Can anyone who owns one of these sets tell me what their contrast, brightness, etc settings are after they've used one of those Avia or DVE calibrations discs. Thanks in advance.

Bump

Picture-Normal
Bright-18
Contrast-44
Video Noise-Off
Color-High
Sharp-46
Tint-32
Color-35
I left all the Perfect color settings at 32 It probably needs tweeking but I found myself always messing with it so I just left then at default (32).

Madkaw, which calibration disc did you use?

I used DVE, there are alot of windows in my living room so a couple of the settings were compromises for watching movies at night or sat during the day.

brightness 31 default
contrast 55
sharpness 31 default
color 31 default
tint 31 default
perfect color 31 default
temp color high
I used Monster cable calibration disc. It actually tells you most color and tint on tvs is set fine from the factory, just not brightness and contrast.
I only use bright or natural settings, brilliant is not recommended by mits.

Has anyone accessed the service menu on this set? I have a friend that does professional calibration on HD sets and he asked if I knew the code to access the service menu. Of course, I don't.

Any advice?

Just thought i'd bump this to the top and ask if anyone has been able to access the service manual, and if so, what are your settings?

I just picked up this TV from CC ($1610 out the door) and would like to tweek it. HD looks really good. The SD looks like crap though, any suggestions from fellow owners? Also are there any "official WD 52631 owners" Threads?

Guess this isn't a popular model??

Service menu access is MENU 2 4 5 7
Video test patterns accessed by fast forward and rewind
VIDEO to scroll options
UP or DOWN to change values
ENTER to save a change
EXIT to get out without saving

I don't use it for anything checking lamp hours; the menu looks like it needs professional tools and expertise to exploit.

As to the question about what to do about SD; I can't find anything that helps much. Try to stay with programs that have better bandwidth because this set is just brutal about showing video shortcomings. Some SD programs are better than others.

I would also like to ajust settings on mine. just got one for $1000 at EX. where can i get one of those calibration discs? that sounds cool...

you can get one anywhere. just google dve or monster calibration disc.

Go rent the movie "Inland Empire", it has a calibration option on it that seemed to work pretty good.

Does ANYONE make adjustments through the PerfectColor thing?
