I have the 55 inch- make sure your using HDMI AND NOT COMPOSITE JACKS- that will make a big difference-also the vibrant setting may look good on some channels but your better off with Natural- I use "Personal"and set brightness to 50 , contrast 95 and sharpness 60, color 47 , backlight 85, tint 1 and color temp 0 also SABC on, but again this is all your personal taste- as for me , these setting give a beautiful picture

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

Oh I'm sorry, I wish I could help you. Only had that single Sansui and only for a short time. Don't know much about them. I upgraded to a Vizio a few months later after I wrote that, and then gave both TV's away and now I have a 50" panny Plasma sitting where the little Sansui once was. I still think the Sansui was a pretty nice little TV though, but no way it could compete with the Vizio and not even in the plasma's universe.

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

I'm pretty sure this is 1080p. When I checked Vizio's website it says that its 1080p. Here's the link:http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/vm230xvt.html

Hi...Sorry, the site can be kind of hard to negotiate.On the left hand side of the screen is the "Navigation Menu"Choose "Display Devices"Then choose "Rear Projection Units"About the 7th unit down is the forum for "2007 Samsung LED Owners Thread"Settle in with a BIG cup of coffee. You've got about 5 hours of reading ahead of you. Don't get too scared re all the threads regarding the "blue halo" problem. It appears that this was corrected with the HLTxx87SAX version, (versus the HLTxx87s)

Wow, that's expensive! If I were you, I'd just poke around on AVS Forums (www.avsforum.com) and find the "optimal" settings on there. There's usually a forum thread for each model and someone with experience calibrating tv's will post their settings. Granted, they won't be perfectly suited for your exact setup or viewing environment, but they should get you 98% of the way there.

I too have a VIZIO 55 LED and was disappointed with the tonal qualities. I had an old subwoofer from a previous Sony TV which I hooked into the audio outputs. Set audio output to variable and it adds just enough bass to make it sound good.
