That is a pretty subjective question, but here are the video settings my TV has right now on the Calibrated setting: Backlight - 99, Brightness - 60, Contrast - 70, Color - 50, Tint - 0 (that's the middlemost value), and Sharpness - 60.

I wouldn't do it. Go to cnet.com and they have the best recommended settings. BTW, I purchased this TV @ P.C. Richards for 599 in november. I'd check there if it isn't too late

I got settings from tweak tv and c-net forums. The settings from c-net are more accurate for watching HD programming, you should use those.

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 just use calibration DVD's. This way you can calibrate any TV you wish at any time. And it's $110 cheaper :) The biggies are Digital Video Essentials and Avia (Avia II is the latest - it's here on Amazon). I've used both - I buy Avia now because it includes plastic filters, which you need to use to adjust tint. Now, this TV does have a 'Blue only' mode, so you don't need the filters for this TV, but you do for most TVs. Anywho, they really walk you through video and audio calibration, you don't need to be an expert at all, and it gets the same results as Best Buy. Better, actually, because calibrating in a store under fluorescent lights won't get you as good results as calibrating in your home.

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.

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

It all really depends on your own room. I tried several different calibrations that I found on the web and none of them are acceptable to me. I've found that I have to tweak each movie or show that I'm watching individually, but eventually I get to a good picture after practice. The HD channels are much better then the SD channels. I also found that the scrolling bar helps to cleanthe colors. It seemed a little brighter after using the grey scroll bar. I am still getting used to the lack of brightness versus an LCD, but the true colors are worth it.

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.

Hi Randy Ihara,Please connect this receiver to your TV and perform the Auto Calibration. Select [Settings] - [Speaker Settings] from the home menu and select [Auto Calibration]. Follow the instructions on the TV screen. Thanks. >Joffrey

Calibrate it with a 7.0 calibration solution. I also recommend storing it in their storage solution. Be sure to read the manual or you may make incorrect assumptions about certain things.

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
