ohdaho Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 You just need to readjust your factory settings. Do a google search or go to avsforum.com and look to see if they have threads on your specific model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was here:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=16547768#post16547768The setting are absolutely perfect. Tried on different movies and games, perfect colors and very deep blacks. A lot of people think it looks dark (when the room lights are on) but they don't realize how cranked up the settings usually are in the store. That WOW factor doesn't mean good picture, but I digress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional setting for true colors are calibrated to work in a completely dark room. If you've got lots of ambient lighting or windows it won't look as good. Just take their settings and tweak them until you're happy.oh andmakes a world of difference on LCD, not so much on plasma... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUYZFR1 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 You can only do so much within the user settings. The 400.00 that best buy charges should be lot more involved using the service menu and a colorimeter to make sure your colors are really to spec. Also if you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't be in the service menu, you can really screw your TV up. It's one of those things if you're really into AV it's worth it otherwise it's a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
