The THX Calibration tool that comes free on many THX Certified DVDs will get you in the right ballpark.

Rich, why do you feel you really need to tweek this TV so much. You stated that my earlier reply back to you, was not useful. Do you own this tv? IF not, no wonder you didn't like my reply. This television only involves minor tweeking of the Contrast and the backlight. This will drastically result in a better picture than those 3 standard settings. Do not mess with the color pallettes or anything elso at that matter. They are set perfectly to accomadate Toshiba's hd dvd players and so forth. hd input source from hd dish network/direct tv also looks great. If you are really into tweeking your set, my guess is that it will only hurt you with this tv. Toshiba really did a great job on this t.v. Not much messing around. It reallylooks wonderful straight out of the box. I would just set the contrast and backlight. thats it!!!

your tv is always displaying 120hz, what you see on the screen is what he input frame rate is so your tv is taking 60 hz and converting it to 120.

The default settings on this TV were nearly spot on. However, people get their TVs professionally calibrated for a reason. I for one, would rather use Cnet's or someone's post calibration settings then adjust for my lighting. Get a new HDMI standard cable. You won't regret this TV purchase! Enjoy..

You need to find the model number of the tv. The 1080p is yhe resolution and lots of tvs can be 1080p. You have to look usually on the back of the tv for a black square that has model and serial number

It sounds like you have a bad copy, i never had to calibrate mine and it is very sharp from pretty much wide open.

In the earlier reviews, someone recommended this reviewer's post on best settings. I followed these and found them to be better than the built-in selections. Short of hiring a pro, try this first. http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-la7400-picture-settings.html

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

If you look at the first review (from G. Lavery) for the TV on Amazon, a user posts cnet's suggested settings as well as their own preferred settings. I just ordered the TV and have been looking into the same thing. Good Luck!!Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ800U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

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.

you get the av cable and plug it in to the TV then plug the converter in to a power supply then plug the "VGA in" into your computer and then make sure the white switches on the side are correctly switched you may need to mess with them a little, then also use the buttons to calibrate it. Then it is done but its not very high definition so don't get your hopes up.

Hi Randy Ihara,Please connect this receiver to your TV and perform the Auto Calibration. Select [Settings] - [Speaker Settings] from the home menu and select [Auto Calibration]. Follow the instructions on the TV screen. Thanks. >Joffrey

The TV is probably stating that the source being input is 1080p. It is definitely being down converted to either 720p or 1080i on the TV, however. PN42C450 and PN42C450B1D are one in the same - the different model numbers probably have something to do with the reseller you bought it from; possibly a tracking code slapped onto the back of the actual model number.

In the future, just type in your television series number and the words "calibration settings" and you'll find the answer without having to wait for someone to supply it. These are CNET's recommended settings for all of the 7000 series sets... --Picture menu Mode: Movie Backlight: 3 Contrast: 89 Brightness: 45 Sharpness: 0 Color: 49 Tint: G50/R50 Advanced settings submenu Black tone: Off Dynamic contrast: Off Gamma: +3 Color space: Auto Flesh tone: 0 Edge enhancement: Off xvYCC: Off White balance submenu R-Offset: 24 G-Offset: 23 B-Offset: 26 R-Gain: 28 G-Gain: 28 B-Gain: 21 Picture options submenu Color tone: Warm2 Size: Screen Fit Digital NR: Off HDMI black level: Normal [grayed out] Film mode: Off [grayed out] Blue only mode: Off Auto motion plus 120Hz: Custom Custom settings: Blur reduction: 10 Judder reduction: 0 --Setup menu Game Mode: Off Energy saving: Off BD Wise: Off

not professionally calibrating your tv would be like trying to tune up a Ferrari Dino yourself (without the manual) to save money...but you will always wonder how well it should really run
