I am buying the lg 47lm8600. What are the best calibration settings for movies and sports?

I have the 55LM6800 and I used the auto-settings feature which allows you to choose between selections for color, hue, sharpness, et cetera. I got much better results using that feature than by setting everything manually and the picture is pretty spectacular IMO. Hope that helps.

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

I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

Not sure if anyone has posted their settings yet, but you'll have better luck asking your question at the AVS forum. There is a 5-page (so far) thread on this TV... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1211005

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.

Hi Mike, Good question, I'll give you my "best guess" answer. I have had this great TV since April and searched the web for the same information. First, its not bad right out of the box. Second, seems the recommended settings vary for 2D and 3D, ambient light conditions and to some degree the signal source each of which can ALSO have a range of settings. I have left the settings on the signal source devices at default levels and made the suggested adjustments on the TV. I have the Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark Blu-ray DVD but have not used it with this TV, as yet. I have used the settings found at http://www.soundandvision.com/content/samsung-un75es9000-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and just tweaked them a little bit for personal taste. Good place to start. Please advise if you find another source for useful settings. It's a great 2D TV and paired with a good 3D player, it does a good job of 3D as well, especially with little ambient light. Professional calibration is always an option as well. Best Regards, Marc

Also purchased a Used-Like New set from amazon warehouse which said it had "minor cosmetic damage to housing" What damage??? I inspected the TV and the only "cosmetic issues" I found was dust! It was definately worth the purchase from amazon warehouse considering the $300 savings. Haven't posted a review, but if you would like calibration settings for your LN46a650, I definately recommend going to the AVS Forums @ avsforums.com. They have a whole thread there where people post their different calibration settings!

Have you used a calibration disk of any kind? I recommend the "WoW" from Walt Disney. It improved my picture even though it wasn't off much.

If you look at the first review (from G. Lavery) for the TV on Amazon, a user posts cnet's suggested settings as well as their own preferred settings. I just ordered the TV and have been looking into the same thing. Good Luck!! http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Viera-TH-58PZ800U-58-Inch-Plasma/dp/B001DSYNB0/ref=pd_cp_etk_ce_av__0?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001EBEPXW&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1FAQ4JWD2M00FX3N57W0

per consumer reports OPTIMIZED PICTURE SETTINGS. Our expert TV testers recommend the following settings for the LG 55LA7400 to get your image looking like the rated picture quality we saw in our lab. Accessing the picture controls is simple; press the menu button on your remote and navigate to the picture settings menu where you'll see most of the controls. To find some other controls you may additionally have to enter the "advanced settings" or the "picture options" sub menus (name may vary depending on model). Don't worry about making any "mistakes," you can always reset the picture settings to factory default if necessary. Consult your user manual for additional guidance. PICTURE SETTINGS. Picture Mode: Expert1 Contrast (Picture): 90 Brightness: 52 Color: 60 Tint: R8 Sharpness: H = 0, V = 0 Color Temperature: Warm2 Backlight: 75 Aspect Ratio: Just Scan Miscellaneous: Color gamut = Standard, Gamma = 2.2, Black Level = Low, Real Cinema = On, LED Local Dimming = Low, TruMotion = User (De-judder = 0, De-blur = 10) (All remaining settings set to OFF, or 0)

Dear Ed,Thanks a lot, that solved my original question. After compare them through LG websiteand found 3 different points:1. What is the defference between 1920x1080 and 1920x1080P? Any hugh difference that you cansee through normal human eyes? They all 1080P right?2. One AV in shortage make no differnece to me.3. Power source difference OK for me as I lives in USA region.feels Like 42LV5400 is current best value plus Magic Motion Remote,

Out of the box, the TV settings are "vivid". At the very least you'll want to set it to "standard" under picture settings/picture mode. This wont fix the black problem by itself, but then under advanced settings there are a couple of adjustments that will, namely "gamma" and "black corrector". Play with these a bit and you'll get better black detail. If you'd like a full listing of user calibration settings for viewing in a darkened room, here is a link that will give you those presets. Try them, and if you like it, you're done! Otherwise, play around a bit with the settings I mentioned to achieve the desired results. Here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10060430-1.html?tag=mncol;txt I hope you find this helpful, I'm using these settings myself and am pretty happy with the results. Be warned, however, once you reveal black detail, you may notice unevenness in the black uniformity of the screen. Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply!I made my purchase a month ago and I decided to go with the Sharp LC42-D85U which is 120hz.24p is just for blu ray but I wanted the smooth action that it offers. I only really noticed it on my old set with Star Wars. There was one scene with a black background and alot of action and it was noticably choppy. I have yet to play the same movie and compare.
