Calibrate, Settings, Tweaking? Any advice on what to put the picture settings?

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

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

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better

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.

you could try going to Menu&gt;Picture&gt;Gaming&gt;More (at bottom for options)&gt;Color Temperature&gt; & change this to what you prefer. Also, maybe just changing the Picture Setting to something other than Gaming. The Picture gets almost 2x as bright when using this option.

This camera has a button to adjust the setting on it. You will need to play with it to adjust. Sounds like you have it set on mirror which is reverse.

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.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

I found that you can do small adjustments before scanning, mainly exposure, but I do more once I've uploaded it to my computer. The exposure adjustments are pretty good though.
