Hi All-

Does anyone know what this correct measurement is (along with the units) and perhaps could point me to an inexpensive light meter that reads in such units?
Have a look Here it should shed some light on the subject for you.
By setting the proper Black level using the AVIA or DVE setups that you will get this will help you dramatically.
To set grayscale to the NTSC standard of 6,500 Kelvin, set contrast, brightness, color, and so on using test patterns designed specifically for each of these controls; You will usualy need to adjust the "red push" in the color decoder when possible in the service menu.
But yes to do it right you need a color analyzer to calibrate a set properly.
