can tell you it is worth every penny vincent is a genuine bloke tells you what he is doing every step and if you have any questions he will answer them , as for the picture of the tv now all i can say is wow the colours are spot on skin tones are right blacks are black whites are white and their is a pop effect and real depth to the picture also vincent sorted out the motion flow for me ,when he has finished his calibration he shows you before and after and you dont realize how wrong the settings are overall i am thrilled to bits with the picture and vincent does a professional job i would recommend him to anyone thinking of calibrating their tv”

“Vincent calibrated 2 Samsung TVs for me last week. He was very polite, attentive and professional in his whole approach. He explained the process and was happy to answer questions as the calibration progressed. Service really good, answered all my queries in run up to calibration and travelled to Glasgow to complete work. He even made it back down South, safe and sound.”

“Got to say had calibration done before and at first with my Gen 3 oled 65" was um and agh about having it done but boy oh boy am I glad I had Vincent in to do my tv , the whites and blacks are better than my ref panasonic plasma ever was ( first time ever on any of the other TVs I have tried ) the colours are just outstanding after he had done his stuff and I mean done it no five minute job , pro job and brill explanation of what and why etc was being done and I have had TVs done before and Vincent's work was second to none and would use again on any other oled or plasma without a second thought and has also been great to chat to afterwards and provided full pdf settings via email within 24 hours ! Superb around service loads of knowledge and superb punctual service A***** made my personal setup with a off the shelf calibration disc look poor to be honest well worth the investment in my opinion. Makes my Samsung 2014 model and my Panasonic 2015 model look ordinary a total joy to watch both normal tv and also blurays and 4K content it's a shame so little available to view to do the calibration and the oled justice. If buying even a reasonable TV it's worth investing a little extra to see it at its best ! .”

“I am really please with the picture quality of my Samsung LS9000 Television since Vincent carried out a detailed calibration of the set. I found him to be a really nice person and patience to a fault. I would strongly recommend him to anybody who is thinking of having their television calibrated. Marks out 10...most definitely 10.”

“Having read the reviews and seen tweets on previous jobs, I am happy too say Vincent lives up to the excellent reviews received. Not only did he explain the steps taken during the calibration process, the patience shown throughout had both my sister and I extremely impressed with him and his obvious passion for what he does. I have fallen in love with my TV again in it's newly calibrated state ... and btw Vincent -'Pacific Rim' rocks in 3D!!”

“I spent a very pleasant afternoon calibrating my LG 55EF9500 OLED TV with Vincent. I learnt a lot about the calibration process and what the different factors are. He even showed me some little secrets that had an excellent effect on the TV. The picture is now amazing and in particular the floating black issue is much improved. He is not the cheapest calibrator out there, but the service is excellent and the results are very impressive.”

“If you’ve just bought a UHD TV I’ve got some bad news for you. Once all the “oohing and aahing” is over a terrible realization will come over you. You will be watching films expecting to be watching them as you would in the cinema but there is a problem. The picture is lit so brightly it looks like it was shot on a hand held camcorder. This is clearly not how the film’s director intended you to see their film. I have a Samsung. Vincent of HDTV pointed out that I was watching the films with the picture in “standard mode”. What Vincent will do is to select the “movie mode” on your TV which allows for the picture to be extensively manipulated. Using his advanced re calibration techniques he will set the picture to match the internationally recognized standard that Film makers use for picture quality. The result is that you can finally watch films (and other TV programmers) as the Director intended. In my view there is still a place for the having an overly bright picture. For example when watching TV made in the 70s and 80s. Having an overly bright screen does make the picture far more attractive. All you have to do is to revert to “standard mode” and then switch back gain to the recalibrated “movie mode” when you want to watch a film or a modern TV programme. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unless you have your TV re calibrated you would have been better off watching your old HD TV”

“Vincent took great care to understand what we wanted to achieve and explained each step during the calibration of our Panasonic TX-P60ZT65B. The two profiles he created (night & day) are superb and way better than any settings suggested on user forums, with the picture now clearer with the right levels of contrast, saturation and sharpness. His service is highly recommended.”

“I purchased a Panasonic TX55CX802B in December 2015 and decided that I wanted to get it professionally calibrated by a qualified isf calibrator, so after reading many positive reviews I decided to contact Vincent Teoh from hdtvtest. After a few emails back and forth we finally agreed on a mutual date for Vincent to visit me and calibrate my set. Vincent was punctual and arrived just when he said he would, he was very polite and respectful and professional. He talked me through the whole process and explained what he was going to do and what each piece of specialist equipment did, which I really appreciated as I have always had an interest in av. It took a couple of hours but it seemed to go by very quickly. He showed me the before and after results which I thought was a nice touch along with some test footage which was also good. I am extremely happy with the results of my calibration and also to have met Vincent and to have been able to watch him work his magic. I would definitely recommend Vincent if you have purchased a new TV and are thinking of getting it calibrated. Vincent also was kind enough to supply an email with an pdf file of my calibrated settings which I thought was a nice touch. All in all I am glad I had my TV calibrated by Vincent and am extremely happy with the picture quality now. Definitely worth the money.”

“I had already set my LG 55EG960 OLED TV to the recommended calibration by a well-known review site. Although there were some genuine improvements over the original factory settings they also clarified they were not reference quality. This left me with a dilemma, leave it or spend a considerable sum on professional calibration, enter Vincent! Have no qualms about is it worth it – without question there will be noticeable improvements, Vincent is meticulous in his methodology, starting with a fact-find to establish expectations. He explained every step and went the extra mile to ensure he delivered complete satisfaction. The cost is a mere fraction of a pence per viewing day, surely a no-brainer to see massive improvements in colour saturation, white balance and overall clarity.”

“I thought I had an already great picture from my uncalibrated Panasonic AX902B 4K LED TV. How wrong was I. Vincent spent several hours tweaking the AX902B to virtual perfection. He was always explaing and showing me via graphs on his laptop how his ISF calibration was improving the overall picture quality. At the end of it all I had a magnificent picture. Colours looked vibrant and true. Pictures looked more realistic with greater depth, even the dark areas of the picture showed detail I had never seen before. Amazed at the difference. But the one thing that astounded me the most was the 3D ISF calibration. WOW what a difference, 3D never looked so good. My fiends and family members also see the huge improvement. This TV has gone from being great to fantastic. Thank You Vincent. Keep up the good work.”

“I decided to professionally calibrate my TV as I had had enough of endlessly tweaking TV settings. After doing significant research I settled on HDTVtest based on the reviews and very reasonable price. Not convinced on it being worthwhile, I met with Vincent who was very punctual and kept ne informed on arrival times etc. Straight away I liked Vincent he is an absolute perfectionist, this was highlighted by the fact as he was working on settings and already achieving the industry standard results for certain settings, he was not satisfied until he got each setting as perfect as he could, I was really impressed that he took the extra time, made the extra effort to get it just right. I very rarely write review but then again I very rarely get what I pay for these days and in this case, more than what I paid for. Vincent is very good he knows what he is doing and goes the extra mile, I had questions after he had completed the calibration and left I would ask them by texting and he continued to provide support long after the day. Was it worth it? Absolutely! The TV looks stunning, I will never purchase another TV without getting it calibrated by Vincent - the best example of money well spent in a long time, I would highly recommend Vincent if you are considering calibrating your TV and I will continue to use him in the future. Overall Excellent!”

“After choosing to invest in a major upgrade of my home theatre setup it was a no brainer to also ensure that my TV was calibrated. The process was in depth and the result vastly improved the picture quality of my TV and it was worth every penny.”

“Vincent turned up promptly, and got to work on my Panasonic very quickly. With clear explanations he was able to show real-time changes to the grey scale. When Vincent had finished we reviewed what had been changed and I got him to lock the settings so they couldn't be altered. It was immediately clear that a greater level of detail was visible. Facial detail was enhanced with more natural skin tones and a greater depth of field, the contrast on a concrete skyscraper with blacked out windows showed better line definition around the windows edges. I love natural history programmes, so put on the BBC David Attenborough Blu-ray of AFRICA. The first chapter contains an Elephant full screen with very rough textured skin folds under the chin and groin, it was easy to detect the greater detail with the new settings. I spent the afternoon watching mountains and oceans from all over the world unfold in rich and deep texture before me. . The natural greens of the Congo Delta, the blue / green hues of the sea around Hawaii. Droplets of water with reflective surfaces, and shadows in caves with head-cams! So not a lot of work got done. Apparently we're watching Inception again tomorrow. Over the weekend I've managed to watch more of my collection, and in every case been able to detect a more natural picture with almost a 3D effect to background. I can fully recommend Vincent's work and hope to spend many more hours enjoying the results.”

“I am more than happy that I spent the money to have my SamsungUE48JS8500 recalibrated. The improvement is very noticable and it the picture is distinctly more natural than the settings I had used before. Many thanks, Vincent! Brian Morris”

“Since the very first interaction with Vincent, I have always found him to be polite, professional and accommodating. The work he carried out was first class and he was more than happy to explain the process at each step of the calibration. When spending the money we now do on TV[s] it makes sense to get the best picture possible from your unit. Vincent will provide this and more, highly recommended.”
