After setting up yesterday, the picture was not nearly as sharp as expected. Even used John Wang's specs from the reviews here. Any suggestions?

Buy the Spears & Munsil or the Disney WOW blu-ray. If you have a Disney DVD or Blu ray most of them have their won video calibration setup on it.

I Found a good calibration map from Reviewed.com at http://a3.images.reviewed.com/image/fetch/c_limit,f_auto,g_center,h_1200,w_1200/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/88afc7d456d4423e/Sharp-LC60SQ15U-Calibration.jpg

I use the setting he provided and that was about all I could figure out. An improvement, but not a big one.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

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. I hope that you enjoy yours.M

Be sure to follow Chompy's advice, turn the sharpness level to *zero*. That helps a lot. At first I was so disappointed with the performance of this tv for xbox one. After I turned the sharpness level to 0 everything changed. It's not blur anymore and the quality of the picture is amazing!

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

I tested this model, a mid-range Samsung 60" LED, and a Visio 60" LED. I can't recall particular slowness in changing channels. The overriding issue is that these simply are not clear and crisp. You can view them in Best Buy Magnolia rooms or other hi-fi stores. It is a foundational issue. My sis went with a plasma (LG i think) too and returned it. From the reviews and ratings I thought this would be wonderful. It wasn't.

I sent this unit back as a soon as I received it. Never got it to work properly. No help from customer service either. Ended up with the summer dual view something or the other from Target. Cheaper and much better image quality. Good luck, wish I could help!

Hi Jasmany, If you click on my name, I believe you should be able to look up my reviews. The review I posted of this TV has listed what seem to be the best overall settings for viewing. There are quite a few different settings to get it good, but it's worth the effort. If you like what it looks like after setting it up, please be sure to click that little "yes" button on my review so others can find the review easier. Any other questions, just ask! Enjoy the TV! I love mine!!

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.

Thanks for the reply. Eagle came and picked it up today. I am going LCD this time...Amazon really came through with the return.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

I got mine from Fry's. It is the newer model with 128mb. There was some lagging in speed because the images were too high of a resolution. The quick fix is to use the WindowsXP powertool call ImageRiser. Free to download. Shrunk my 5.0mp images from about 1.7mb in size down to about 30k (at the 800x600 setting). Images now slideshow much faster and with a left over 512mb SD I had laying around, I could easily put thousands of images on it. Could not get the videos to work though, would be nice but no biggie. On the images where the pictures are bright and sunny, it looks great, but darking indoor images, the contrast is not so great. From 6 feet away, it is very watchable, up close at 2 to 3 feet, you can see the pixels.

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 just took delivery on one from Amazon, a BRV46 and in any picture mode it looks like I am watching throw a window screen. I am not sure if this is the vaunted "mura" or "clouding issue". But I am not happy.My house is a little cold today, which could be a factor. But I must just return it and swap in a Panasonic plasma for about 1/3 the price.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

I doub it, like I said my review the quality is not that good with my Sony 42 Led. Netflix and Hulu plus app did not worked. Try the Archos tv connect $129 with a nice controler. My solution was a Sony BluRay buil in wifi perfect picture.
