Does this TV only have preset audio and picture settings, or can you also self-adjust the settings? Thank you!

Juliee, there are MANY picture and audio factors that you can adjust to achieve your own most personally satisfying viewing experience--I'd estimate a total of well over two dozen (without going into the menu to actually count). I was fully satisfied with the range of options. --Winston

Many adjustments are available. I adjusted for a week or more and gave up. One review showed the numbers she liked on each setting. I made these changes and now am pleased with it. I was very unhappy till I made the changes. A reset button is available so it can be set back to factory setting.

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

Sorry I can't help you. This TV barely lasted a year before the sound went out and we pitched it. I wouldn't recommend this TV to anyone!!!

I do not know? Right out of the box it was perfect for me. I've never had to change the settings. I've owned it for over a year now.

Check your TV to see if there is a setting for controlling the audio out. On mine it is under the Audio menu and is called Audio Out. Setting it to Variable does what you want.

I was just going to post the same question, so I'm assuming it doesn't have presets at all. I'm guessing the previous person who said that's probably for a different model system was correct. That's the only button on my remote that does nothing so I know it's not a bad remote. Oh well, still a great system you just have to learn how to adjust bass and treble depending on what you're watching/listening to.

In the earlier reviews, someone recommended this reviewer's post on best settings. I followed these and found them to be better than the built-in selections. Short of hiring a pro, try this first. http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-la7400-picture-settings.html

Some ppl may not be aware that the Display settings on the computer sometimes have to be checked. By default, the initial setup worked for me. I only had to adjust for the sound to come from the LCD. For some unknown reason I had to reset the Displat settings after a while. The sound was coming from the LCD but the picture wasn't. After resetting them, it continued to function flawlessly. Hope this helps.

The best thing to do is to Buy one of those hd tuning dvds. I did that and it looked better than when i screwed with the settings. My tv looks great and I no longer mess with the settings.

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

Here are some settings I found that might help you out: Main Picture Menu: - Picture Mode: Movie (set this before any of the rest!!) - Backlight: 10-20 (based on preference and ambient light in room, you can change this at the end to your liking) - Contrast: 100 - Brightness: 52 - Sharpness: 60 - Color: 51 - Tint: G50/R50 (center) - Picture Size: Screen Fit (otherwise you could very well lose some pixels) Advanced Settings: - Dynamic Contrast: Off - Black Tone: off - Flesh Tone: -5 - RGB Only Mode: Off - Color Space: Custom --- Red: 61, 0, 0 --- Green: 0, 50, 0 --- Blue: 0, 8, 54 --- Yelow: 89, 77, 0 --- Cyan: 0, 50, 50 --- Magenta: 53, 0, 50 - White Balanace: --- R-Offset: 23 --- G-Offset: 18 --- B-Offset: 22 --- R-Gain: 22 --- G-Gain: 31 --- B-Gain: 26 - Gamma: +1 - 10p White Balance: Off (trust me, not worth it!! Unless you have a professional calibration tool) Picture options: - Color Tone: Warm2 - Digital Clean View: Auto - MPEG Noice Filter: Off (removes details from many scenes) - HDMI Black Level: Low - Auto Motion Plus: Standard - Cinema Black: Medium

Unfortunately we do not have any calibration settings that we suggest for these TV's. Our suggestion would be to research either (CNET or AVS Forums) to find out what people are saying is the best calibration

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Not sure. Didn't care. Never seen a TV below 32" that had speakers worth a crap and anything above that size they are only half worth a crap. I'll say that you can certainly hear it and it has 3 sound modes. Custom movie and standard. I use custom. It has a headphone out jack and when I am really watching something I plug in some cheap computer speakers and it sounds fantastic and the volume controls with the remote. Can't ask for much more. But I don't think you will really hear it well in a noisy environment. Just opt for external speakers or sound bar plugged into the headphone stereo out jack. Not sure. Didn't care.

Hello Marie,I'm sorry but I don't know.....I've been very satisfied with the sound coming from the TV itself. I wouldn't be surprised if you could, though, because the TV is a quite technologically advanced smart TV with excellent and realistic color. Is there someone, possibly at someplace like Best Buy, who could answer your question?

The TV works great playing with its own speakers however ifv you have a new theatre system you can also use the internet nerflix etc and you have the surround sound speakers. It is very easy to go back and forth between theater system verses tv. I Don use the voice commands and gestures anyway they are a pain as they contnually pop up and intrrfer with viewing.

I'm not sure if I can post links on Amazon forums, but here is an in-depth review with some suggested settings from the Ultimateavmag.com site. http://www.ultimateavmag.com/rearprojectiontvs/807sam5687/index5.htmlBe sure to also check out the CNET reviews and rating.Hope to see my Samsung arrive by the end of the week.
