David Katzmaier from CNET came up with most of these specs, i changed a few things just on personal preference.

Just tried that and makes everything look like sh1t. The whites turn yellow-ish and just looks horrible. I'll stay with "Vivid" and changed a couple settings to go with the THX optomizer from Terminator 2.

I changed the color to 60 and the brightness to 55 and turned on the light sensor to reduce clouding in a dark environment.

the yellowish look is from the warm2 color temp, thats why i put noted my preference was neutral.

I am no expert but not every tv will show the same picture with the same settings.

You should adjust/calibrate your tv independently with a calibration disc for the best picture possible.

Do a search for calibrating with a test disk. Invest in a test disk.
Best thing you can do for your tv.
