REKalil, you may want to purchase a calibration disc for a home theater display (TV), such as the AVIA or Digital Video Essentials discs. Each has directions and tools (e.g., sharpness patterns, color correction filters, etc.) so that you can perform a calibration of your TV in your ambient lighting conditions. It's best to purchase a high definition version of these discs as I recall that the color space is slightly different for HDTV compared to EDTV and SD, and your Panasonic is a full 1080p HDTV.

There is really no such thing as a perfect picture for everyone. You just have to adjust it to where YOU the individual viewer is most pleased. One persons settings will not be the same for another.

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

Press Home, scroll left, then down to Picture. These settings produce the best picture for my tastes. I feel the store settings produce to much glare and may reduce the life of the set.Back Light - 7Picture - 64Brightness - 52Color - 50Hue - 0Color temp - neutral

The default settings on this TV were nearly spot on. However, people get their TVs professionally calibrated for a reason. I for one, would rather use Cnet's or someone's post calibration settings then adjust for my lighting. Get a new HDMI standard cable. You won't regret this TV purchase! Enjoy..

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 the 50 F 6400 model. Have had it on the wall for about 6 months. Friends that come over are in awe as to the picture on the T.V. and so are we! One of the neighbors, when he comes over simply can't take his eyes of the T. V. Just don't forget you must have HD and adjust the T,V, per the various suggestions available on the net to get the greatest picture available. No secrets just follow the suggestions and enjoy !!

Toshiba does not want to tell the consumer about the contrast ratio of their TV. I searched on their official website and even called their customer service for this particular product. They told us that Toshiba does not release this information to the consumer.... I guess because they are not that good, so they rather not to tell.Buy another brand who dare to show their information for comparison purpose.

Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

The VT-25 series now can enable a "patch" to fix the limitations of the calibration controls...along with the latest firmware...this display is now the best available display in production...it's very close to the reference Pioneer 500M numbers...the next model year from Panasonic will include some Pioneer tech that will put it even or surpass Pioneer numbers of the past

Poor to OK range. Voice articulation is best with the "surround" mode turned off. The picture is excellent when set to the Custom Picture Mode and associated controls adjusted to satisfy your taste. Warm2 yields the most accurate color with the advaced controls set to their defaults.

I actually picked this up from CNET and it seems to work. First, use your TV's "warm" color temperature setting for the input that you want to adjust. Next, start with the "standard" picture settings and adjust the following items to these listed numbers: Contrast - 78; Back Light - 75; Dynalight - ON;Brightness - 37; Color - 46; Tint - 0; Sharpness - 48. These numbers work well, and had been adjusted by the original writer to go with HD-DVD Digital Video Essentials. This, to me, would be an excellent way to start, as the colors are rich and work well in both decently lit (not total daylight) and darkened rooms. Good luck.

Keeping in mind your ambient room lighting,...I had copied this set of information below from an online site while I was doing my searching as well...apologies for not doing a copy of the web site as well as this hard work came from them, I hope it helps: "The following settings were arrived at through a process of manual adjustment and further adjusted for preference. As indicated in our How we test televisions article, processing such as noise reduction and dynamic contrast are disabled for picture and testing purposes. They may or may not be re-engaged based on subjective preferences gained from observation during real-world performance scenarios. Though we arrived at these settings with a specific TV size, these settings can be used for any of the sizes in this TV series with consistent results.
