THX tune-up features custom video test patterns, carefully selected photos and tutorials to help adjust and confirm the best picture settings on your display based on room lighting. Using special audio tests, THX tune-up also lets you check external speakers to make sure they are working in phase and are connected properly for 2-channel stereo or 5.1 sound systems.
THX tune-up is completely interactive — go through it at your own pace, in any order. Connect a supported iOS device to the display or sound system with an HDMI adapter & cable, or via AirPlay with Apple TV (3rd gen).
Locate the adjustment buttons on your TV and AVR remote controls and then follow the THX app tutorials which walk you through your “THX tune-up.” The app offers tips about your remote control, room lighting, viewing distance and other helpful advice.
Video adjustments
• Aspect ratio – ensure your TV displays shapes & sizes correctly
• Brightness – make certain shadow details & night scenes are clearly visible
• Contrast – confirm white detail is distinct on your television
• Color – make sure colors are bright & vibrant but not cartoonish
• Tint – check skin tones look natural & are not too green or red
THX tune-up uses your iOS device’s camera to set color and tint with a special built in color filter. Point the device camera at the TV screen and see if the color or tint is adjusted correctly.
Audio adjustments
• Speaker assignment – ensure speakers are connected to the correct AVR output & intended sound is coming from the correct speaker
• Speaker phase – confirm that positive & negative speaker wires are connected correctly and all speakers are in phase
Extras
• Turn “moo can” on & tilt your device to hear it “moo”
• Play extraordinary THX trailers (just like in THX Certified cinemas) to show off your newly tuned TV & sound system to friends and family
• Show off your audio system by playing “THX Deep Note” in 5.1 surround sound, just like in the theater
• Have a question for THX or just want to provide feedback? Ask Tex!

Ratings and Reviews
OK underholdning men..
..ikke helt seriøs nok. Det er postivt at THX på denne måde får gjort flere opmærksom, at der rent faktisk er standardisering for gengivelse af farver på TV, projektor etc. Der kunne dog godt være lidt mere information om dette og hvorfor det er vigtigt, i app'en.
Den vil også redde en del Hr. og Fru Danmark fra deres overmættede, fabriksindstillede, dynamiske farveindstillinger som de fleste fladskærme leverer i dag og som flere folk rent faktisk lever med at se på hver dag.
App'en er på ingen måde en erstatning for en professionel ISF kalibrering, foretaget af en autoriseret tekniker men man kommer et lille skridt på vejen mod det korrekte billede.
Det kan i øvrigt anbefales at tage et kig på kalibrerings blu-ray'en 'Digital Video Essentials' hvis man vil lidt videre end det - begrænsede - denne app kan tilbyde.
To stjerner for de inkluderede THX trailere.
Virker ikke
Kan ikke få den til at virke, den kobler godt nok op til TV, men der står bare loading THX too TV, og så sker der ikke mere.👎
Chromecast and AirPlay not working
Both the Chromecast and AirPlay features are not working.
Chromecast reports an error when trying, and opening the app while using AirPlay, makes the app crash.
