To do this, you have to be able to calibrate the Lookup Table in the electronics
driving the panel. The only way I know to do this is to use a real computer
and the TV panel as its display. You then use a colorimeter device to calibrate
the display and save the lookup table offsets into a standard color profile.
HOWEVER, it is doubtful that any TV will have the required dynamic range and
certainly not the color space to faithfully render a silver photograph. For
computers, photo capable monitors do exist and they've come down in price a lot.
Dell makes a 24" model for around $500. But, I am aware of no TV that does
this. There are larger photo capable computer monitors but they get pricey in a
hurry.
