Best settings for TV?
759065
I am using Over-the-Air antenna to receive TV signals. Put the setting on Plug&Play;, let the program detects the TV signals automatically, and i found I can receive about 15 broadcast stations. The drawbacks are signals effective by the weather conditions, sometimes I saw "the signal is too weak or broadcast is temporary unavailable". But most of the time was working very good. If you subscribe Cable service, I presumed this TV works pretty good. And price is very affordable.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I use my tv for mostly netflix, movies and Internet.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I have cable so I haven't messed with any settings.

HD is so good that it is going to magnify low resolution and you are going to see the defects. The best way to minimize this is to not stretch programs that are in the 4:3 ratio. Go to HOME, SETTINGS, SCREEN SIZE and then set 4.3 default to "Normal". If you set it to anything else, it is going to stretch the screen and make things worse. Also make sure your cable box is set correctly because you can change how it outputs from the cable box. The third thing you need to watch is to use the correct mode with the correct program. For example, the vivid mode can cause eye strain. Reserve this mode for the simpsons and other similiar animated programs. Use standard for standard programs. Use cinema or customize the setting for sports. If you picture is too sharp for sports, you are going to see a fuzzy screen. If you reduce the sharpness and the brightness, the picture will look smooth and give you a better sense of motion. Also, even though it has nothing to do with the picture, be sure the crank the voice boost feature and the sound is incredible when you do this. Hope this helps.

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

For the best sound, hook it up through the headphone jack of your Tv. if it has one. If not, hook it up through the sound in and out jacks.

Go to avsforum.com and search for this model. There is a post in the hundreds of posts with a list of everyones settings. Cinema seems best, but offhand I'm not sure of the other settings (picture, sharpness, etc.)

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've thoroughly enjoyed my TV for sports (if only my sports team had been as enjoyable). Action sports, specifically football and some basketball look great. I actually disable the motion smoothing effect and think that the image has been outstanding. I agree with other responders in that you need to do some tweaking of the default setting but there are a few out there you can find via a web search to get you started.

I think the sample I have outputs 16:9 on a one year old TV. There maybe a way to adjust this. For now I can only find a switch for number of pixels. I hope this helps.

you can try the settings from http://www.hometheater.com/content/samsung-un46d6000-led-lcd-hdtv-settings or http://forums.cnet.com/7723-19410_102-522941.html?tag=mncol;5f

Keeping in mind your ambient room lighting,...I had copied this set of information below from an online site while I was doing my searching as well...apologies for not doing a copy of the web site as well as this hard work came from them, I hope it helps: "The following settings were arrived at through a process of manual adjustment and further adjusted for preference. As indicated in our How we test televisions article, processing such as noise reduction and dynamic contrast are disabled for picture and testing purposes. They may or may not be re-engaged based on subjective preferences gained from observation during real-world performance scenarios. Though we arrived at these settings with a specific TV size, these settings can be used for any of the sizes in this TV series with consistent results. Preferred Settings Backlight: 75 Contrast: 69 Brightness: 49 Sharpness: 8 Color: 55 Tint: -2 Color Temperature - Normal Advanced Settings Noise Reduction - Low MPEG NR - Low Color Enhancement - Off Adaptive Luma - Off Film Mode - Off Smart Dimming - Off Ambient Light Sensor - Off "

Does anyone have color settings for the TV, I have looked everywhere but can't really find settings. Please help?

I used this review from cnet to help me: put the TV into movie mode, turn the backlight down to 8-10, contrast down to 85-90, and motion plus to 'clear'. Play around from there and you'll find your sweet spot. From Samsung's How-To's: Picture settings provide you with one-touch selection of brightness, contrast, and color temperature levels suited to different viewing conditions, such as Movie mode for nighttime viewing when room lighting levels are low, and Standard, and Dynamic for daytime viewing when the room is filled with a mix of artificial and natural light.

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

I actually picked this up from CNET and it seems to work. First, use your TV's "warm" color temperature setting for the input that you want to adjust. Next, start with the "standard" picture settings and adjust the following items to these listed numbers: Contrast - 78; Back Light - 75; Dynalight - ON; Brightness - 37; Color - 46; Tint - 0; Sharpness - 48. These numbers work well, and had been adjusted by the original writer to go with HD-DVD Digital Video Essentials. This, to me, would be an excellent way to start, as the colors are rich and work well in both decently lit (not total daylight) and darkened rooms. Good luck.

This TV has different "Scene" settings which it selects based on the input type. You can also change them by the remote control. I find all of them to look dark and have a color cast except for the "standard" one.
