I know everyone says to use cinema/movie mode as it provides the most "accurate" settings, but I use standard. I just don't like how the movie mode dulls everything and makes it look reddish, even if that is more accurate, IMO. Just don't use vivid/dynamic because the settings are so "juiced", they can drain the life of your set. Plus, I think dynamic makes everything look bluish.

I use the movie settings for BD. Standard when i'm watching TV, game when playing PS3, and Dynamic (Fixed) when watching sports. I also use the user setting (set by paidgeeks instructions on how to setup colors on Sony discs) when watching tv programs.

Great thread!! I've learned more in the last couple of minutes reading than the last few months trying to learn this stuff through my own investigation!

i wouldn't use standard and dynamic doesn't kill the life or look bluish

and if you use vivid just adjust the saturation

i watch television with
:-44 briightness
:59 contrast
:50 hue
:53 saturation
