Man I love this TV! It’s fantastic, LED backlit, slim, sexy, super high contrast ratio and it just looks damn sexy! While it can kick out an absolutely amazing picture, the stock settings it has when you take it out of the box are nothing but below average. It is setup with super high contrast for in-store displays as well as other stock settings which just wash images out and make everything look unnatural.
Here are the settings I have found best for normal TV viewing. This should give you a good baseline to start from as you should tune your TV for the lighting in your room, picture source (remember you need to reconfigure it for any devices plugged in – PS3/Blue Ray/DVD, they all have their own individual profiles). If you can get your hands on a TV tuning DVD that is always a good start too (although I only use them to get to a baseline and then continue tweaking “too eye” from there).
