DVE disk is cheap. It will encourage you to drastically change the settings you have chosen subjectively. I changed the settings above to what will be closer to an accurate picture, I guarantee it. If you read reviews, check TweakTV, or make even the least complicated attempt at an accurate picture, it will be much close to the settings I have chosen above. Backlight 0 for a batcave, 3 for a bright rooom. Settings for XBR Sony sets are all very similar.
