65869 Setting Help

[Poisonos]

What are the best video settings for this tv. How high should the contrast/sharpness/brightness/tint/color and everything else be for optimal picture quality? Any advice on adjusting the settings would be appreciated.

I am new to HDTV's but I purchased the Sound & Vision DVD and performed the calibrations suggested on the DVD and the picture looks very good. It probably depends on how it was set up when you recieved it. My color, brightness, tint etc. were all pretty much dead in the middle when I had it installed. The contrast, I think, maybe sharpness however was maxed out, probably not a good idea. I also perfomed the "red push" adjustment listed here also. Now contrast is 5 ticks below center, brightness is 4 below, sharpness is 6 below, color is 6 above, and tint is centered. Just what I did. Be careful if you do the red push as you can probably mess up your tv if not careful.
