Hadn't thought of that ... great advice. Turns out, however, a 60" NX720 was found and it should ship in 2 days! Thanks to all!

I'm not sure if you've already checked out the AVS settings thread for the NX720.

Plus my room isn't always as dark as I would like, and while I think burn in has been resolved for the most part I'm not convinced that image retention has been and even temporary image retention is not something I could live with.

But not everyone is as paranoid as I so I think plasmas can be nice sets. With any TV nowadays you pick your poison and I prefer LED's poison I guess. But a lot of my friends own nice plasmas.

Yeah a bunch of those are posted on page 58 of this thread. I tried many of them. Most of them are way too grainy with all those noise options turned off. It looks worse than my 7 year old Aquos.

I just calibrated myself starting with the default standard settings and making some changes here and there, such as changing motion to clear.

Mine are below. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't like them, I just thought I would offer them up. What source are you viewing/testing with, when viewing this graininess? You shouldn't see any graininess with BD/HD sources. If you do, it's most likely not caused by the tv. I would start over, by resetting all your pic adj settings.

If you prefer to use the 240hz Motionflow, for fast movies, change the Motionflow setting to Clear and, bump up the backlight about 4 notches (So, for BD: backlight from 3 to 7, brightness 50).

No way, you have your backlight is set to 1 I thought.

I get a bit of graininess with PC and DVD sources, but never HD/BD. Me thinks that this person has screwed with the settings way too much or has a bad/weak shielding on the cable they are using.

I would start over with the settings, switch cables, and test with a great source (BD).

Yea man I agree with you. I tried those settings and was saying to myself "what the hell, this is horrible" There was no color and it looked way off. Sometimes I think these people are blind on how they put their settings. It makes me laugh. But again to each is own. I just feel bad that they are not getting their money's worth and even worse, they are posting settings as a possible reference for others.

I tried clear before and it was decent, I just had to raise the back light and the brightness a little. If it is true what was said and tested about clear that is it utilize all 1080 lines of resolution unlike the standard that uses 550 lines.

You shouldn't need all those darn filters on to get a good to great picture with a BD/HD source. I'm sorry, if that's the case, then you might want to start looking for the problem elsewhere. Having all those filters on sometimes does the opposite of helping your PQ, so be mindful of what you are turning on and how much.

What are you calibrating your set with is what I would like to know. If you are using a burned/compressed DVD disc/file or SD cable channel, then sure I could see you getting grain.

Film grain is inherent in all films.

Quote:


Film grain or granularity is the random optical texture of processed photographic film due to the presence of small particles of a metallic silver, or dye clouds, developed from silver halide that have received enough photons. While film grain is a function of such particles (or dye clouds) it is not the same thing as such. It is an optical effect, the magnitude of which (amount of grain) depends on both the film stock and the definition at which it is observed. It can be objectionably noticeable in an over-enlarged photographic film photograph.

I had it at 1 prior switching to Clear but mine never goes higher than 5. But ambient lighting certainly enters into this...your room may be brighter than mine.

I'm glad that you finally found a friend that likes similar settings...but please reconsider your choice of words. When you call people 'blind' on a TV forum it's pretty much the same thing as calling them an 'idiot'. I don't intend to get into it with you again (since God knows someone will run to the mods if I get as sarcastic as I can get) but it might do us all a world of good if you choose your words a bit more carefully.

This is an excellent point. The reason why it can be dangerous to talk about noise reduction etc in absolutes is it's almost NEVER an apples to apples comparison without getting into mind numbing detail (are you using the same film? same player? etc).

With a blu-ray disc that was properly transfered from film (Say something that HiDef Digest gives 5 stars) you shouldn't need all the noise reduction on. If there is grain it's because the source had grain (film shows grain!). To me turning noise reduction on under these conditions is like the difference between a real woman and Barbie...Barbie looks great but real women don't look like her!

But if you are watching the worst cable ever than by all means turn all that stuff on if you think it looks better. That's what it is there for. Just remember that nothing is free...in some cases 'enhancers' actually degrade the picture.

Did you guys tinker with White Balance? My whites are not looking perfect with these settings, I can see a big difference in the whites when I turn on the Clear White. I don't want to be doing that, do I? It also seems the Warm2 make the colors a bit more yellowish.

My room is definitely brighter, hence the difference in backlighting. If this tv was not in my living room, I could definitely see setting my backlight to 2 or even 1. I tried CNETs settings right when I got this thing, and for the most part I like it. They freely admit that they perform their tests and calibration in a very dim or dark room, and they've denied requests for normal or day watching calibration settings.

So I guess, most of my settings are based off theirs, just with a bit of a tweak here and there.

I couldn't tell the difference when fooling with the White balance, so I set all to zero and turned off Clear White I believe.

Warm 2, takes some getting used to. It's a preference, but I like it better than cooler Warm1, and definitely better than the rest. But yes, it adds a bit of yellow, which is warmth.

Like I said before, if you start tweeking on the settings too much, you run the risk of over calibrating and making the picture look unnatural or worse.

Tweeking the Picture/Contrast past 95, starts to kill the blacks. It brightesn & whitens a lot more, but it also starts to wash the blacks out. I've found a good threshold to be 95.

Yea I wonder who ran to the mods the last time, I got a point for that.

Ok then I will redact the word "blind" and substitute if for a "mistaken"

Martin, I guess you haven't read all the compliments I received on my pictures, people asking what my settings in the thread and did I mention the private messages I received as well. So unbeknownst to you I have more then "a" friend that likes my similar settings. Sorry bud.

Clear White is out for me since IMO it kills the look of Warm 2 (which I think is most accurate) by 'cooling it off'. CNET suggests a few white balance tweaks in their settings (linked off their review) if you want to try that. But I'm not a white expert by any means....my last TV (SXRD) struggled with uniformity on a white screen so I'm used to it. I almost always tweak for black level and not peak white since I find bad black levels more distracting.
You might also experiment with what the contrast setting does to whites. `

Just tried these. They look pretty flat to me. I'm using a PS3 through HDMI. Testing using various movies like Quantum of Solace, No Country For Old Men, Inception, Batman Begins, Blackhawk Down.

Just remember guys/girl, when you put the screen too dark you lose details in the images you are watching on this panel. I enjoy the details in the clothing of the characters on the screen, I like to see the pours in the skin of people and I like to view areas on the screen. If you do not care about details then lower your back light and contrast and brightness. Also remember I have a Pioneer plasma and a Panasonic AE4000 projector 110" screen. Those two components are already set to more subtle colors, brightness and contrast levels. My Sony is mainly for games and basic TV viewing after work. Please people stop making a big deal about the settings because there are no set settings for this panel, it is based on your own eyes and what you feel comfortable. This amazing panel already looks great from out the box except for some tweaks here and there.

I find it weird for someone to say "oh you finally found someone that like your similar settings", really, last time I checked many people liked them. So please stop with all the hate talk. I just do not understand it.

Settings are a preference in the video and audio hobby. I cannot stress that enough.

Of course its flat because everything is off and low. But that person likes it and they probably watch tv in the dark or very low light with her eyes. You like the colors to pop more. It the truth.

I agree....out of the box cinema scene 1, smashing.

Putting the screen/backlight to dark will not loose details, putting brightness to low or to high, having black corrector on live color on will loose details.

As you say its personal preference, so no need to call anyone blind for liking a particular style of image.

As i have mentioned i have permanently dilated pupils, so bright lights hurt my eyes. Therefore for me i need the backlight lower than most. I actually put a theory out there that maybe the larger pixels on your screen suited the sharp settings more than my screen.

So lets just all enjoy these excellent sets.

Ok I just tried someone else's that look excellent. Only changes I made were for bluray. Turned on motion flow to clear and put the backlight at 9, then bumped color up to 55 for some richer colors. It really looks fantastic now.

It doesn't hurt my feelings that you think my settings are crap. When I have the Motionflow set to clear, I have the backlight set to 7 and brightness set to 50. However, I really can't see any reason for needing sharpness set to 55 for BD/HD content. I'm not sure what your viewing environment is, but when watching movies, I noticed that setting the picture/contrast close to max, my picture starts to wash out some of the awesome blacks this tv produces. I also don't see how you think my settings are flat/bland, when you set your Color settings to less than 50. Maybe all those filters on, changes the playing field, so to speak.

I spent my first couple of weeks trying all sorts of settings and tweeking my own, before finding a good spot to settle. And I'm sure this is the norm for most folks with new tvs.

Our eyes/perception aren't the only things that might be the determining factor for the best settings. In fact, the only thing we do have in common is the same tv. And sometimes that isn't exactly the same from panel to panel or size to size. Good luck on your journey, and congrats.

BTW, I do agree that SD sucks. Most LEDs suck at handling SD content.

I'm not sure what your viewing environment is, but when watching movies, I noticed that setting the picture/contrast close to max, my picture starts to wash out some of the awesome blacks this tv produces.

I spent my first couple of weeks trying all sorts of settings and tweeking my own, before finding a good spot to settle. And I'm sure this is the norm for most folks with new tvs.

Our eyes/perception aren't the only things that might be the determining factor for the best settings. In fact, the only thing we do have in common is the same tv. And sometimes that isn't exactly the same from panel to panel or size to size. Good luck on your journey, and congrats.

BTW, I do agree that SD sucks. Most LEDs suck at handling SD content.

They werent crap, they just looked a little orangish to me, and lacked the contrast that I like. But everyone has different preferences. Those settings I stole from someone else that look fantastic to me probably look terrible to the next guy/girl.
