The Tweaked Brighter Colormunki Sinusoidal Settings (Double Conversion UPS):
Greetings Colleagues,
An unexpected but pleasant result of using a double conversion ups was a darker picture. I compared the samsung's picture to another nearby television and noticed the darker picture. I actually had to raise the gamma setting to brighten the picture for all modes, and the brightness settings had to be lowered per technique in using the DVE calibration disc. Even some color and tint settings changed a little. Sharpness settings remained the same. I think the picture quality is better.
See following link for DIY calibration techniques for plasma tvs:

Sharpness calibration is not that easy and many calibrators' suggestions may vary. One suggestion indicated that sharpness can be best set by using thick or thin lines in a sharpness pattern, depending on your tv. The 1080p sharpness pattern on the DVE disk has thinner lines and may lead to a sharper picture after calibration. I have also posted the sharpness settings below after using the DVE 1080p sharpness pattern. The original sharpness settings used the DVE 720p sharpness pattern.For DIY Calibrators: Peak White for Standard Modes is approximately 45 ftL and for Movie Modes is approximately 35 ftL.Tweaked: 3/14/2013
Also changed set top box input from native to 1080i. See: http://www.hometheater.com/content/1080p-vs-720p-displays for information regarding scaling effects from interactions between various devices.Movie Modes Tweaked 3/24/2013 due to increase in contrast to decrease tinting
