It all really depends on your own room. I tried several different calibrations that I found on the web and none of them are acceptable to me. I've found that I have to tweak each movie or show that I'm watching individually, but eventually I get to a good picture after practice. The HD channels are much better then the SD channels. I also found that the scrolling bar helps to cleanthe colors. It seemed a little brighter after using the grey scroll bar. I am still getting used to the lack of brightness versus an LCD, but the true colors are worth it.

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

Hi, I like a little sharper picture and found these to soften the overall view. Assume I adjust the sharpness numbers up? Is there another setting that impacts this look? Thanks.

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.

Hey Donald, I just replied to you on another one of these discussions and will do likewise on this one. Regarding the viewing angle, do any other 8 series owners think it... well... sucks? If I move so much as 5 degrees one way or another, the colors (particularly the blacks) start to fade. Wondering if this is one of the concessions for the 8 series' slim profile.

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.

Hi Tkh,I had the same problem as well. I got 3 black lines across the screen. I wonder how long does it take for them to replaced the lcd screen. At the same day? Thanks.

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.

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

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.

Jordan: Thanks for taking the time to reply: I must admit I knew NONE of the things U mentioned. I think I may try to find a calibration disk, or wud setting up my TV via the THX method set it for all input sources?

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!!

Ware - thanks for instructions, the good news and the calibrate info. Very much appreciated. I have two 970s and like them but for the big LCD I want to try to get as good a picture as possible so will order a 981. At least that looks like the best bet. I hope so.Whoops! Meant "...big DLP..." if that matters.Thanks again!

I have not found any settings yet for that but do not notice it very much or at all now. The screen looks so rich from all angles that I decided the keep the set since its one of best looking screens I have seen at this price range. I almost sent it back as other have noticed them as well, but at the end of the day I kept the set. If someone knows how to fix the issue post it here.

yeah sounds like a dead pixel. problem is if it's just 1 you're SOL. I had this issue with my sony lcd and Customer Support said that they'll warranty it for 15 or more dead pixels. Luckily my friend run a PC Richard so I exchanged it. If you look close and its the shape of a rectangle on a grid then it's a dead pixel.
