Help! most of my blu-ray titles look very grainy

Agree with the sharpness setting. Get/borrow one of those adjustment DVDs or Blu-Rays (aka Digitial Video Essentials). Also your contrast (or is it brightness) may need some fine tuning, and this type of disk will get you way closer to the ballpark.

(Edit: previous post is probably a good place to start )

Thanks for supporting my previous post but I just noticed that I should have quoted everything so he would know that these recommendations are just a start:

"Hello all,

Here are my new recommended starter settings for Samsung HL-S displays (lamp or LED based). Don't forget that these are starting points from which to perform a more in-depth and accurate DVE user-menu calibration.

Digital NR - OFF
DNIe - Off
Mode - Movie
Contrast - 40
Brightness - 42
Sharpness - 0
Color - 45
Tint - G50/R50
Color Tone - Warm2

Eliab"

And in case your wondering, Eliab is an Avical Calibrator located in New Jersey who happens to belong to the AVS Forum. Also, DVE stands for Digital Video Essentials and it is available in blu-ray format!
