Has anyone taken the time to properly calibrate this TV? What are your settings?

No, I did not calibrate the colour settings. I'd say the picture quality was just great - out of the box. I know other models or brands need to be calibrated, but in this case, I don't know how the picture could be any better.

I don't plan on having it professionally calibrated. But I did buy the Disney WOW calibrating disc from Amazon. According to AVS forum this is a good way to inexpensively calibrate a TV

Yes, I have my 65 inch Aquos set to a picture that is pleasing to me. After initial setup, I was running the contrast way to high. Now I have lowered the level and also made adjustments to a few other settings. They are as follows: contrast 55, brightness 50, color 35, tint 0, sharpness 10, color temp: custom, green offset 114, enhanced color normal and active contrast medium. I am running the backlight at 100%. I have motion enhancement off and power saving off. Hope this information helps you.

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

Have you used a calibration disk of any kind? I recommend the "WoW" from Walt Disney. It improved my picture even though it wasn't off much.

So its not really 120hz or... what? I just bought the LN40C630, and I notice a lot of juddering still, like its not really working. In the store compared to the other tvs this one looked great during action scenes, but now that i have it in the house, i swear this thing is just as juddery. I messed with the settings for auto-motion and it seems like it may have even gotten worse *confused*....

I have noticed a very slight delay which was resolved using the SYNC function. See Page 9 of the users manual and try ON and OFF under the SYNC function. I understand some customers had more noticeable SYNC issues which may be due to older TV models.

Kenneth ... was it the same model TV??? Did you take a remote and adjust picture setting to be exactly the same on both TVs? Where you standing at least 5 feet away from the tv??? if not, you didn't do an apples to apples comparison.

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

I am also having a problem with color calibration. Did you ever figure it out???? Thanks.

I don't really have a good answer for you. If you look through some of the reviews on here, I think somebody has a some calibrations that you could try. Here is another set you can try from this webpage http://www.avsforum.com/t/1438531/my-samsung-un55es7100-calibration-runsdown#post_24285145 but as the forum explains, this is just a baseline since every tv is different. To have paid this much for this tv, I think mine is messed up or has issues with lighting board in it because in dark scenes, it is very noticeable in showing a flicker from either being dark or a lighter black. Samsung is supposedly going to send a tech out and look at it under warranty and hopefully they fix it and the messed up wifi issue.

Did you set it up properly, by connecting it to the tv? I did not have this problem. And yes the user interface on this thing is horrible. But it works.

I'm glad I found your post Alan... I almost sold this TV over the OPC issue. I found it terribly irritating, but turning it on and to 1 fixed it.

Does anyone have color settings for the TV, I have looked everywhere but can't really find settings. Please help?

That is a pretty subjective question, but here are the video settings my TV has right now on the Calibrated setting: Backlight - 99, Brightness - 60, Contrast - 70, Color - 50, Tint - 0 (that's the middlemost value), and Sharpness - 60.

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 own the VT60 and plugged these calibration settings in after about a 350 hour break-in. The outcome is so incredible and made me have my ah ha moment with this set. http://reviews.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/panasonic-plasma-tv/panasonic-vt60-picture-settings.html
