“I asked Vincent from HDTV Test to calibrate my Panasonic TX-50CX802B as I knew that the image on the TV was not the best that could be obtained from the TV. Post calibration the picture is brilliant. I was able to arrange a convenient time with Vincent, received a text message when he was setting off with his estimated arrival time and he arrived exactly on this time. Once at the house, Vincent promptly set up his gear to do the calibration. The equipment is clearly some of the best available as he was able to link his laptop software to the TV to calibrate precisely without needing to even use the TV remote. Throughout the calibration process, Vincent explained what he was doing and what the effect adjustments he was making would be. He was keen that I understood this and offered to slow down if he was going too quickly / too in depth for me to understand. He is clearly a perfectionist and was keen to make sure that the calibrated settings were the best they could possibly be. After he had finished we looked at various different programmes / Blu-ray and were able to compare the pre and post calibrated images. The results are brilliant with the image looking far more natural and realistic - arguably more 3D despite only being in 2D. The colours are amazing, a combination of the great Panasonic display (which was highly commended by Vincent on HDTV Test) and Vincent's expert calibration. Without any doubt, the colours are the most accurate I have ever seen on any display. Vincent later took the time to email me a document containing all the calibrated settings should the TV lose the programmed settings (i.e. if reset). The process was relatively quick, results amazing and Vincent is a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that has a high-end TV that has not been professionally calibrated.”

“I engaged Vincent to calibrate my new JVC X500 Projector. This was my first real high quality projector and I knew that getting it calibrated would be essential, especially after trying to make some of my own corrections by eye. Needless to say Vincent's calibration has made a night and day difference and was worth every penny. The process is entirely scientific and little is left to subjectivity; this is the only way to experience Blu-ray and DVD as the filmmakers intended. Don't hesitate.”

“To be honest I wasn't entirely sure I would see any difference. I was wrong. Colours are more vivid, skin tones more natural, blacks are deeper and there's an incredible depth of field now. Games are astonishing. Even my wife, who, by her own admission, doesn't generally notice such things, reckoned Corrie looks 'amazing now'. It seems like a gauze has been lifted from the screen. Vincent is a great chap, taking care to explain in suitably simple terms the whys and wherefores of what he was doing. I'd also taken his advice prior to arrival and spent next to nothing in some LED bias lighting. The combination of this and the calibration has made my Samsung look like a new telly. If you're spending this much on a TV, it and you deserve making it look like it should. Do it.”

“I got in touch with Vincent after getting frustrated with posterization issues on my Panasonic TX-P50GT60. He was helpful throughout the process, from first contact to the final tweaks, talking me through the stages at all times. It was fascinating seeing the tiny adjustments as they were made via Vincent's laptop (I foolishly thought he'd be there fiddling with the remote control for 2 hours). It was an often painstaking and time consuming process, but Vincent was obviously keen to get the best results for me. The finished article is fantastic. Posterisation issues are all but gone, and films look better than ever. The creation of isf night and isf day modes was handy, too, as the TV is in a bright room. The changes he made to 3D mode are like night and day, literally. 3D is now infinitely more watchable, with much brighter images that retain their clarity. I'd highly recommend Vincent's services to anyone wanting to get the most out of their purchase.”

“Vincent did a fabulous job in calibrating my Panasonic 4k TV - it really has made a huge difference to seeing films in particular in the way the Director intended.”

“I decided on a calibration on my Samsung UE55HU8500,after some research I happened upon Mr Vincent Teoh,on arrival he promptly set up his gear and explained what everything was for and then asked about my viewing habits,ie do i watch in the dark more than in the light,what I tended to watch and programme preferences,after this commenced a lesson in calibration,he showed me what he was doing on every step and fully explained the reason for doing it,he also encouraged any questions I had,so after an hour or so came the demo disks of Dark Night and Pacific Rim (3d) well all I can say is I was blown away with detail it was as if my bluray had been swapped for a 4k player it was really that good,so if you are thinking about calibration please ask Vincent he certainly knows his stuff Thanks Vincent Mark Grove”

“Vincent calibrated our Panasonic Plasma TV in July 2015. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I was very impressed by this, and by his determination to achieve the best possible results. The picture quality of our TV was significantly improved from what I had thought was pretty good starting point, and his visit was definitely worthwhile.”

“I have just had my Samsung TV calibrated by Vincent and I can honestly say I am very impressed; the picture is so so much better and true to life. Vincent kept me informed of his arrival time and arrived spot on time. I was keen to see how the calibration worked and Vincent took the time to show and explain all my questions. I play a lot of Xbox one so Vincent even set up the TVs Game mode for me. True to his word I received a full PDF with all my details just in case my TV ever got reset to factory Defaults. Bottom line is, if you are paying a lot of money for a TV do you self a favor and get it calibrated.”

“I was recently fortunate enough to get a Samsung EU65 JS9000 TV which Vincent has calibrated for me. I had left the TV with the default settings as I knew I wanted it calibrated by someone who knew what they were doing (as opposed to my usual clumsy fumblings). I can honestly say the difference in picture quality and realism is like night and day. The level of image detail I am picking up now is fantastic, to the point that I often forget to actually watch what is on the screen, instead finding myself a little hypnotised by the quality of the images. Vincent talked me through every step of the calibration, and asked for my thoughts and input throughout to ensure I was satisfied with the end result. Needless to say I am very satisfied and would have no hesitation in using Vincent's services again, or in recommending him to someone else.”

“I arranged for Vincent to come and calibrate my 2TV's, Panasonic TX-P50VT65 and TX-P42GT60. I was happy with the pictures produced before but after researching what Vincent does I decided to go ahead. As others have mentioned Vincent is more than happy to explain what he does and what the technical process is and why he is making the various adjustments. Depending upon how your screen is set up, will of course, determine the extent of the modifications and adjustments Vincent needs to make. The end result will be from dramatic to subtle. But even though my screens were on a "good" setting the difference is there and most importantly the modifications have maximised the potential of my TV's, which is what I wanted. Blacks are better, skin tones are extremely accurate - in a sense it is as if a gauze has been lifted from the screen! Make no mistake, even if you had access the equipment Vincent has, without a huge amount of experience and understanding of the process, one could not achieve the same results. So, yes it is an investment. But I truly believe if you have a decent TV and want to get the best from it, and watch the content in the way the director actually filmed it, and see their true representation of it, go ahead and ask Vincent to come and calibrate your TV. I only wish I'd asked Vincent to come and do this when I first got them installed. And if ever I change my TV's I'll be asking Vincent for advice on what to get next and ask him to come and calibrate them again!”

“My Panny AX902 already had excellent colours & screen uniformity. But Vincent made a excellent TV into fantastically marvellous one with colours that pop & shadow detail clearer. Calibration of one's TV is Highly Recommend. Vincent, thanks, top job!”

“Vincent came a long way to calibrate my TV, 100 miles, and phoned me up to update me on his arrival time. He is a very friendly person, easy to get on with and very knowledgeable. When he calibrated my TV he fully explained everything that he was doing in terms that someone who has little knowledge could understand and showed me what was going on with the software and the readings as he was doing it. My TV is an OLED that has to have certain aspects taken into consideration when doing a calibration and because of his dealings with the LG engineering team he is fully aware of these. He took time to ask me what I wanted calibrating, whether I wanted separate calibrations for day and night viewing and whether I wanted the game mode calibrating for my console. I had done some tweaking prior to his arrival and thought I had a good picture but it was nothing compared to what it ended up like when he'd finished. When he got back to Manchester he sent a follow up email with all the settings and the graphs I'd asked for. The picture is truly remarkable and the one thing that immediately stood out to me was the natural skin tones. Even the wife noticed which, as most guys will attest, is quite a feat because they notice stuff like this like we notice they've had a new hair do, ROFL. He may not be the cheapest but if you own one of the LG OLED TVs I would strongly recommend you use Vincent. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone.”

“Vincent came and calibrated my Samsung UE65JS9500. I thought the picture was pretty good before as I had set it up using a calibration disk. Boy was I wrong Vincent showed that the grey scale was off due to red saturation, adjusted flesh tone, colour and contrast. What really impressed me is that Vincent adjusted the brightness to suit my viewing environment i.e. set to 150 instead of 120. The difference is noticeable (even by the wife). Anyone who have invested in a expensive TV should get it calibrated as it really makes a difference.”

“We recently had our tv calibrated by Vincent Teoh from HDTVTest. We were quite happy with the 'out of the box picture' but were aware that full professional calibration would probably wring just a bit more out of the tv (Panasonic ZT65). Vincent talked through the calibration process at all stages and made it quite clear what adjustments were being made and why. All very interesting! We were expecting the picture to be a little cleaner and maybe a bit more 'balanced' - but wow! The results post calibration were quite significant; brighter screen, beautiful natural colour and an almost 3D quality. Oblivion bluray on this screen is staggering! Wish we hadn't delayed this calibration for so long now! If you have a quality screen that hasn't been professionally calibrated, get it done! The process of arranging Vincent's visit was smooth and efficient and nicely tailored to the customer. Just wish we had realised green tea was the order of the day! Got bags (literally) of the stuff!. Many thanks Vincent. Wayne.”

“Very pleased with Vincent's work in calibrating my Panasonic plasma tv. He provided a very professional and friendly service and kept me informed of the steps he was taking while calibrating, taking on board any comments or suggestions that I had. The result of the Calibration has far exceeded any of the out of the box pre - sets in there rendition of natural colour , superb black levels whilst still retaining all insight into the deepest of murky shadows onscreen. I would thorougly recommend anyone who is interested in getting the best out of their tv , to contact Vincent at hdtv . Not only does he provide an extremely punctual , friendly and professional service , but upon completion you can be confident that your calibated tv far exceeds - in picture quality terms , any of the current crop of ' off the peg ' sets currently out there up to and including Oled and hdtv. Thanks again Vincent Martyn West midlands.”

“A superb service by an exemplary ISF calibrator on a Samsung 55 inch HU7500. Took time to explain method of calibration, why and what adjustments he was making, and also answered numerous questions and queries with patience and in detail. An expensive television set is not real value for money until professionally calibrated for colours and vibrancy in image quality just as the director and technicians intended for viewers to see. That much was easily obvious on post calibration viewing. Would highly recommend Vincent from HDTV Test for anyone wanting their televisions calibrated for the best possible image quality attainable.”

“Very good service and pleased I went for the calibration, the results are fantastic! Good communication to organise the visit, which was long distance. Explained the process clearly and it was interesting to work through the detail together and see the variation in performance. Love my Panasonic 60ZT65 even more, Blu-Ray is remarkable!”

“I was lucky enough to have Vincent come and calibrate my Samsung UE55HU8500 the other day and I have to say, I'm over the moon with the results! Vincent sat down with me and took the time to explain the entire calibration process to me step by step as it was performed along with the advantages each step would provide. Vincent's attention to detail was fantastic and he went through and calibrated each and every input I use (even the problematic game mode). The results are simply fantastic, colours are extremely true to life and the level of detail that I am now able to see in scenes that were previously washed out is something to behold. After Vincent left he provided me with a full run down of the changes in PDF format just in case the settings were ever lost. If you are looking to have your TV professionally calibrated to ensure you really are getting the best out of it I would most definitely give Vincent a call!”
