Will these calibration settings work for me?

[jorjoskim]

I have the same TV as this guy, And my blu ray player is different cause it is a bdp-s300 instead of an S350. So would i just be able to use his settings instead of buying a DVE disc?

"1st Power-up Picture Settings
1) Change Picture Mode = ....... MOVIE (which Lowered Contrast & Brightness levels)
2) Turned Sharpness down = ... 0
3) Change Temperature = ....... WARM

VIDEO CALIBRATION - Digital Video Essentials SD DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray - 16x9 Anamorphic test screens
1) Pluge test screen for "Contrast & Brightness"
