Anyone know any good settings for the Samsung LN-T4069F? The picture is pretty good right now, but I feel its lacking something. If anyone could chime in I'd appreciate it.

This post from avs seems pretty popular for XX61/65 owners. I used these settings on my xx65 and have really enjoyed them, they're at least a good starting point.

Hope this helps!

Could someone please give me some advise on the best settings for my SAMSUNG LCD HDTV? It's the SAMSUNG LA32S81BX. I have it connected through the HDMI and I run it at 720p. I just can't seem to find a setting that I like. No matter how much I tweak the settings the image always ends up either too bright or too dark. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Also, what would be the recommended settings with a PS3/Xbox 360 hooked up to this TV? Please keep in mind that it's through the HDMI connection.

Can anyone give me some settings here? I would greatly appreciate it.
I just bought it and it is right out of the box!
THANKS

I beleave that the settings that I posted above are for all of the LN-T40__-_ Group. These settings got me close to what I liked. Your room lighting will make a difference on what you need to set your backlighting and brightness setting at.

Contrast 88
Brightness 50
Sharpness 40

My Color Control
Pink 15

Size: Just Scan
Digital NR: Off
Active colour: greyed out (off)
DNIe: On
Auto Motion Plus 120Hz: Off (This setting doesent really matter with the colour, it doesent seem to work for me without sttutering on the xbox 360 (works for games tho) and I have no blu-ray or stand alone HD-DVD or HD playback capable PC to test it to see if it still stutters. The actual mode does work (smooths out the video) but like I said, unwatchable with stuttering. Even without stuttering Its still a matter of opinion if you would want to watch a film this way.

Setup
Game mode: Off
Energy Saving Off
HDMI Black Level Low (Note I have my xbox 360 set to Standard black reference level here. If your 360 is set with a higher reference level, turn this off (see my next post for more detail.)

I only use my TV + PS3 for playing PS3 games and Watching Blu-Ray movies... I have cable hooked up but never watch it.

If anyone could recommend settings for my TV that would be awesome.

Also... I coulda sworn there was 2 different menu's on the TV for adjusting settings but i can only get into the one right now...

NOTE: After calibration, color was diminished beyond what I personally thought looked good. I adjusted color up a couple of notches after calibration to meet my color standard. Calibration made a noticeable difference in diminished heat output. Blu-Ray looks phenomenal.

I have a bunch of flat screens for home and business. I came across this site that has suggested settings that I think add some nice perspective to all the data that everyone is putting up here. I found these for the Samsung FP-T5084 http://www.tweaktv.com/component/opt...9&model_id=120

[zak88lx]

Does anyone have some settings or know of a site that has settings for the Samsung HL-R6168W 61" DLP Projection TV?

I'm mainly watching Blu-ray movies on my PS3.

Thanks,
Zak
