anyone have the SAMSUNG LN-T4061F

I have the SAMSUNG LN-T4061F for my display... Does anyone else have this tv? or a similar model?

If so i am wondering what you prefer on your settings? Are you finding that the extra enhancers are helpful? things like the xvYCC, the gamma adjustment, the dynamic contrast, edge enhancer etc... These settings make big differences and i'm wondering if they are worth using... Of course i can see for myself, but when calibrating would you say to turn these things on or off? things like the dynamic contrast and the xvYCC make huge differences, not sure if these are just bogus additions or what... Thanks guys!

have you calibrated your tv at all? Either by yourself or a professional? I wonder what kind of difference this Display will allow while calibrated.

I have this television. Can someone explain what calibration is? I'm kind of confused. Is it the optimal setting for the television? Can it make it really look that much better?

There was a topic similar to this not too long ago and they had some calibation settings (not professional though) that I'm using. It looks good I guess.

Kimosaabee, calibration is not about using certain setting features or not. It's about getting the set in it's closet form of peak operating settings and then deciding from that point what you think looks best. As I've posted in another thread, calibration will do two primary things that will benefit your TV and your viewing experience.

One, it will get the coloration as close to real life according to a colorized analysis so the TV doesn't strain trying to reproduce unrealistic and taxing colors that will adversely affect your TV. Two, it will reduce the amount of heat that your set produces, especially Plasmas, that will damage and shorten the life expectancy of your set.

Calibrating a TV is something that's actually necessary because of its relevance to the physical effects that take place on the TV if you didn't calibrate. This is similar to calibrating or spectrum analyzing a room for a sound system. You calibrate for sound in a room so it levels all your highs and all your lows according to size and acoustics within that specific room so you can crank that volume and not come to the point of distortion and damage your speakers. Of course, you can alway make some adjustments to bring the sound to your personal liking. Some like more highs, while others like less. Does that make sense? When you calibrate TVs you will use less settings features afterwards to adjust it right to the point of where you like it. In other words, you'll adjust maybe color and tint very lightly to achieve your perfect picture instead of messing with every setting to an extreme to hit and miss to that same goal.

Overall, I believe that calibration is necessary in whatever form you choose to do it.

yeah that makes total sense! I guess i may have to get it done by a professional... i dont know if just messing around with the settings will do all that much... comparitivley of course.

Do you know that if my tv gets unplugged, or the power goes out will the calibration be off again?

No, losing power to the set won't lose your settings.
