Would you, or anyone, happen to have proper settings for Xbox360 gaming?

The autodim was killing me below 30IRE, I had to use the APL 10% scale just so I had enough images on the screen to stop the damn autodimming. It's awesome for hiding clouds but a real pain when calibrating. A lot of people on the 750 thread are turning off the feature in the service menu but this is an easy work around for those who don't feel comfortable messing around in the service menu.

This pattern set is found on the trusty free AVSHD Calibration disk (thanks guys).

Doubt these will work for everyone but should be a good starting point.

I can't say I agree with many of these settings, but then it's not me that is watching. The colorspace settings will shift the primary and secondary colors is odd directions, I have no idea why anyone would want so much red in the green and blue, but what ever...

Does this reduce the lag? I heard something like the resolution gets downgraded if you do this. I didn't want to keep going back and forth between game mode and movie mode every time I play a game or watch a movie. What's the best way to keep a good picture and eliminate the lag?

I tried the PC mode workaround and I didn't really notice a difference. Rock Band ended up calibrating to the exact same settings as movie mode. The only real difference I noticed was with game mode on.

By the way...this thread is a real bummer there's no activity.

After trying My own settings, Cnet, Tweaktv and settings posted on here, I've finally settled on the following:

Mode: Standard
Backlight: 8
Contrast:95
Brightness:43 (Set with DVE)

Sharpness: 20 (anything below gets too soft for me, anything higher too much noise on some objects)

Color:50 (set with DVE..er rather left unchanged)

Tint: 50/50 (same as above)

Advance settings

Black tone: Off
DC: Off
Gamma 0
Color Space: Auto (Tried douglashowitzer color tone and space settings, some things looked fine, some things had a green tint that shouldn't.. went back to auto)

White Balance: Default
Flesh tone 0
Edge Enhancement: Off
xvYCC: Off

Picture Options

Color Tone: Normal
Size: 16x9
DNR: Off
HDMI Black Level: Not Selectable
Film Mode: Not selectable
Blue Mode: Off (Of course)
Auto Motion Plus: Custom
Blur 10
Judder 0 (Started at 5 and it made strange halos around certain moving objects.. 0 removed all the weird artifacts)

Not sure if mine are right for anyone else's set up, but thanks to everyone that posted theirs, I was able to arrive to mine quicker.

EDIT: Had to come to a happy Medium, Loved my original settings on movies.. Hated the settings on a Football game.
because all my sources are coming in one input...I like this setting as an all purpose Directv.. Movies Football & PS3 Blu-ray.

But your settings have brought things into line....

thanks for sharing....
