WESTINGHOUSE: Share Your Custom Display Settings

[crackinhedz]

This thread is intended for members to share their custom picture settings for all WESTINGHOUSE model TV's.

To help make life easier for others...please try to include (but not limited to):

TV Model Number?
Weather it's an ISF Calibrated setting or Disc calibrated setting?
What Input Connection this setting is used for? (ex. HDMI, Component, Composite etc)
What device is connected? (dvd player, bluray player, cable tv ..etc)
What kind of room lighting you have? (dark, dim, bright etc)
Any key features that are turned on or that should be turned off?


Additional Info: *Calibrate Your HDTV*

*Please do not criticize settings being shared...it is a courtesy to those who cannot afford an ISF calibration or do not own a calibration dvd.

*Please also keep in mind that using someone else's settings may look good but it does not necessarily mean it will be ideal for your viewing pleasure and may require some tweaking.

*It is also NOT recommended for anyone to go into the Service Menu to make any adjustments.

You are awesome. I've been looking for help with these settings for a while. I think this monitor is amazing for the price. What do you think about yours?

If you have a Westinghouse as I do (47" LCD 1080p), you likely tend to notice that it isn't quite as good as the higher priced LCDs. So, after research and developing a blister on my thumb I came up with these two settings:

A warm and rich look:

(from a B.Buy blog)

Bright - 48
Contr - 48
Saturation - 56
Sharp - 33
Backlight - 80
Temp - Warm (with these slight
adjustments / Red - 132 Green - 128 Blue - 138)

(I like this one for the history channel)

A soft and cool look:

(my own recipe)

Bright - 52
Contrast, Sat & Hue - 50
Sharp - 27
Backlight - 90
Temp - Cool
Skin Tone - 50
Dynamic Contrast - OFF

(I like this one for House, music performances & sci-fi)

Believe the hype: an upgraded power cord does help with the sharps and blacks.

So, try those out and you may be able to milk the mid-fi!

Good luck fellow remote tweakers!

i have a LVM42w2

im always trying to change my settings to get the setting that best suits be, but i never seem to be 100% satisfied, but i think thats because im a very indecisive person..

But this is the best picture i got that satisfies my taste..but then again im probably going to find something wrong with it..[lol i really need a picture calibrating software]

Brightness: 43 [anything above 45 looks washed out]
Contrast: 80-90 [the picture looks nice and more bold around these settings]
saturation: 70-75
hue: -10-0 [helps balance out the oversaturated Reds, and helps make the greens more vibrant, since theyre undersaturated IMO]
Backlight: 35-50
Sharpness: 5
Color Temp: Neutral [gives the blue i need, and having a good balance with red green and blues..]

I did use warm a lot before. But i noticed that the picture was more red/orange dominant, with a lack of white and blues, and the black levels didnt seem as deep as i wanted. Maybe theres a way to make the settings perfect for the warm temperature..but im too lazy to do any video adjustments for that temperature.

anyone got some recommendations?

I'm reviving an ancient thread. I own a Westinghouse VR4625 and have used some of the settings suggested in this thread. My tv doesn't have a backlight, hue, or saturation option. Weird cause I bought my tv in 2012.
