Does anyone else think the colors are too orange on the 30"? Has anyone done anything to resolve?

I was able to tweak the colors to get them just right by adjusting the color on my Mac...Go to System properties -&gt;Display-&gt;color

Mine is the same. Not quite OD, very ugly color. I don't believe there are two colors. I think it's just poor picture quality. They do have another version in black without the 550 cord on the handle.

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

I have the same problem! This has really been bothering me, especially when it goes in and out. I am going to try to change the backlight and also notice if it has something to so with it only happening with bright shots.) Since it is under service warranty, I definitely plan to call the service repair number. Did any of you call for service? I will check the model of my 40" sony.

I found there to be a bit of a green tint when I first turn it on, but it resolves after it warms up a bit. Not a big deal to me. Perhaps my green is your blue with a bit of yellow thrown in??

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

I've just bought the 2557, also replacing a 1490, which I really liked. I feel like this 2557 has horrible contrast, and as you say, all colors look weak and faded. Did you have any success with follow up regarding yours? Nothing I see on my screen matches the bright colors on the Garmin website or product sales card from the store. May return it, as it's quite frustrating and... oddly, distracting.

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!

It looks really blue on my TV and on my computer monitor. I looked at this question's answers and assumed it was a defect. But after exchanging it for a new one, I still have the same problem! :/

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

I just purchased the 40a630 and brought it home. AWESOME!!! Though, like you, I don't see any "Touch of Color." Will probably call Samsung tomorrow and inquire on this.

Hi. I just bought one of these myself and have a 40 inch Samsung HD- LCD tv and I have noticed this same thing and it will look like this on some DVD's. I put the player on "Dynamic 2" setting under "adjusting the playback picture" found on page 33 of the manual and it makes the picture a little better. Try that out and I hope it helps! Jay

Its like a blood orange. Will likely go nicely with your LR arrangement. . My frame is warped and it sits on the wall funny. Inquire if such a thing happens to you if the company will do anything about. Because I gave it as a gift.. had it for like a month before I opened it.. did even ask

VERY IMPORTANT - Select the 'CINEMA' setting. In all the other settings, colors are off. But with the Cinema setting (I think that's what its called), colors are actually PERFECT! Amazing quality. At first I didn't know about this, but saw some discussion of it online. I am really very impressed with near photo-quality using this setting - but ONLY this setting has worked for me.

There never is much orange on the displays I see, but when it is displayed, it looks fine to me. As for colors in general, I calibrate the screen with a Spyder 3 before doing color photos and I'm happy with the display and the resulting color print.

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 dont care for this 30" Dell. I bot two of them and their colors are not natural. I havethe Dell next to 30" Apple Cinema Displays and the Apple monitors are much better. if i were to buy a monitor now, i would try Apple's 27" since Apple stopped making the 30"
