Pro-calibrated settings for Samsung PN50C680

Although each panel is slightly different, this will be a good reference point. The settings not mentioned are kept at default, in Movie mode:

Cell Light: 15
Contrast: 97
Brightness: 36
Sharpness: 5
Color: 49

Under Advanced settings, the white balance:

R-Offset: 24
G-Offset: 25
B-Offset: 28
R-Gain: 28
G-Gain: 25
B-Gain: 26

I was kinda surprised actually. I thought calibrating meant it brings out the most detail, vivid colors, etc. After calibration though, the picture is set to look the most lifelike and realistic possible instead of "enhanced" for lack of a better term.

Enjoy!

Thanks for these settings. Any idea what Color Tone you're using. Mine was defaulted to "Warm 2" under Picture > Picture Options > Color Tone.

Yeah, it was setup under the Warm2 color tone for me as well. He showed me the chart showing where it was before and after and for the overall warmth of the picture, Standard was too high and Dynamic was WAY too high. I don't understand the technical reasoning behind it, but he said the ideal picture temperature was I think 15,000 Kelvins hehe. With Nyamic it was up around 40K I think or higher.

I just bought the PN50C680G5F 50" 3D Plasma. It is freaking awesome. I returned my pn50c490 3d and got this one. the old one was 720p and this one is 1080p. $100 difference.

I am just loving it.

Tried these setting last night but it didn't worked for me, picture is too dim and barely visible. I'm getting an Spyder and doing the calibration myself.

Old thread hoping people will be subscribing. I'm looking for better calibration settings. The top setting is missing a whole bunch of the advanced setting numbers needed. Can anyone share there settings?

@ crashoverride
I subscribed a while ago, just to keep tabs on the settings.
I just bought the Disney WOW Blu-Ray, but am in the process of rebuilding my media center so I haven't calibrated yet.
There are some other threads and some useful amazon reviews you can look at for the settings on this particular model.
