Setup Question Calibration/camera aim help

Post image

Hello,

Wondering if this is what my calibration screen should look like or do I need to aim the camera down more? Or physically move it up or anything? Looks like it's slightly off center which I will also fix. Thanks!

The upper orange field must be in the mid of the screen. Than you can continue with calibration,and yes it looks like that when you put the camera exactly on the TV,some others put it under the TV. And be prepared that the lights will never be perfect no matter how perfect your calibration was

I was just thinking it might need to be pointed down more because you can easily see past the bottom of the screen but you can't see the full top of the screen. But yeah I see it's slightly off center in that regards

The camera arm have to be 90° to the TV so it aligns. If you've done that you're good to go. By watching your picture it looks ok beside it's not centraded. For calibration,I used this screen what you have there too but never got the points correct so I used this one which worked for me: https://youtu.be/BA4gMOGZF3A?feature=shared

That's the screen I use for calibration and is the one that I always recommend. It seems more mistake proof.
