I know I'm joining this discussion late, however the Digital Camera Resource Page (DCRP) review dated March 2007 and updated in September, addresses this issue, specifically mentioning the "Bright" mode, and recommending that the user adjust the sharpness (to +2) and contrast (to +1). Once you've tweaked the settings, the reviewer (Jeff Keller) notes that the image quality is on a par with the best digital slrs in this general category. Happy shooting.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

I use the default Cinema mode for everything because it gives the most natural, calibrated image with minimal image retention. It looks best in a darker setting.

per consumer reports OPTIMIZED PICTURE SETTINGS. Our expert TV testers recommend the following settings for the LG 55LA7400 to get your image looking like the rated picture quality we saw in our lab. Accessing the picture controls is simple; press the menu button on your remote and navigate to the picture settings menu where you'll see most of the controls. To find some other controls you may additionally have to enter the "advanced settings" or the "picture options" sub menus (name may vary depending on model). Don't worry about making any "mistakes," you can always reset the picture settings to factory default if necessary. Consult your user manual for additional guidance. PICTURE SETTINGS.

Yes... Need to reset to personal taste. I used expert setting.out of box color too rich and bright for me. LED has problem with picture jitter or judder as LG calls it and soap opera effect. I prefer my LG LCD for over all picture

Did you tried to reset to factory settings first to have the base settings? From there set up the picture contrasts color and brightness.

I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture. Was so relieved to see your mention of July 8th review and have thoroughly searched and a July 8th review is not available currently. There is a July 9th (as best I recall) lengthy review that mentions black tweaking must be done, but makes no mention of the actual settings. I recall seeing several weeks ago a reviewer gave all of his/her specific settings. If anyone can suggest further settings info, I'll appreciate greatly. I am considering returning my LN32A450 this week if I can't get more satisfactory settings. I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.
