Contrast and Brightness Settings

[lucaaugustus]

I have my settings set in Movie mode. As for Contrast and Brightness settings go. How high do you have your Contrast and Birghtness set to?

I have them set at C:75 and B:54. I feel like setting my contrast higher but I'm afraid that it will affect the phosphurs.

It varies depending on your particular TV model and your viewing environment. The easiest way is to use a calibration blu-ray to check the levels and set them with the disc. Here are a few discs you can download and use free or buy at a retail/online store:

AVS HD 709 (free, just have to download the image and record to a blu-ray disc or dvd disc)
Spears and Munsil
DVE HD
Disney World of Wonder

Alternatively, you could do a earch on google for your particular TV's model number and maybe someone has posted settings which may or may not work for your particular TV set.

I hav found a few settings for my PN51D6500 and most of them have a higher contrast than what I am currently using. I did notice that when watching a dark movie I cannot sometimes distiguish the dark details. Some dark scenes seem to be in as one.

I would suggest a calibration disc to fix this problem, as once done correctly you will notice a marked improvement.

I'm actually in the process of purchasing Disney's WOW. Thanks!
