Go into menu, select Channel, select channel edit. Follow the icon buttons functions on the bottom of the screen.

I picked up 2 BD530s and 2 BD550 for $75 each also. Still comparing them both. I do like the increased NetCast features on the BD550, and the picture is a tad better than the BD530, but not by much.

Ok, on cable boxers and things liek DircTV and Dish, there are always kind of "weird" differences in the video signal from them. I always got a hazy over shadow on my Dish, and about the same on DirecTV with some blue tint to it.

That said, try the Expert2 settings, if that doesn't work try decreasing the R (red) a point or two ( or just leave and increase blue), and INCREASING the B (blue) a point or two at IRE 100, 90, and maybe 80. Do this only a point or two at a time, then check your results. It would be best if you can do it on a still image or something like hockey or that you are familiar with. Remember though, "white" is rarely "pure" white even on ice or white backgrounds. What I would do it have Expert 1 set a little warmer than Expert 2. Then use either depending on what you are watching. Why? Because D65, or 6500K, is the color temperature of natural light. There are many posts in this thread where I explain this. The only place you might want a "pure" white" color setting is for video games, where it's all artificial anyway.


Why is this important? As soon as you start getting away from natural white, which is actually an "off white", the other colors will be off. What's the big deal with that? You will lose realism and the almost 3D look to movies and sports images. If you set Expert 2 up like I just said, by tweaking the red/blue and leave Expert 1 with a bit of off white to it, you will see this when a high quality movie is on.

If you want more info on this, do a search on the main page here on AVS or Google ISF calibration and 6500K color temperature. The bottom line is, a too bright, snappy picture draws the eyes attention for awhile, but if a TV is set properly, the images should look pretty much the same brightness and color spectrum as if they were in the same room you are in.

Hope this helps! The LG BD530 can;t be beat for the money I don't think. Enjoy!

Your menu ia entirely different than U.S. models. You need to look for this info in a forum for Euro LG products.

We have no "Radio Channels" in our U.S. model LG televisions.

Sorry, but this is just another example of difference in markets.

Thanks, and glad to hear the settings helped you get a great picture!

I missed a great deal on a 47LD650 and sometimes wish I would have gotten one.

Check the box it came in for the model number sticker. The number you are looking for is right nex to the model number and will designate what panel you likely have: 32LD550 UB.CUSWLH

The W sigifies IPS panel.

If you read back a few posts, one new owner said that he could see the label on the back of the panel for his 55" or 60" and it was made by Sharp. Do not know what kind of panel though.
