Have the PZ85, try these as a rough guide then tune for your eyes.

Picture menu

Cinema

Contrast about 60%

Brightness about 40%

Colour About 50%

Sharpness about 50%

Colour Balance Warm

Colour management off

PNR Off

Setup Menu

IFC (not sure if you have this) Off

Side Panel High

Picture Overscan ON (when watching SD) OFF when watching Blu Ray etc

Hope this helps.

Set it to that straight away.

Thanks blue, will let you know the outcome, just sorting out some wires and stuff while i have the opportunity, like a spring clean lol.

Hi blue, those settings seem ok, BBC HD on freesat looks stunning, very impressed so far, yet to try a BLU-RAY film and KILLZONE2 ON PS3 but the night is young.

I had it turned off intitially but things were a bit fuzzy. Ran the DVE HD BLu ray set up disk and those are my settings. I too was surprised but....... cracking picture!!

Bullitt, glad you seem to like them, its a good benchmark to go from anyway. Have you watched any SD yet?

I watched some SD and the picture is very crisp, but it wasnt a bad picture on my old 42px60 either this humax freesat is very good though for picture quality, i have just watched SAW V in master HD and its feeling and looking a cinema more each year lol, but i am very impressed with the pz81, colours seem richer and deeper, more natural.

The only thing is, when swapping from HDMI1/PS3 TO HDMI2/HUMAX FREESAT i have to press the AV button then scroll up, my other panny i just press once or twice on the blue button, is there an easier way of doing this ?

Menu - setup-power on preference-AV

This will automatically default to HDMI 1 when a signal is detected there.

Also if you keep pressing the AV button it will scroll to the next input.

You may want to go into Menu- Setup-input labels and skip the inputs you are not using. Makes scrolling a lot quicker. I only have HDMI 1 (Virgin) & 2 (Output from Reciever) with Wii on Componant

I have HDMI 1 on ps3, HDMI on freesat, AV1 (scart adapter) on Wii. thanks for tips.
