Envy. This small increase in the Dark Level setting can improve shadow detail. If you are using calibration software to calibrate the JVC through the Envy, there is no need to create a Custom Gamma, as you can pick your own target Gamma curve in the calibration software and use a standard Gamma such as 2.2 or 2.4 in step 1.

Therefore, the most critical HDR setting in the Envy is the peak luminance. The best way to determine your peak luminance is to display a 100% white pattern and measure it using 3 party calibration software or a handheld lux meter.

“sanity check” to help ensure everything is set up optimally: A. Play any 4K HDR movie (except Gemini Man or Billy Lynn). Check the Envy Incoming Signal Menu (press OK on the Envy remote when no Envy menu is active) and make sure that the “Framerate”...
