What are people using for settings for the best overall picture?

I used the cnet recommended setup. No complaints from me. http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19410_102-589931/sharp-lc-60le650-picture-settings/

Great question. I use the aspect ratio on the remote or in the TV's menu, and select the ratio that best fits the picture that is currently playing. Hope this helps you out!

That depends on where you have the TV (high versus low light situations) and how you personally like your picture to look. I suggest that you just play around with it some until you get the look that you like.

Press Home, scroll left, then down to Picture. These settings produce the best picture for my tastes. I feel the store settings produce to much glare and may reduce the life of the set.Back Light - 7Picture - 64Brightness - 52Color - 50Hue - 0Color temp - neutral

The highest shooting setting is full HD at 1920 x 1080p, which translates to about 2.1MP. The picture should be very sharp assuming the display on your TV is also 1080p.

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

This is the hardest TV I have ever had problems with settings. Lot of this is preference but this this is what I have with dishnetwork 2D (tv service will make a difference). Picture Mode standard user, Blacklight 100, Contrast 80, Brightness 30, Sharpness 15, Color 50, Tint G21, Color Temp C50, Advance Control- Dyanamic Contrast high, Dyanamic color High, Super Resolution Medium, Gamma Low. I have not messed with 3D which is different. at least this will give you a start. Hope it helps.

Black level is very good; I'd say natural, without being "over-contrasty". I'm sure there are various setting recommendations in other reviews.

This is a common problem with some HDTVs. If you jack up the contrast and sharpness to maximum, you'll eliminate all the artistic qualities that make films look the way they do. I saw a bunch of demo units in the store showing Fifth Element and King Kong and they looked simply awful, exactly as you said: looks like shot for TV using a consumer digital camera. I prefer to watch movies the way the filmmakers meant for me to watch them. (though this is highly variable, due to people's screen sizes, color calibration settings, etc.) AutoMotion, TrueMotion, or whatever the manufacturers call it, may be fine for sports games and car races, but I don't want to mess w/ a film's original artistic representation. DPs (directors of photography) and cinematographers get paid tons of $$ to make a film look good and stylize. Why ruin it w/ edge enhancement, frame doubling, etc?

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.

Hey Mark, Try setting the camera to the "P" on the dial (stands for Program AE). Once you do, click the Q. MENU button on the bottom right of camera. Select the ISO setting and change it to 200 or 400. I'm having the same issues as you with this camera and its poor low light performance. To get better shots indoors, it helps to crank up the ISO to a higher setting. The downside is that the picture may come in a bit grainy. The higher the ISO, the more grain, but at least you'll have a brighter and clearer picture. At ISO 200 and 400, you shouldn't have too much grain for it to ruin the picture. Let me know if it works!

That feature is amazing. Place the camera setting on SCN and use "Action Sport Setting". Pics are unbelievable! This camera is a amazing. I strongly recommend it!

I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from. I am not a Pro, I just know what I like. I simply looked at all the preset calibrations in the menu, tweaking each one with the settings available in the menu. After a few days, I narrowed down to "Vivid and/or THX Bright room" selections. After a couple more days of tweaking, I have settled on the THX Bright room calibration. I still go to the vivid now and then. I also developed a nice custom picture setting that I watch sparingly for some unknown reason. All in all, you have to play around until you find what best suits your eyes. Or shell out the bucks for a professional calibration. Good luck, have fun. I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from.

Hi, the camera has settings defined for high motion scenes, plus manual settings that allow you to truly customize the camera to the fullest. To give you an idea, i take photos a hummingbird where their wings in flight are frozen in the picture. Thanks

I had not tried that feature yet. I usually only leave the camera at its native settings for the highest quality. I usually edit the photos/videos after the raw footage is uploaded to keep the full resolution.

I could not find all these settings? De-Juddr and De-Blur must be some "expert setting?" My menu didn't offer them? Do you know why? Thanks.
