As anyone who has this tv should know the picture needs some adjusting, could anyone help me out and let me know what they have there tvs settings at? any help is great! i couldn't find anything online!
Answer
You won't find anything, because variaces in manufacturing of the set, your room, and even your eyesight will basically render them useless. The least you can do is get a calibration DVD and set the TV as per the instructions that came with the DVD, to the images the DVD provides.

What is the best HDTV LED ISF calbration DVD to optimize the color on my new Samsung TV?
Eddie
Colors on my new TV are not optimum. Someone told me to buy a calibration DVD online. I need help in choosing one.
Have any of you used one you liked?
Answer
= Note: You need a color filter to adjust the color and the tint of your TV.ect
- If your TV has a 'Blue Only Mode', turn that mode On for this test.
- Buy the THX Blue Filter Optimizer Glasses.
- Buy the Lee Calibration Filter Pack
- Buy or borrow a calibration disc like Spears and Munsil or DVE (either the HD or non-HD version), as they contain the blue filter.
What is HD-TV Calibration?
- Backlight: This setting is mostly found on LCD CCFL or LCD LED HD-TVs, it controls the overall light output of the CCFL or LED backlights. For best picture quality it should be set to 100. Set too high can cause eye strain and more power consumption.
- Color Temperature (aka, warm and normal and cool or a number in kelvin degrees .ect). Warm will look redish, cool will look blueish, normal will look neutral. You want this setting at about 6500 K (aka, D65), normal or warm color temperature will be the closest to this number. Warmer color temperatures use less power consumption and cooler color temperatures use more power consumption.
- Brightness (aka, black levels or luminance offset .ect): Try lowering this setting so you can get good blacks without losing details in dark scenes. Set too high can also cause picture artifacts and wash out the picture quality.
- Contrast (aka, picture or white levels or luminance gain .ect): Try raising this setting so you can get good whites without losing details in bright scenes. Set too high can also cause eye strain and picture artifacts and more power consumption and set too low you will lose picture quality.
- Color (aka, saturation .ect): Try setting this so you get good colors without it being under saturated or over saturated (over > under).
- Sharpness (aka, edge enhancement .ect): Set too low the picture will look too blurry (soft) and you may get picture artifacts (a little lower than mid setting for HD). Set too high the picture will look too edgy/fuzzy and you may get picture artifacts (a little higher than mid setting for SD).
- Overscan: Rescales the picture a little larger. Turn it off for LCD CCFL or LCD LED or Plasma HD-TV's. May be needed for CRT TV's.
- Hue: The color. - Tint: Lightens colors. - Shade: Darkens colors. - Tone: Greyens the colors. Your HD-TV may have some of these color settings and adjusting it may do something different then what the terms actually mean.
- Your HD-TV may have more advanced settings not described here. There is plenty of HD-TV calibration information on the internet.
- On almost any sony DVD movies and sony Blu-ray movies, you can use the free sony TV calibration. You will have to put in the 6779 easter egg code to access it. It's not very good and I don't recommend it.
- On many DVD movies and few Blu-ray movies, you can use the free THX Optimizer video+audio calibration. See if it has that feature listed on the back of the case of any of these movies http://www.thx.com/consumer/home-entertainment/thx-certified-releases/ . I like this one better than the sony one.
- Another free option that I would recommend the most is the AVS HD 709 - Blu-ray & MP4 Calibration found here http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration . It has a guide, but you can find more guides on other sites like http://www.tweakguides.com/HDTV_14.html OR http://lifehacker.com/5858625/how-to-calibrate-your-hdtv-and-boost-your-video-quality-in-30-minutes-or-less .
- There is also paid HD-TV calibration discs you can buy at the store, I have tried a few and some suck and only give you the basics while others are good and give you plenty. There is also a option for a professional to come in with devices and that can cost a lot of money to do it for you. Also, you can go on sites like CNET and see if they have a calibration settings for your TV model.
