Those settings are WAY TOO DARK. No offense, I'm asking those who own a XBR9 that can test the setting so they can tell me how they look to them.

while i don't own that tv, i know that is a really nice highly advanced HDTV and i think at that dollar amount that you spent, if it were me, i'd pay the 300+ to have it professionally calibrated. i know that set cost you some coin, so i'm just saying...

oh yeah, really nice tv! i love sony tv's!

That's what I'm going to probably end up doing. All this different calibrations are going to drive me mad. Once my financial situation improves, it'll be easier to do. For now, I want to see what my fellow XBR9 owners settings are (to compare notes, test out their settings and they'll test out mine and give feedback).
