Besides another HDMI cable is there anything else I need to purchase to set tv up? read about people using calibration videos for best pic balance

The HDMI cable is all that you need. I have never used calibration videos or devices. Once the TV is broken in, it's a subjective matter as to what kind of image you prefer.

All I have is a HDMI cable coming from a cable box and WiFi connectivity for the internet.

Without more on your exact set up its hard to give a good answer. You will need to have a connecting cable if the correct type for each external component you connect to your tv. HDMI is the preferred connection as it conveys audio and video in a single cable. Use hdmi cables supporting at least hdmi 1.3 protocol to support the functions of this tv.

I also bought an IR extender so that I could put the Cable box behind the wall.I used a Simplicity wall mount

The onboard speakers are enough to tell you there's sound. So hopefully you have a receiver and speakers, DVD player, etc. You'll need a big place to put it -wall mount? I have this one which it strong and cheap: Cheetah Mounts APDAM2B Articulating Dual Arm TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32 to 65-Inch LCD, LED, Plasma, Flat Screen Monitors Bundle with Twisted Veins 10-Feet HDMI Cable and 6-Inch Level

No. I bought the Disney calibration DVD but I didn't even use it. Try the settings that I posted (the day settings are the ones I use all the time) and I think you'll be more than happy.

The default settings on this TV were nearly spot on. However, people get their TVs professionally calibrated for a reason. I for one, would rather use Cnet's or someone's post calibration settings then adjust for my lighting. Get a new HDMI standard cable. You won't regret this TV purchase! Enjoy..

You don't need a HDTV or HDMI TV even though it works on these TVs as well. Make sure that your TV has audio and video (1 yellow for video and 1 white for left audio and 1 red for right audio) composite AV inputs. Just align the colored cables with these 3 jacks. It's very simple.I also have an HDTV in which you have to plug in the HDMI cable to the HDMI port. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00979QONC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418877255&sr;=8-2π=AC_SY200_QL40Both of these devices work perfectly.

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?

Go to "Best Buy" and purchase an HDMI cable to connect to your TV. Also purchase a coupler to join the cable as they come in various lengths. Quiz the sales people. I have used this for several months and it works great...the other end will go in to the largest of the two ports behind the flip cover marked HDMI on your camera. This should work great. Connect the other end into the HDMI port on your TV. and turn on your camera.

The user guide states to use the HDMI cable that comes with the TV for this port or to use a Hi speed 1080P cable. Not sure why this port is an exception.

any cheap HDMI cable offered from Amazon will do. I bought this TV in early October (from Amazon) and also purchased 2 - $5 dollar cables (also from Amazon). You do NOT need the fancy HDMI cables that cost $100+.

You can also purchase HDMI cables at Monoprice.com..for around $5.00 and $6.00 for shipping..they are excellent..no middle man I was recommended by Audiophile/Videophile friends!

You are most welcome! It drives me nuts when they don't tell you exactly what you are getting. I ordered a TV last week, a couple of models included one HDMI cables as a bonus item, most did not. When I was able to confirm my TV did not come with an HDMI cable, I ordered the exact number needed for my various and sundry components. Everything came together--no extra trips needed, perfect!Glad to hear I'm not the only person who still uses the wrist strap... ;o) Again, good luck!

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

If the cable company equipment has component OUT, and your TV has component IN, then you will probably get the best picture doing that, unless you spend much more than this device costs. I have an older Flat screen that has 1 HDMI port and component IN. The HDMI port went out. I purchased this, and the picture was good, but had some noise (white spots here and there). Plus most services on my Apple TV gave me HDCP errors and I was not able to view them...which was frustrating because it has "HDCP" written on the case. I returned it and just stuck with component for now. It is not as great a pic as HDMI, but it is still very good.

What are you connecting the TV to? You'll need a HDMI cable for each one.My cable company included an HDMI cable with my box without additional charge. It works fine. I think it's 6' long. You might want to talk to your cable or satellite provider to see if they can give you one.If you have a DVD/Blue ray player that has an HDMI output then you'll need to get another cable for that. Check the back to make sure it has an HDMI jack first. Models over a year or so old may only have component inputs.A 6 foot cable should work fine. HDMI is so easy...one cable to connect to the TV and they only fit in one way. What are you connecting the TV to?

I know you can purchase signal boosters that are compatible with this brand of HDMI. From my experience i did not need one, the image did not lose clarity or seem to have color issue. I ran from cable source to a prejector with no issue. Hope this helps, good luck.

My other TV is upstairs in bedroom..no cable there, only downstairs with main 55" HSTV...How would I be able to get cable upstairs with this item, if at all. I also see that this does not mention Win 7 OS among the others that do, and why are OS necessary. I am confused. ..thanks

You should buy HMDI cable on any electronic store and your TV have to have HMDI connection already, that only connection you need, good luck

Yes out need an HDMI cable also. When I first hooked it up I thought it didn't work but it did you just have to move the HDMI cable around in the tv until you see a picture. You may even have to pull out the cable a little but don't give up it will work

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?
