From my experiance with Samsung TVs looking at those settings the picture will alos have serious red push with the colour settings set to warm2, I have always found with Samsung sets the best starting point is the MOVIE setting with colour temp set to NORMAL then make adjustments from there using something like the THX tools on many DVDs or the DVE HD basics BD.

Hi, Thanks for the info about the calibration. Just a question to the What Hi Fi reviewers. How did they calibrate their le40b550 that they reviewed last month and gave 5 stars.

Thanks again

Paul

Agree completely, took me a month to get the settings right for movies - and like you suggest have the colour temp at Normal at Movie Mode.

Also, I have the backlight at 8 (this is not excessive IMO - see Watchmen and you'll agree), Brightness at about 40, Contrast at 90 - this works universally well for BDs and DVDs.

Interesting. I just took delivery of my le40b550 and I've been horrified by some of the picture quality, and trying to play with the settings. My old tv, a panasonic viera th 37px80b has got great colouring and black tones (it's a plasma) and never required any adjusting. It just seems like this LCD really has to struggle hard to get something natural. Is it just a question of getting the right configuration as per above? I'm a little afraid that when you have to keep changing the settings, there's always going to be something off, because the tv is basically not reproducing naturally. I don't know, what do you tv guys think?

reading through some other forums online, I'm glad to see I'm not crazy.

1) there are several different versions of this tv (as shown by the last letters that come after the main model code), and the lesser ones appear to be widely disliked for the way they deal with SD images (interlacing etc.) - I had the same thing.

2) as for the poor treatment of darkness, other reviewers acknowledge that this TV is subject to the "usual limitations" LCDs have. I guess that coming after a panasonic plasma the difference is more striking to me.

So I am going to return mine. Any ideas for a 37-40'' full HD that will deal well with dark hues and also do well with sports (wimbledon)?

Thanks!
