Your tv will look horrendous in dynamic mode. Every person here will tell you not to do that.

Plus, you are putting a TON of wear and tear on your tv by doing that, but to each his own.

Nice TV! Looks like you discovered what I was about to recommend. Dynamic / Vivid setting is something you'll want to stay away from for the reasons that SellMeYourDVD listed. Plus the picture itself won't be as impressive as it can be, because those settings tend to crush blacks and over enhance the image. It's one thing to have the image "pop", but you'll find a natural image to be much more pleasing. You can always increase the backlight setting if you want to give it a bit more "pop" without destroying the image.

You have no idea how happy I am that you decided to change your mind

I just connected the tv Via Ethernet and updated to the latest firmware does that affect picture quality?

I have a new question though I notice when watching TV the screen image has pixles on some channels is this normal or is the TV Bad? I have basic cable not DirecTV Yet FYI

If you are watching TV from a cable through the wall, yes it will be blotchy. You only have a coax cable hooked up into the tv right now, and that is why you only get SD channels.

Just like what progers said, you need a HD cable box OR an OTA antennae, which would be connected via a co ax cable to the OTA tuner on your tv.

I didn't know what you meant by "blotchy" because I haven't had cable TV for almost two years , and even when I had it, the only programming I ever watched was in HD.

If you want an OTA antennae, I'd suggest this

I use it when I do watch TV (football... and that's it). It picks up all my local stations plus a few others that are in HD.

Why does everyone say to turn the black contrast to off dont you want your blacks looking good and the same for auto motion being turned off why?

[Bluray Freak 2009]

Does anyone know the answer to the question I asked above?

[LUVIN THE BLU]

I have a 6000 series which is pretty much the same and i watch it in standard... alot of people like movie though which is just too dark for my taste. I'm all for realism on the picture but I need some kinda "pop"...movie just seems to drain all the color out in my opinion.

[StoneSour]

I just got a 700 series and i hooked up my PS3 to it, and on this tv it seems the movement can't keep up with the audio. Seems as its in slow motion. But when i watch regular tv it looks fine. I didnt have this problem with my other tv, anyway i can change this?

Anyone?? :-/

I would like to know why these settings are also always recommended to be off and also a setting called Edge Enhancement is suggested to be off why???

Does it shorten the life of the TV set?

Generally people recommend turning off any kind of processing, but it really is a matter of preference. My set doesn't have an option for edge enhancement, but in my experience EE goes hand in hand with DNR (digital noise reduction) which strips all fine detail from the picture. Basically, DNR is intended to remove noise from the source. Problem is, it dulls the picture way down to accomplish this. EE helps DNR by accentuating the edges of objects on sceen so they aren't as dull as they are when DNR is applied.

Most people avoid movies that have been DNRed for these reasons. The bigger the screen, the more noticeable it is (makes human actors look like wax figures without all the fine details we've come to expect from blu-ray). But, again, it really is up to your preference. Most people recommend to turn off all processing because of striving for the most accurate / realistic picture. And quite frankly, most blus look fine the way they are. Those that don't tend to be the result of a bad transfer, and adjusting your set really won't help much; all it will do is throw your calibration out of whack.

For an example of a poorly utilized DNR movie, read the video quality review on Superman Returns HERE. Another example is History of Violence HERE. Generally speaking, DNR and EE = bad.
