Hey,
I've been mostly very happy with this TV I got a few months back (the 47" version), the picture is good but I'm sure it could be even better
In one of the menus I noticed a funny thing - in the Picture menu, go to Advanced Settings - White Balance - More Detailed Adjustment, and it says:
Input Signal Level - 100 IRE
R Gain
G Gain
B Gain

Anyone know what these settings are? Wondering if I should change them in any way?

My other settings are:
Viewing Mode: True Cinema
Backlight 35
Contrast 80
Brightness -18
Colour 60
Tint 0
Sharpness 0
Colour Temp Warm2
Vivid Colour Off
Adaptive Backlight Min

Well if I said that the telly display panel uses a grid of Red Green and Blue elements to create the image does that give you a clue?

Yes, it does, thank you
I wouldnt really know what settings on that part would look good though, I tried the Picture Perfect settings (AV forums) and it didnt mention those.

It's not a matter of dialling in a set of numbers. Every single display panel is different, even two that come consecutively off the assembly line in the factory. Then you have to factor in the environment the TV is used in, for example the lighting in the room.

All this means that it is pointless dialling in a set of numbers from some other telly used by someone else in some other environment. And of course how do you know the person who set up their telly has perfect vision?

There are test disks you can get to allow you to set up the TV. If you haven't got one then a reasonable substitute is to use a TV programme shot outdoors in natural light with no effects applied, eg sport or news. And preferably a HD channel as well. Set the TV to give the most natural flesh tone you can get. That should get you pretty close.
