Could someone please help me with picture settings for movies and gaming and standard SD channels. Is there a way a profile can be saved for each of these on this tv so i dnt have to keep adjusting. I have one for movies but think it could be better. Gaming is a real issue becuase either i end up making it too bright or not bright enough.. What settings do you guys use for gaming?

Ginder, I use Cinema preset.
All Sources -
Backlight 1
Contrast 79
Colour 50
Brightness 53 (I think thats the order! These settings are the calibrated settings another review site used for the W4000)
Sharpness 0 (for SD 3)
Light sensor on
Motionflow - standard (for gaming I put game mode on to reduce the input lag)
All other enhancements off
Also, for gaming rather than adjust the TV screen settings to suit the game I change brightness, etc in the game menu. This means I can keep different display settings for each game rather than have to modify the screen settings.
Hope this helps

Does your tv auto dim when there should be a nice transition from light to dark scenes and vice versa?? I havent noticed it in the shops but on my 40W4500 its becoming annoying. DO you think it could be a problem with my set??
Could the WHF team answer that as they reviewed the TV please?

I also found this
"Autodimming: this feature was put in by sony to reduce clouds by dimming the backlight in black scenes or mostly black scenes. the annoying thing about it is that it can't be turned off, so the backlight fluctuations do occur in movies with particularly dark scenes where most of the screen is black such as the credits at the end of the movie. it does get really annoying at times, for instance, when the credits were rolling with only a few names at the beginning, the backlight dims because it detects a mostly black screen. but then when more white texts and words rolled in, the backlight brightens up again because the screen wasn't mostly black anymore.
So you can imagine that it is even more annoying when this happens in the middle of the movie because when the backlight dims, it dims everything else on the screen such as colors and shadow detail. it is pretty subtle though and it doesn't dim all the time (only in very dark and mostly black movie scenes), but when it does, it is annoying as hell. I found a way to disable it, two ways actually. One is by turning ON the light sensor, but this only works in a completely dark room. so if the sensor only sees the dark, it keeps the backlight at the lowest level and never brightens. The other way is to just turn the ACE setting to HIGH which lowers the backlight somewhat(I just upped the backlight 1 notch and it evens out) but it stopped the autodimming."

Does anyone recommend full pixel mapping for upscaled DVDs, or is it only worth while for bluray?
