Need help with 42 inch LG monitor settings.. please! - Blu-ray Forum

Blaze98 · 09-21-2009, 08:52 AM

Ok guys i need some expert advice!, my monitor that i bought used im sure has a decent amount of hours on it and a little burn in, but since i've had it a week the original burn in image is gone!, but now after playing a ps3 game for 2-3 minutes where there is a image that stays in one place, after i turn it off or change to something else the faint image is still there on a dark screen. im sure this is some sort of IR (image retention). What i need is help on what settings this monitor should be set at, like should it be set to XD mode? should it be set to daylight,night time, warm, cold, contrast brightness ect. I know tv's are different but i dont have a manual and have not ever messed with a plasmas before any help would be awesome!

i looked in the calibrate your tv thread and could not find anything for my tv

I have a 50LG (see sig), but don't know anything about the XD mode.

I just calibrated my screen w/ the Sound and Vision dvd. I don't get any IR.

What I recommend you do is at least try to not set either the Contrast or brightness @ 100%. I think Plasmas are bright even @ 70% and love the kick butt blacks

I got a stunning picture and love it. I play plenty of PS3 action on my Plasma and very happy and no issues of IR.

So you have something like Game mode, setting?
