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

Hello there....sorry to hear that you are having issues. I bought mine for my son. He told me that he is using the factory settings, default, and the picture looks great. try using the default settings, if that does not work you may want to return it. Hope this helps....good luck.

Check this forum for your favorite setting. I used post 274's setting and it looked great~ Don't use the setting right out of the box, it's horrible and way too bright. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=901174

In the future, just type in your television series number and the words "calibration settings" and you'll find the answer without having to wait for someone to supply it. These are CNET's recommended settings for all of the 7000 series sets... --Picture menu Mode: Movie Backlight: 3 Contrast: 89 Brightness: 45 Sharpness: 0 Color: 49 Tint: G50/R50 Advanced settings submenu Black tone: Off Dynamic contrast: Off Gamma: +3 Color space: Auto Flesh tone: 0 Edge enhancement: Off xvYCC: Off White balance submenu R-Offset: 24 G-Offset: 23 B-Offset: 26 R-Gain: 28 G-Gain: 28 B-Gain: 21 Picture options submenu Color tone: Warm2 Size: Screen Fit Digital NR: Off HDMI black level: Normal [grayed out] Film mode: Off [grayed out] Blue only mode: Off Auto motion plus 120Hz: Custom Custom settings: Blur reduction: 10 Judder reduction: 0 --Setup menu Game Mode: Off Energy saving: Off BD Wise: Off

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.

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!

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

This is the hardest TV I have ever had problems with settings. Lot of this is preference but this this is what I have with dishnetwork 2D (tv service will make a difference). Picture Mode standard user, Blacklight 100, Contrast 80, Brightness 30, Sharpness 15, Color 50, Tint G21, Color Temp C50, Advance Control- Dyanamic Contrast high, Dyanamic color High, Super Resolution Medium, Gamma Low. I have not messed with 3D which is different. at least this will give you a start. Hope it helps.

I just use the standard settings. If youj are gaming, you can adjust brightness on the PC or console to meet your needs. Otherwise use the game mode setting.

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

After a lot of trial and error and Google searching the following are my preferences for settings:Picture Mode: Expert1Contrast (Picture): 90Brightness: 55Color: 45Tint: G5Sharpness: H = 10, V = 10Color Temperature: Warm2Backlight: 85Aspect Ratio: Just ScanMisc: Color Gamut=standard; Gamma = 2.4; Black Level=low; Real Cinema=On; LED Local Dimming = Low; All remaining settings set to Off or 0. Finally, I forget exactly what the option is called, but whatever the option is for smooth motion, set it to "off". If it is set to "on" then you can never get the voice and picture to sync correctly when playing a DVD.

Yes, I have my 65 inch Aquos set to a picture that is pleasing to me. After initial setup, I was running the contrast way to high. Now I have lowered the level and also made adjustments to a few other settings. They are as follows: contrast 55, brightness 50, color 35, tint 0, sharpness 10, color temp: custom, green offset 114, enhanced color normal and active contrast medium. I am running the backlight at 100%. I have motion enhancement off and power saving off. Hope this information helps you.

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are: Contrast: 95 Brightness: 32 Color: 64 Sharpness: 90 Energy Saver: Level 1
