650 and up has 10,000 more contrast ratio than the 630, one extra HDMI input.
Now your settings is that the ISF calibration setting?

Now don't quite me on this, but I do believe it is. I used these settings from a post off of a different website's forum (not sure if I'm allowed to say the name). I set these on my TV when I first purchased it last June, so it's been a while for me to remember the exact post on that forum. I can tell you that the difference between my settings and the factory reset settings is astonishing.

BTW, I borrowed a calibration disc (have no clue what it was called, but it was for LCD TV's) from a friend and my settings were pretty much "spot on", with a tiny amount of corrections on my settings. Remember though, not all TV's will be the same and viewing environments,type of player, etc. has an effect on these settings as well. That's also why my "TV viewing" settings are different from the BR settings.

do you like your settings as they are? personally they look a little high, but its all personal preference. If I were you I would reduce the sharpness to about 10 max I have mine set to 0, and the DNR to Off-these two features will create grain on the screen, contrast to 80-90, Black adjust off (crushed blacks, lose shadow detail), backlight to about 4 (5 max) this gives you the blacks without sacrificing the shadow details, turn xvYCC on(natural looking colors & blacks), and then go to settings and find the HDMI black level setting and change it to Low. See if you find that helpful at all.

I'm gonna try that. I just never messed with the Red/Green etc..stuff, dont know how to do that.

Just tried the settings, seems dark. Just gotta make sure to change it back to standard when i play video games.

That's a bit dark isn't it. I used this settings, and it's kind of dark.
