On your remote use the picture button. There are several choices, standard, calibrated, vivid, dark, etc and you have the ability to change every single setting to your liking....this is an awesome television!

Set your TV to use the 'Cinema' defaults. The TV has near flawless color and color saturation using this setting.

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

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.

Sorry but I can't help you. I returned the TV because the picture quality was not acceptable. I replaced it with the 7000 series and I am very happy.

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.

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.

You can change options on the Honestech TVR panel. Please click on the TV button. Maybe you have to click on the properties button to do some settings. I hope this helps

It's not your configuration. The tv quality is just my great. I have regretted this tv purchase wet since I bought it. I should have went with the samsung. If you do figure out something that improves it, please let me know because I had tried everything.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I have cable so I haven't messed with any settings.

It's an HD TV, but not the best resolution. My guess is the the salesperson was probably refering to the display resolution of this model - 1024 x 768. They are probably trying to sell you a more expensive set with better specs.

Make sure the TV is not in "Store mode" because it always resets the settings so that they will look good in the store. I would also recommend returning your Samsung for a Sony Xbr4. I went through 2 defective Samsungs before I finally woke up and got the Sony. It is far superior to the LNTxx71.

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.

I had to send that TV back. It was broken. However, I bought the Samsung 40" version, 120 hrtz. The picture is good at 45 degrees.

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.

There isnt one perfect setting. The lighting of the room it in and personal preference come into play. Some like a bright screen some it a bit darker. Everybodies vision is different
