Picture begins to darken after about 3 minutes of watching in Standard Mode but is fine in all the others?

Could be TV is in "ECO" Mode. Also, Energy Savings might be on. This setting adjusts brightness levels automatically. Settings are independent for each mode...Standard, Dynamic, Natural, Movie. Try turning off ECO and turning off Energy Savings. Go to Menu, then System, then Eco Solution, turn off Energy Savings and Eco Sensor.Try these settings:In Menu....Picture...Backlight 20, Contrast 100, Brightness 45, Sharp 45.Hope this helps. If not, I would call for service.Robert

Check the Eco Settings under Menu|System|Eco Solution. You can set it to Energy Saver Off, Eco Sensor Off or do as I did and set it to Energy Saver Low, Eco Sensor On and set the Min backlight to at least 3.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

I'm using dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu 12.04. Video is working fine except the initial brightness. Just follow this simple help to fix the initial brightness problem and enjoy :-)

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

Never had a problem with brightness. Make sure you check your settings, some will make the picture dimmer. Also make sure the mirror inside the set is clean.

I believe what you are referring to is local dimming. Parts on the screen that have content are lit up and parts without content are dimmed down or even turned off. I've noticed that when turning on the TV the bottom left corner is brighter than others which may appear like bleeding but I'm guessing it's related to local dimming. I wouldn't worry about it. I watched dark movie scenes and I don't notice it, the picture is perfect.

why do the pictures come out so bright. is there a setting that has to done

No I have not seen that issue even up close. I have although done some messing around with the picture settings and by no means am I an expert. I would try some different settings or return it for a new one because of the price we have all had to pay for it. It could have even been damaged during shipping or not have set long enough before it was turned on the first time. I have the exact tv and the blacks are deep blacks and the whites are true as well as grey and all other colors. I let mine sit for eight hours after it was mounted on the tv stand before I turned it on for the first time.

Q: When playing back a video shot at 600fps or 240fps on my TV or Computer it appears wavy and faded out. What am I doing wrong?

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

Greg, I am also watching the Olympics on Comcast HD and not experiencing a lot of the pixelation you mention, mostly during the fastest figure skating spins, and camera moves on other sports. In fact, I am blown away with the picture on this event. I have not changed my 120-Hz (whatever its called) setting from the factory preset, and it would be the only thing I suggest looking at. I also have the picture set on "Movie" mode, the others presets are just too saturated, bubble-gum colors... though I doubt that makes a difference. Hope you can resolve this.

Only time I've seen black and white pictures on mine is when gets dark I think it's in night mode or low light mode

the user manual that comes with the tv does mention the problem with watching for long periods with the black bars on top or sides could have the burn-in. it also mentions the tv logos that are on most channels down in the corner of the picture could also pose a problem if watched for long periods.

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 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 have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.
