I just purchased this TV. Does anyone know where I can find the best calibration setting for this TV?

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

Google (or Yahoo) TV calibration, you will find lots of procedures, all are about the same and they work very well.

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!!Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ800U 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

Those settings are definitely for a dark room or movie viewing experience. Keep in mind these are baseline settings and will vary from set to set and also on the room your tv is located in. For best results maybe check out the DVE digital video essentials calibration disk which I think is 20 bucks or so here on amazon. Maybe not quite as good as a professional calibration but darn close especially for us normal viewers.

This is a great TV! I recommend getting a calibration disc to get your settings just right. I purchased the Disney World of Wonder DVD.

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!

Sorry but I can't help you. I returned the TV because the picture quality was not acceptable. I replaced it with the 7000 series and I am very happy.

You can actually calibrate yourself. There are many sites available on line that tell you how to do it such as this one http://www.plasmatelevisions.org/article/plasma-television-tips/how-to-calibrate-your-plasma-tv.html

That is a pretty subjective question, but here are the video settings my TV has right now on the Calibrated setting: Backlight - 99, Brightness - 60, Contrast - 70, Color - 50, Tint - 0 (that's the middlemost value), and Sharpness - 60.

Where would I look in the manual to find out. What steps do you do to change that setting on your tv, so I can see if my tv will do that. My tv is a fairly new Sharp Aquos.

Hi Jasmany, If you click on my name, I believe you should be able to look up my reviews. The review I posted of this TV has listed what seem to be the best overall settings for viewing. There are quite a few different settings to get it good, but it's worth the effort. If you like what it looks like after setting it up, please be sure to click that little "yes" button on my review so others can find the review easier. Any other questions, just ask! Enjoy the TV! I love mine!!

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!

I don't plan on having it professionally calibrated. But I did buy the Disney WOW calibrating disc from Amazon. According to AVS forum this is a good way to inexpensively calibrate a TV

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

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?

Coley- You made a good choice buying this TV. We love ours. As for making adjustments, sometimes you can make things worse, not better, by fiddling with the controls,unless you are really (like engineer) savvy. We did fool around a little, but then left it alone. I think Samsung should have an TV adjustment CD available for us to buy for their product. Someone said there is a general TV adjustment CD on the marked that you can buy, but I haven't found one yet. tv's are really complex these days.

I had to send that TV back. It was broken. However, I bought the Samsung 40" version, 120 hrtz. The picture is good at 45 degrees.
