Standard vs. Movie Mode?

[Gung_ho]

Hello everyone,

New member here. I've got a Samsung LN46A530, PS3 and a Samsung HT TWZ312 home theatre system (not the greatest theatre system but came as a package deal with the tv so no complaints). I've got the PS3 hooked up directly to the tv via HDMI and the home theatre via component (no hdmi output).

I'm just trying to figure out the difference between the different modes (standard, movie, dynamic). I've seen various suggested callibration settings but some offer ones for only standard while others only movie (never really both).

So, the question is what is the difference? Is one a mode that is good for standard tv, HD TV, blu-ray/PS3? Or do I need to keep switching the modes from standard (for regular tv viewing) and movie (for ps3/blu-ray viewing)?

Also, what if I'm watching sports? Do I need to change the settings for 'sports' too?

There are soooo many options it's hard to figure out how to best enjoy my tv when viewing different things (sports, movies, regular tv).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
