On Marquee.
Low brightness and high G2
Or High brightness and low G2?

Would there be any benefit in doing ether?
Usually brightness is left at 50 and then G2 is set after that.


IIRC some have done low brightness and high G2 to get better SNR but what do you experienced say?

I'd like to know the answer and the reasoning for this too...

I find Marquee's somewhat difficult to set up for greatest range of use...the brightness range seems to be so easily compressed, having a very fine control via a very large brightness range is preferable to me, but difficult to obtain.

Hello


High G2 will mask deep gray details; I currently recommend Briteness set around 44 for all sources. For G2, using the stairstep pattern, you want to just see the second darkest step on-screen.

I've never worked on a Marquee so do I have this straight? You set a global brightness control to around "44" and use each tubes G2 to adjust the lower IRE grayscale?
