So I have a Phillips 30pw9100d widescreen crt. I've been using Active Control to give me the best picture while watching hddvd's via my xbox360. Now all of a sudden Active control has stopped working in hd component mode and hdmi. I know nothing about picture settings.. There's a noticeable difference now vs when active control was working. Can someone please help me out with what I should set each setting at to get good pic quality while viewing hddvd's? I've been messing with the settings for days and I'm never really satisfied. Really wish AC still worked.. The warranty just ran out a few months ago too. :(

my tv has:

Brightness
Color
Picture (I dont have a clue what to set this at)
Sharpness
Tint
Color temp
Contrast- on/off

You are in the wrong forum(This one is for CRT Front Projectors).

You need to calibrate your display, I would visit the calibration forum...

Buy a test disk, follow the instructions...
