“Where do you start,well not being to boring i got into the lgoled scene late last year and purchased the 55ec930v curved model and after playing about etc i got a great picture,but i always want to upgrade so luckily ive just purchased the lgoled 65ef950v flat model its a true beast,after getting a few different settings on the net i wasnt totally happy,the picture was ok,but paying £3700 i want more than ok,so what do you do,easy answer contact the main man Vincent we arranged a date i he arrived very nice pleasant guy explains everythink he does on his box of tricks,i understood things more as he was explaining,anyway after a couple of hours he had done his job,put a couple of blurays on to test batman and pacific rim in 3d,well theres 3d and theres 3d normal 3d is excellent but after calibration you cant imagine the difference,the image practicaly touches you it comes out the set as thou your in it .the same night i watched 2 blurays aligent and the 5th wave,well the colors ive never seen such color skin tones are realist the backgrounds thou stand out like your there,the only problem after calibration is consentrating on the film because your to busy looking at the detail and colors of the scenes not to mention the pitch blacks and pure whites,had the darts on ,on skysports wow the colors of the lights etc are beautiful,rich colorful and the commentators skin tone and there clothes are so real.i could go on for ages but i herge anyone with a top notch tv to get it calibrated by the master,unless you have the knowledge and the equipment you wont get it how it should be,my oled is the best every and the calibration is worth every penny oh and it was a pleasure to meet vincent thanks”

“I have been looking to get my TV calibrated for some time now, after reading lots of posts on forums and different sites I got in touch with Vincent at hdtest. We had a chat and I decided to go for it. Vincent turned up on time (after texting the eta) we sat down and he talked me through what he was going to do and my personal preferences and he got to work. Vincent is very thorough in his work and after the calibration he made sure I was happy with the results before he left. May I just say that after watching avatar last night for the second time it was simply breathtaking. The scenery and characters were unbelievable the depth and colour is outstanding. Having had the calibration I would say to anyone with a decent TV to get it done! Vincent you are a star thanks so much for the service you provided it was nice to chat to you and to see you in action. This tv is definitely in another league thanks to you.”

“I Had my new LG OLED television calibrated by Vincent on the 4th of July and he arrived bang on time as arranged i had been watching it in the standard picture setting but i new this could be improved so i gave it a lot of thought because it is not cheap.But i had paid a lot of money for the television so i thought it would be worth it to get the correct picture. It took me a little time to get used to the look of the new pictures but i am very happy with it now. and if you want to email Vincent with any questions he will answer them very quickly .So i have been very happy with the service that he gives you.

“I have to admit that I was sceptical about the relative benefits of professional calibration when I requested a quote from Vincent at HDTVtest and initially was undecided. However because he was in my area and had kept my details on file I decided to give it a shot...well all I can say is WOW!!! Firstly the service is hugely individual and Vincent takes as much time as you need to explain every step of the process so even to the uninitiated you can understand what is being altered and corrected. Once complete you have the opportunity to see side by side the difference between calibrated and your own best guess, the difference is remarkable. The subtlety in colour, tone and contrast is simply sensational and you finally get to see what the Director and Cinematographer actually intended. Simply put if you are purchasing an enthusiast grade TV then you need to budget for this service and these are the go to guys.”

“Bought the latest LG Oled 55" in May and whilst colours were good, watching sport was frustrating . Experienced ' juddering' as well as a shadow around the moving ball. Retailer agreed to take back the set but I was still of the view that I had bought the best tv. It was then suggested to me that I explore professional calibration. Delighted we did. Found Vincent via website and the result is stunning. Problems resolved and picture colour balance and clarity of picture superb. Having already spent £3k plus buying the TV set, the best investment was the calibration. If in doubt, go for it, worth every penny.”

“I thought I had an excellent picture on my Panasonic TX-P60ZT65B. But Vincent made it a whole lot better! It was a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Highly recommended.”

“i have a Samsung JS9000 48 inch curved tv and for nearly a year now i have been messing about with the picture on various sources but always the picture was never correct and disappointing for such an expensive tv to the point i was about to trade it in for the new LG OLED HDR tv my main reason for this was that i have just purchased a 4k HDR panasonic blu ray player - while reading some reviews on HDTV test i come across this link to have my tv calibrated so i thought well lets give that a go - very quick reply from Vincent and reading the reviews from other customers i arranged for Vincent to come out to my house in Reading (Vincent is based in Manchester) - now Vincent is a total pro and a perfectionist and being one myself really impressed me the way he explained every single adjustment and how the tv should be mounted to the wall an easy tilt adjustment as i had never even noticed the picture difference between sitting down and standing straight on - anyway vincent spent nearly 4 hours calibrating my SD/ HD , HDR , 3D , and gaming settings and all i can say is this guy should be on tv as he is a miracle worker my tv picture now looks amazing on all sources i have tested various movies etc and wow i cannot stop smiling - yes its expensive at just over £400 but well worth it especially when i was considering spending £2700 on a new tv then i would have needed to spend this amount again have it calibrated!! so vincent has saved me £2700 !!!! and i have a picture to die for and looks better than the tv i was good to purchase !! - if you are thinking about this service i fully recommend it - vincent is a pro , very pleasant guy and does not mind whatever you request him to do (to your tv that is!) - GO ON DO IT TODAY AND SMILE AT YOUR BRAND NEW TV !!!!!! 100 out of 10!!!”

“This is the second Time I have had Vince Calibrate my TV The first time was last year.I had to have it redone because I brought The SEK3500 Box this year which gives you basic HDR Better picture etc Well I can tell you the SEK3500 does improve the picture very much so. And once Vince fiddles about with the settings then it goes up another level!As before Vince shows you what is happening as he is doing it and explaining it all and answers any questions you wish to ask . ( I now Know what all them graphs mean on AV Forums when I did not have a clue before it went right over my head). The other thing I will say about Vince he is a perfectionist of the highest order. I will be having Vince calibrate my Projector, & New TV which I will get them So I do not think I could give a better compliment than that & because he will get every last bit of improvement he can from your Projector or TV Thanks Yet again Vince for doing a great Job Looking forward to seeing you again Hello Vince I hope you are keeping well and busy of course. I am here to give you a update since you calibrated my TV for SEK 3500 I have tried a few bits and it is fantastic it has taken my breath away I have never been this pleased with a TV as much as this one and now even better with SEK3500 . I thought to myself go and have a look at the Samsung K series and seeing what I am missing. Picture wise not a lot in actual fact I was pushing hard to see any difference between the k900/800 to my 7500 so then watched a few HDR demos I thought it was to much in your face but I preferred my HDR on the 7500.Since the calibration and upgrade to me it is like owning a new TV and will keep this one for a few years.Like you said you are a perfectionist and you can see it in my TV and the care you took in getting it right and I am very happy what you have done and can not wait until I get you to do my projector when i get it. I just would like to know how do you calibrate a projector on a 7ft screen ;-) do you use a bigger version of that tool you use to do my TV or do you put the one you have on a tripod and move to different parts of the screen. Anyway Vincent yet again Thanks for making my TV look so great. Looking forward to see you again in the not to distant future. ( next time i make sure I have some ice cold drinks in the fridge ) Warmest Regards Eric.”

“Vincent arrived on time, he was very well presented, introduced himself with a handshake and then proceeded to tell me of what he does and that if I was not happy with the calibration then he would try again and again until I was happy. At every stage he explained what he was doing in a way that I could happily understand and bless him he answered a plethora of questions from me. My TV now looks better than the day I bought it, Samsung 8500 Curved TV, settings are good for all media that I watch, overall I would have no qualms in recommending Vincent and the service he supplies.”

“TV LG 65G6 OLED Vincent recently calibrated my Tv , Vincent was on time , very personable and most importantly has calibrated the tv to provide an outstanding result. He happily explained what he was doing and took the time to show 'before and after' views and this was copied to all my inputs? I also have the results in pdf form . Vincent comes highly recommended for anyone who wants the best picture out of a new TV .”

“It was a pleasure to meet the highly professional and knowledgeable Vincent Teoh who is the Editor of HDTVTest. Having been reading Vincent's review since the website started and those reviews having informed me and helped in the last two TV choices, I had no hesitation in investing in a professional calibration of my 4K 65" Panasonic AX902...and what a difference it has made! The colour balance, light output, shadow detail and depth of the image is what I always hoped for when purchasing this TV. To anyone debating whether to invest in a professional calibration...just do it. You will not regret it and based on what you will likely pay for a high performance display it is almost a no brainier. Vincent was engaging and ready to explain each step of the calibration...so aside from a thoroughly enjoyable geek out session it was also an education. Time to watch all my BluRays again :o) When I buy an OLED screen I will be straight on the phone to my new buddy. Ten out of ten. Thanks Vincent! Tony B, Hampshire”

“Fantastic service from Vincent at HDTVTest - he arrived bang on time and was very smart and polite. He talked me through every step he was taking in the calibration process and was very thorough in optimising the settings on my Samsung, making sure I was happy with what he was doing. I was very pleased with the results, and Vincent had retained my original settings so that he could show back-to-back comparisons of various scenes and I could really see the differences - more life-like colour, much better rendition of darker scenes, and better sense of depth. I'd always expected that a professional calibration would result in more subdued colours, but not a bit of it - colours are still fantastically vibrant, it's that they're just properly balanced. A happy customer.”

“I am throughly delighted with the work Vincent did calibrating my projector, the picture and colour quality are now far better than I thought my projector capable of. The process took a couple of hours and was very involved, Vincent clearly being a bit of a perfectionist. He was very professional and courteous in my home and was happy to explain what he was doing and why while he worked. Once calibrated, we played some test footage to make sure I was happy with my new picture before he left. I was a little unsure about getting this done as I wasn't aware how much difference it would make. Having seen Vincent's work first hand, I will certainly use him again for my next blub/projector and hope to have him return to calibrate my TV's too.”

“I have had my Samsung UE55D8000YUXXU for a few years and have never been quite satisfied with the picture but have never been able to improve it to my liking by tinkering with the settings. I had heard about software callibtration but there doesn't seem to be many people that provide that service. I found HDTVtest on the internet whilst researching TVs and decided to try them out. I have been very satisfied with my TV picture since it was calibrated by Vincent at HDTVtest. Vincent was very professional and enthusiastic and was keen to explain and demonstrate the changes he had made. He provided me with two lots of calibrated settings, one best suited for daytime viewing and one for night time. You definitely need the two different calibrations and I have been using them both with excellent results. He also provided me with a document detailing the settings. I will definitely use them again when I do purchase a new TV in the future.”

“Thanks to Vincent my already great TV has been turned into a fantastic TV now it's been calibrated professionally by Vincent from HDTVTest. HD/4K/HDR content is now an absolute pleasure to watch beautiful colours & motion settings are perfect now thanks to Vincent. As the calibration took place Vincent kindly explained every step of the way. I highly recommend getting your TV calibrated so you can get the most out of it. Your's sincerely William.”

“Vincent was very helpful in giving instruction and advice during the calibration. He talked through what and why he was adjusting settings and delivered advice to the appropriate knowledge level i was at. Job was completed in a few hours, although i assume if you have multiple HDR sources will take longer, and content looks good now. The most noticeable difference for me on the LG OLED55E6 is that i can watch sports without struggling with motion blur. HD content looks good and Dolby Vision content looks amazing! Netflix 4K seems to be hit and miss as they sometimes only send down in 1080 which is annoying, but not calibrators fault :) Highly recommend for anyone looking to get the most out of their Ultra UDTV”

“I cannot recommend this service enough. I had debated for a few months whether to have my tv professional calibrated and after doing some research contacted HDTVTest and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Vincent was punctual, polite and friendly, answered all my questions and talked me through the calibration. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he calibrated the 2D picture for freeview, blu ray, ultra hd blu ray and 3D blu ray. The results between pre and post calibration are night and day and I will definitely be using Vincent for any future TV calibrations I need.”

“I've been meaning to get my Panasonic Plasma (TX-P65VT65B) calibrated for a while now. I am really enjoying the new depth and vibrance of the picture. Everything looks much more natural as the picture had a noticeable skew toward blue prior to calibration. Vincent is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy, he explained everything he was doing which I really appreciated. Vincent also managed to fix an annoying issue for me that had been bugging me for a while, where the picture wasn't truly aligned with all of the sources (it turned out disabling the pixel orbiter resolved this). If you are thinking about calibrating your TV but are unsure, all I have to say is don't hesitate to get it done. The difference is like night and day so it's money well spent for something you will be looking at for years to come... your eyes will thank you :-) Sean Chin”

“Outstanding service from Vincent. He came to see me at short notice, recalibrated not just my tv but my Denon amp and other inputs. Picture looks clearer, crisper and with no sign of the judder I'd previously experienced. I was very impressed with the way he sent me a copy of the configuration in case I ever have to do a factory reset. Brilliant service !”
