The reds on mine were pretty off, right out of the box, even. Not sure if that's how the model is supposed to be or if it's a defect in my particular TV, but these settings have given me the best picture quality that I have ever seen. I used a Spears & Munsil calibration blu-ray which helped a great deal, but I still had to tweak it a lot on my own by using some of the films known to have the best PQ. Popped in The Thin Red Line, played around a bit, popped in How to Train Your Dragon, tweaked just a bit more (it's a very dark film at times), went back to TTRL and everything was pretty close to perfect. I received The Tree of Life for X-Mas and just watched it the other night. I have never seen a better live-action picture on any TV, ever, including my friend's Panasonic Plasma (which was calibrated using literally the same S&M disc that I used). HTTYD, in particular, I viewed on both TVs. I'd give it a 9 on the Panny and a 10+ on my Sharp, and I'm not just saying that because it's mine. It's just that awesome.

May have to do with it being a different model, but I also watch my movies in complete darkness.

does anyone have any good settings for LC-42LE540U. or a tv similar, have not had time to sit down and try to calibrate.

Just bought a Sharp AQUOS 80" LED - LC80LE632U. Looking for some good settings if anyone can help.

I've seen lots of different calibrations posted on various message boards but have yet to find what I feel is that sweet spot. Most settings are way to dark for my tastes even though I watch my set in a darkened room with an adequate amount of backlighting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I got an old Sharp LC-26SH12U that I got for free about a year ago in my bedroom. Perfect Size in my small room. 26 inch and 720p. The sounds sucks though so I have it hooked up to my Panasonic stereo.

My settings:

AV Mode: Memory
Brightness: 27
Contrast: 36
Color: 18
Tint: 0
Sharpness: 0
Color Temp: Cool
Back Lighting: 16

I usually watch in a fairly dim to dark room. Have my Sony BDP-S590 connected via HDMI.
