I have a plasma (Panasonic 37" 720p) and the pictures (taken by a Nikon d50, 6 megapixel) look very good, maybe a little to vivid, but that's the TV and I can adjust it. I think the WD does a fine job but you might need to tweak the TV a little.Marcel.

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.

I love it. I have never changed anything from the factory settings. I can, just never needed to. Great picture.

Did you tried to reset to factory settings first to have the base settings? From there set up the picture contrasts color and brightness.

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

This TV has different "Scene" settings which it selects based on the input type. You can also change them by the remote control. I find all of them to look dark and have a color cast except for the "standard" one.

a separate post suggested turning tru-motion off... I just ordered my tv - hopefully it looks good. no suggestions on sound though

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

This is the hardest TV I have ever had problems with settings. Lot of this is preference but this this is what I have with dishnetwork 2D (tv service will make a difference). Picture Mode standard user, Blacklight 100, Contrast 80, Brightness 30, Sharpness 15, Color 50, Tint G21, Color Temp C50, Advance Control- Dyanamic Contrast high, Dyanamic color High, Super Resolution Medium, Gamma Low. I have not messed with 3D which is different. at least this will give you a start. Hope it helps.

I have the 55 inch- make sure your using HDMI AND NOT COMPOSITE JACKS- that will make a big difference-also the vibrant setting may look good on some channels but your better off with Natural- I use "Personal"and set brightness to 50 , contrast 95 and sharpness 60, color 47 , backlight 85, tint 1 and color temp 0 also SABC on, but again this is all your personal taste- as for me , these setting give a beautiful picture

There are no doubt better TV's on the market, but for the price and size I wanted the HD picture more than suffices. The settings to need some adjustments to get the best picture possible. I would suggest you read some of the official reviews out there as some of the criticisms are valid. Still I am satisfied with my purchase.

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 have been tweaking my new set's picture for 3 days now. The high def is terrific but I only get 12 channels of HD. Since 50% of my viewing will be standard def cable channels, I am very disappointed that I can't get the SD picture to a level of acceptability. (I feel compelled to go to another room and watch non-HD programs on my old 36" CRT.) Any suggestions on setting changes for SD programs? A lot of the screen is blurry and pixelated (with or without the 120-Hz on).
