Vizio picture settings - Custom or Vivid? - Blu-ray Forum

rooboy78 · 05-28-2010, 09:00 PM

I currently have a 37" Vizio in my bedroom. I am trying to decide which one is better...Vivid is bright and seems very detailed (this is the one I have had it on since I got it), but Custom seems smoother and warmer and some people seem to suggest this option.

I was curious what other Vizio owners prefer to have theirs set on.

I have mine set to custom and tweaked it some to my liking.

The custom setting lets you tweak your tv more.

Never, ever use vivid/dynamic.

I have to agree with Ricshoe. Using vivid or dynamic also shortens the lifespan of your tv due to the high brightness of the lamps. Use customs with a proper calibration and your eyes will thank you.
