Try going to cnet and using their settings. I used them on the 26 inch version of this model and it looks terrific.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

I am in your same boat...trying to choose between a samsung pn58b650 vs. panasonic tc-54v10. Panasonic is 58" and now several hundred cheaper (with coupon code). I keep going back and forth...any help out there? Is panasonic better than samsung...as is generally stated? thanx in advance for any feedback.

Sadly, after watching an "Aliens" DVD on this new BDP-350 I think the upconversion is inferior to my now disconnected Toshiba A-3. My plasma is a 2005 Panasonic 480p EDTV, the best ever made before the resolution was phased out, and the difference is obvious and painful. Resolution is set to "auto" which seems to be the same as 480p.Maybe I've missed something. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thank you.

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

Grain/noise is native to plasmas, Panasonics especially it seems. I changed my tv and blu ray player setting to 24p for watching blu rays and like the improved picture. Give it a try and see how you like it.

A great source of info for the Panasonic TH-58PZ800U is AVS forum (www.avsforum.com). It costs nothing to join and there is a discussion/forum dedicated souly to this TV. The settings mentioned in the review here on Amazon came from that forum. There has since been other recommended or alternative settings along with some other good info.Dave

I am having the same exact issue. Quality settings and Class 4 memory cards seem to have very little effect on the poor picture quality. Very disappointing after the mostly stellar reviews I've been reading online.

I think that's the one biggest flaw with this Sony model. If it senses a 720 or 1080 signal, it won't allow you to select Normal setting. A 4:3 image gets blown up and distorted by either "full" or "zoom" settings. I solved it with DVDs by changing the setting at the level of the Sony player. But I haven't hooked up to a hdtv digital box yet, so I'm not sure how I'll deal with it then. You could use your DVD player as a tuner, possibly, but I hope there's a better solution than that or the TV gets sent back.

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

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 think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

I just took delivery on one from Amazon, a BRV46 and in any picture mode it looks like I am watching throw a window screen. I am not sure if this is the vaunted "mura" or "clouding issue". But I am not happy.My house is a little cold today, which could be a factor. But I must just return it and swap in a Panasonic plasma for about 1/3 the price.

pretty good - set it to 640x480 and 'high quality' in &lt;monitor settings&gt; for best quality

picture quality would be better if you buy 1080p / motion clarity 240hz or morewhen you buy it you need to call Toshiba for software update
