Anyone Have Optimal Setting for this Asus You Can Post? First off I love this monitor. Bright and crisp images. I do find some colors (mostly reds) to be washed out and have played with all the setting. With my Panasonic high End 50" v10 Plasma TV I found the optimal viewing setting for a dark room on CNET's Discussion forums posted by a CNET Editor. Of course I Google'd this and found nothing. I was wondering if anyone who owns this monitor can post the setting they are using so I and anyone else can give them a try.Thanks in Advance!Mike Anyone Have Optimal Setting for this Asus You Can Post?

I'd also like to know what settings other people are using. I have my PS3 hooked up to this monitor and blu-rays look terrible on it. My PS3 is set to 1080p output and still the blu-rays look extremely grainy and there's streaks in dark areas. I have no clue what to do. I took back another ASUS model because of this issue. I was hoping this one would be different, but it's not. Please, someone post your settings.

bought this monitor but when i hook it up with a HDMI cable is tells me i need to connect a VDI cable?? i can't get the menu to come up? the monitor came with no paperwork. NOt sure how to contact this company for tech support. I went on line and left a message and got a return message to contact ASUS in the USA but gave me no info on how to contact them. Please help

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

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

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

Awesome, thanks SD! The Panny G10 and V10 sets looks great and I love plasmas (have a Pioneer 5020 up in the bonus room), but I need an LCD for my living room due to a space issue (those 2 inches make a difference). If for any reason I don't love the B750, I'll be exchanging it for a 50" G10. Thanks again!

I have never seen this either of my plasma TVs, especially on the LG 60PN6500. Did you see this on display at a retailer? If so, some retailers will change settings to make the plasmas look worse as the margin is higher on LCD/LED sets. Hope this helps.

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

Thanks. I'm still struggling with the decision. I saw a review on CNET for the Vizio with full array backlighting with local dimming and the review said that there were still clouding issues. So, I guess I may as well keep this set if I'm not going to get a plasma.

I am responding to you on the one i bought . I'ts bright never had any problem with this monitor. my guess you have a defective one. sorry.

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

I would like to know this too. Is the screen excessively glossy? I know on some of the higher end ones they make the display very shiny which is incredibly annoying if you have even a dimly lit room. This set is priced in the middle range so I'm wondering how the gloss on the screen is. It's so hard to tell in the stores because they have the screens in a dark area and angled just so.

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture: Backlight: 80 Contrast: 78 Brightness: 56 Color: 39 Tint: -3 Sharpness: 25 All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off. Smart Dimming: On Tempest 790 put in a review in June of 2013 and this was his settings. I followed them and then made slight adjustments to fit our viewing. But, They as he left them are great. Hope this helps in your setup.

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv

I think the monitor is awesome. The colors are great and I have no major issues with the display. My minor complaint is that the display is exceptionally bright. I have my brightness setting set to zero and it was still a little too bright. I got used to it after a few days though.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.
