This is utterly false, motion lighting causes the LED's to strobe much like old CRT TV's, and it's not a bad thing, anyone who isn't use to an LED TV can turn this on and it will give the visuals of less jerky motions and smoothness overall.
#2, HDMI Black level Low
Nobody in their right mind should ever set this unless there's a reason to set it, you will clip info from the signal, and this should only be applied per source and only if it's needed. There are as of right now only a couple of cable boxes around that have their HDMI black levels off that would justify setting this.
#3, You may need to add a little or less depending on your room.
What?
#4, Brightness 48
This is the highest running value I've seen on these panels, it likely needed to be set this high to make up for the HDMI black level set to low.

I'll repost some settings in my next post with some more details on adjustments, it's been many pages since I've posted them.

Mine was on February 12th 2012.

Can someone let me know how to adjust this? Is this an issue with the settings?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I've also read your post about the calibration settings. For some reasons when I applied your settings, the picture came out kind of green on the skin tone. Shall I wait until the TV passes the 'break in' period before making any more changes? I just bought this TV a week ago.

Each panel is different, don't adjust the white balance controls, keep them at stock, my values came from the h303, but again each set is different, so it's possible that's whats causing the green blow out.

Prior glasses to 2011 won't work.

You don't need the expensive ones.

I guess this means the 3D portion of the UNXXD7000 is now obsolete?

One thing i don't like though the screen is a bit more reflective than i thought it would. Another concern i have is i hooked up my ps3 to it but all i am getting is sound no picture, but i have tried other sources that work. Kudos to Nitra he has been very helpful in his posting.
I read a lot before pulling the trigger on this one, even though i was more geared towards the Sony 929 model from all the reviews i saw. As you all know Sony has began to price themselves out of the range of ordinary folks like me with their UPP, so a Sammy is always a better deal price wise to me.

I have not tried 3D yet on this tv .. but i wanted to know.. does clouding get worse with more use or is it the other way round? How much does this affect the overall viewing quality? I only notice it when the screen is dark/black.. but it is quite noticable when the screen is dark/black..

I have read on other forums that rubbing the screen with microfiber cloth help reduce clouding..can someone validate this? to me it does not sound like it would work..

any input would be helpful othewise this TV will have to go back and i will probably settle for 55LW5600.

I'm running Windows Media Server, which I used with my prior monitor (a Pioneer plasma), with the same HDMI cable and it worked fine. I've tried all the HDMI inputs on the set and although all of them display video, I've got no sound with any of them. (I can hear sound when using the "audio test" menu function and also when using the standard TV/coax input).

Anything obvious that I might be overlooking? All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
