Has anyone fine tuned their picture beyond the factory settings? If so, what do you recommend?

I gave the unit to a friend last Christmas. As I recall, there was a button on the remote (aspect ratio maybe??) that changed how the picture filled the screen. May have to hit it several times to get proper proportions.

I just customized mine. It took me awhile I just played around a lot till I found the right settings.

I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture. Was so relieved to see your mention of July 8th review and have thoroughly searched and a July 8th review is not available currently. There is a July 9th (as best I recall) lengthy review that mentions black tweaking must be done, but makes no mention of the actual settings. I recall seeing several weeks ago a reviewer gave all of his/her specific settings. If anyone can suggest further settings info, I'll appreciate greatly. I am considering returning my LN32A450 this week if I can't get more satisfactory settings. I have spent many hours trying to get picture details set for good picture.

I don't think it would be worth it for getting warrenty service. The fix is generally to set the iso to 60 or something and work with some of the functions. Problem was I believe autofocus tends to calculate the iso too high in certain lighting situations and so create alot of noise which appears to be outoffocus

The more I read about it online, the more it sounds like it's the iA 'algorithm' that is slightly flawed. Many blogs/websites all sight setting adjustments as the easy fix. Not so cool for someone like me that was hoping to rely on the iA for my day-to-day pics, but I guess it's a learning opportunity! Good luck yourself, I will say that other than this one issue I love every aspect of the camera. Will play with settings tonight to see if I can crack it.. ~Rich

Nothing beyond the on camera display crop, red eye, etc...you need a separate program if you want to do any significant tweaking

Go into your settings and you'll have to make a lot of changes to give it a traditional movie picture. I had a samsung and my 70 sharp and had same problems but it's actually a quick fix

Try using the ADJUST tab first, and avoid so-called "EDIT" mode. This pares down your options quite a bit. In addition start with the Smart Photo Adjust or whatever in adjust and look at how the recommended settings look. Then mess with the levers and knobs and see what all they do, and how they adjust the picture to get the look you want. Also, with Ultimate mode you can use their plugin that is bundled with it, which kind of does the same thing. Its meant for quickly doing basic improvements on a photo, with a few basic sliders that adjust settings.

Get out your operating manual. Find the page which tells you how to reset all options to factory default. Then I suggest you reduce the megapixels to 3 or no more than 5. That should solve your problem. If it doesn't your camera is a lemon.

My input is that the adjustments on the Samsung are no different than those you'd see on any other TV. That is, you can choose generic settings, or, you can go in to each setting (sharpness, contrast, etc.) and adjust it as you like. I think the picture is excellent with a few simple settings.....I've been really pleased with mine.

For me, the Sunset preset works best for just about everything without flash. I do agree that it's hard to get satisfactory skin tones with the camera in most settings. However, I am so pleased with the results I get from the Sunset setting that I haven't been unhappy. I do mean to create an array of settings under the custom setting, but I haven't gotten around to figuring it out yet. To be clear, I'm a big fan of the camera: manual zoom and viewfinder are must-have features. I've taken thousands of nice pictures with this camera, bought refurbished from Amazon site for under 200 dollars.

I have not changed a thing. The picture setup out of the factory was fine for me. It is so much better than my previous tv.

I didn't tweak much at all. I was content with the out of box picture but most importantly I LOVE this monitor and I'd recommend it 10 times over.

Did you tried to reset to factory settings first to have the base settings? From there set up the picture contrasts color and brightness.

I've been very satisfied with the few low light photos I've taken so far by giving a little thought to setting up the shot and paying attention to the focus box in auto mode. I'm sure there are some override settings that would enhance low light shots but I haven't felt the need to use them yet.
