In the earlier reviews, someone recommended this reviewer's post on best settings. I followed these and found them to be better than the built-in selections. Short of hiring a pro, try this first. http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lg-lcd-tv/lg-la7400-picture-settings.html

Go to the camera menu and then to settings. Maybe the brightness and contrast are too high. If not is not fixing it I would call Swann tech support at 1800 627-2799. they are open 24/7. If they can not fix it they will replace it if is still within warranty. Good luck

I calibrated mine using a iOne calibration tool, granted it wasn't off by much but i needed to calibrate based on a different gamma value than the 2.2

As far as I understand, you are unable to successfully calibrate these TVs as hidden menus accessible to professional calibrators aren't readily available to the general public.

Did you ever resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem. I can't get a quality picture something standing perfectly still - like my christmas tree! My ISO is set to 100.

Jordan: Thanks for taking the time to reply: I must admit I knew NONE of the things U mentioned. I think I may try to find a calibration disk, or wud setting up my TV via the THX method set it for all input sources?

This information can be found at kimkommando.com. Calibrate your HDTV for a better picture(Page 2 of 3) Fortunately, you don't need to pay a professional to get better picture quality. With a little help, you can calibrate your HDTV yourself. Use a calibration DVD A calibration DVD is an inexpensive way to calibrate your set. These DVDs display test patterns to help you adjust your settings. Of course, you're relying on your eyesight. So, it is somewhat subjective. You can pick up a calibration DVD for about $30. Or, rent one from your local video store. However, you may already have a DVD that includes calibration tools. THX-certified DVDs released from 2000 contain the THX Optimizer. You may need to poke around the DVD menus to find the Optimizer. THX-certified DVDs include popular titles like Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo. Check other DVDs produced by LucasArts or Pixar. To get the most from the Optimizer, you need blue filter glasses. These will help you adjust the hue and color. You can buy a pair from THX for $2. The THX Optimizer will also help you set up your sound system correctly. DVD calibration tools aren't as effective as hiring a professional. But you can improve on your HDTV's default settings.

No, I did not calibrate the colour settings. I'd say the picture quality was just great - out of the box. I know other models or brands need to be calibrated, but in this case, I don't know how the picture could be any better.

I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from. I am not a Pro, I just know what I like. I simply looked at all the preset calibrations in the menu, tweaking each one with the settings available in the menu. After a few days, I narrowed down to "Vivid and/or THX Bright room" selections. After a couple more days of tweaking, I have settled on the THX Bright room calibration. I still go to the vivid now and then. I also developed a nice custom picture setting that I watch sparingly for some unknown reason. All in all, you have to play around until you find what best suits your eyes. Or shell out the bucks for a professional calibration. Good luck, have fun. I don't know what the "best" calibration may be, but with this TV you have a wide gamete to choose from.

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

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.

Go to avsforum.com and search for this model. There is a post in the hundreds of posts with a list of everyones settings. Cinema seems best, but offhand I'm not sure of the other settings (picture, sharpness, etc.)

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better
