We used the following calibration settings to test the NexiGo PJ40 Pro. Keep in mind that results can vary slightly between individual units, firmware versions, and picture modes, so you may need small tweaks if your unit looks a bit different.
These settings are meant to provide a solid starting point for accurate SDR playback in a typical living room. They aren't meant to be copied 1:1, and your best results will depend on your screen size, throw distance, room brightness, and wall/screen color.
SDR Picture Settings
For SDR content, you can choose a few different preset picture modes. We used the User picture mode because it allows for the most customization, including adjusting the projector's white balance (see below). We also set the Local Contrast Control setting to 'High.' All other settings were either left to default, disabled, or left off.
- Picture Mode: User
- Local Contrast Control: High
Gaming Settings
From the base SDR settings, very few changes are required for the best gaming experience. When you start gaming, it's best to enable the Game Mode and PC Mode to get the lowest input lag. The rest of our gaming settings are identical to our regular settings for SDR. Here are our settings for input lag testing:
- Picture Mode: User
- Game Mode: Enabled
- PC Mode: Enabled
Firmware
The unit we bought and tested was calibrated on software version Mon Aug 18 11:43:08 UTC 2025.
White Balance Settings
The following are the results of our unit's white balance and colorspace calibration. They're provided for reference and shouldn't be copied, as the calibration values vary per individual unit due to manufacturing tolerances. If you want to try them, you'll need to enter all the values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you end up with worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
