Phillips 42PFL740H Ideal settings

[AndyWright]

Hi All,

I'm getting on of these babys delivered soon - Phillips 42PFL740H - Just wondering if anyone could tell me what the ideal setting for this TV are. I've heard that Philips are notoriously difficult to get set up right and I think I will need some help.

Hey even if you dont own this exact model, just a rough guide for Brightness, Contrast, Colour Temp etc would be extremely useful. Many thanks guys.

PS. I love this forum you guys cheer me up pretty much every day! Best forum on the web!!!

PPS. I hope all that sucking up gets me some comments

I've also just ordered one of these. So if you find out from somewhere else Andy, I'd be grateful if you could let me know too!

Or if someone on here can help - there are two of us asking now
