Getting Sony 46w3000-best settings? - Blu-ray Forum

npanzeca · 02-01-2008, 06:48 PM

My new 46 inch Sony w3000 is coming tomorrow. Can anyone suggest the best settings to use right out of the box? I'm pretty pumped as this is my first 1080p TV and can't wait to see how my blu ray movies look!

Calibrate your HDTV.

...most definitely.

Thanks, never saw it at BB but probably because I wasn't looking for it.

Here you can try my settings that I use for Blu-ray. I have the KDL52W3000 but the settings are probably the same on the KDL46.

Picture Mode: (Cinema)

backlight 4
picture 87
brightness 48
color 55
hue 0
color temp warm 1
sharpness min
noise reduction off
mpeg noise reduction off
drc mode off
black corrector off
advance C.E. off
gamma low
clear white off
color space standard
live color off
white balance (factory setting)
detail enhancer off
edge enhancer off

General Settings:

light sensor off
power saving off

If you have a HDMI v1.3 Blu-ray player you can also change the following

Video Options:

Video Color Space change from Auto to X.V. Color
RGB Dynamic Range from Auto to FULL

The full RGB made a hell of a difference on my TV with the PS3 also on Full RGB.

Have fun and enjoy your new TV.

Do yourself a favor, first off never use your eye to calibrate the setting on your display, same goes when setting up your audio channel levels by ear, always use a sound level meter. Use a disc with steps to follow to get the optimal picture such as Monster HDTV Calibration Wizard. The disc is easy to use and you get professional results without the cost of a professional. Here is the link to get it from Crutchfield.

There are others out there but this is very simple and straight forward. A priceless investment at $25 with outstanding results.

Side note if possible always use your HDMI connections.
