Mike,
I'm not sure exactly how you display the phone images on your TV. In my
case, I use DLNA. The phone and TV are connected to my home network. The
TV is set to DLNA mode and I run an app on my Windows Phone then select
the images to display on the TV.
Resolution is adjustable on the phone, in my case it is 1920x1080. The
color/tone quality depends on the TV, my Panasonic do a very nice job
here, no clipping on highlight and shadow, gamma also looks ok.
Not only for photo, it can also stream video up to H264. I can play
videos stored on my PC and WD Cloud through my phone to the TV.
If you stream image to your media box, there is chance that your media
box output the image through HDMI to your TV at PC level (0-255) but
your TV on that HDMI port is set to TV level (16-235) then highlight and
shadow might be clipped. You can change the input level of the HDMI port
but you may need to change it back when watching movies

Yes, you spot everything. This one was a bit of streamlined version w/o remote
for 49 bucks that plugs into a MHL port on the Oppo and uses the Oppo remote.
The Oppo is great. Unlike the AVR it just works--if the disk spins, it will
read it.. Firmware updates with permission w/o any hitch via wifi as needed.
It is a Leica of universal players. I wish my other AV gear were as good.
The minimalist Roku stick works (ed) fine for usual stuff. (as soon as I can
fix the AVR again that is) There are newer fuller featured Roku sticks that
support screen mirroring etc, but it is hard to keep up.
<<<Does it need "real" calibration? If just for viewing visitors' phone images,
wouldn't just tuning it by eye on a handful of good images, including people, do?
I don't know, but Roku has a Smugmug app too---and for MY images, after all the
effort, should be displayed as well as possible. I am told it does
resizing/sharpening on the fly and has reasonable reviews..
I had not mentioned the Smugmug issue in last post and agree ball park for most
guest phone images is probably OK. I surmise that Bravia TV should be able
to perform much better for Jpegs then I am seeing now.
There are probably some techniques to get close results using expensive
calibration tools.
Carol has had a long haul to recover from that nasty fracture. Glad she is
progressing well.
Mike
