There's a good calibration here - try this link http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/sony-lcd-tv/sony-kdl46hx750.html

Thanks! I've been looking at the TVs in stores and I really like this one. There is a Sony model that is one up from this one, but it costs about $500 more.

I'm assuming your Sony Bravia has a VGA port, also known on some tv's as a "PC" port, check to make sure first; if that's the case, you can simply run to your local retail store (Walmart, Target, Radioshack) or continue looking here online or at ebay for a VGA cable. The only thing to watch for in that case was that each end of the cable look the same, with pins rather than holes. Simple.

Hi Mike, Good question, I'll give you my "best guess" answer. I have had this great TV since April and searched the web for the same information. First, its not bad right out of the box. Second, seems the recommended settings vary for 2D and 3D, ambient light conditions and to some degree the signal source each of which can ALSO have a range of settings. I have left the settings on the signal source devices at default levels and made the suggested adjustments on the TV. I have the Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark Blu-ray DVD but have not used it with this TV, as yet. I have used the settings found at http://www.soundandvision.com/content/samsung-un75es9000-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and just tweaked them a little bit for personal taste. Good place to start. Please advise if you find another source for useful settings. It's a great 2D TV and paired with a good 3D player, it does a good job of 3D as well, especially with little ambient light. Professional calibration is always an option as well. Best Regards, Marc

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!! http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Viera-TH-58PZ800U-58-Inch-Plasma/dp/B001DSYNB0/ref=pd_cp_etk_ce_av__0?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001EBEPXW&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1FAQ4JWD2M00FX3N57W0

Any brand will work. But, DON'T BUY A SONY BRAVIA TV!!! We bought 2 of them, both developed terminal picture failure in less than 3 years, wasted a fortune on these TV'S...if you insist on buying this brand, spend the $$ for long term extended warranties.

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

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

I sit about 14 to 15 feet away from my KDL-70R550A and the picture is OUTSTANDING with HD programming. The only time I see any lines or distortion is when I get very, very close to the screen, about a foot away.

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!

Just turn the 120hz (TruMotion) feature off (the TV will still refresh at 120hz, it will just have the stupid TruMotion feature disabled) in the advanced picture options, and your problem will be solved. In addition, if you have a Blu-ray player, set it to output at 24hz instead of 60hz. Now you will have amazing picture quality.

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

One thing I would like to know if this TV handles 1080p/24 correctly. According to cnet and other source 553 did not handle 1080p/24 correctly and used a 3:2 pulldown. That would lead to motion artifacts in some scenes.

Sorry but I can't help you. I returned the TV because the picture quality was not acceptable. I replaced it with the 7000 series and I am very happy.

I have the 55 inch- make sure your using HDMI AND NOT COMPOSITE JACKS- that will make a big difference-also the vibrant setting may look good on some channels but your better off with Natural- I use "Personal"and set brightness to 50 , contrast 95 and sharpness 60, color 47 , backlight 85, tint 1 and color temp 0 also SABC on, but again this is all your personal taste- as for me , these setting give a beautiful picture

At the minimum I would suggest a sound bar--strongly suggest connecting tv to a smart receiver with surround sound. Don't get cheap now you already spent the money for a quality picture ---get the sound to match!
