I would use CNET's basic settings as starting point and look around this forum and a few sites and mix and match to find your perfect settings (see below). I would recommend WOW to anyone that wants to have a comprehensive explanation of how-to and why calibration helps get the most out of your display. In most cases a calibrated set will have a "dull" look because colors are adjusted to be accurate not over saturated.
You have to like the way your set looks, so adjust until it looks right to you. Here are a few links:

Picture is always based on taste in the end. That said, those CNET settings are spot on for a very natural look. Faces should look as natural as possible. Did you make all the settings CNET has? I can tell you, WOW is not going to be much different than the CNET settings, and worse if you zero out the settings you made. WOW can make the saturation and color balance correct, but many subtle changes that a pro would make are included in the CNET settings. If WOW did have very different settings one would have to be incorrect.
You would be better to not get WOW if CNET is not to your liking, and simply use the CNET settings and then change the saturation or hue to your taste. WOW is simply going to confirm the CNET settings are just about right with any real change being in brightness or contrast. Even then it won't be that great of difference. Why buy WOW then disregard what it says is correct, just do that now with the CNET settings.
WOW works for many of us in conjunction with CNET because all we want to do is tweak it a little based on our room the TV is in, not drastically change it.

So I think I just discovered something interesting.

I use this TV mostly for PC games and movies and with Xbox and ps3. I had all of my inputs labeled as PC because I wanted 0 lag for gaming. But then I thought I read somewhere in this thread that the newest update 4.31.43 made it so the gaming input had 0 lag as well. I also always disliked the fact that the PC input would not allow you to get into the color management menu or to use true motion settings.

So today I tried changing my computer from the PC input type to the gaming input type. I was able to go into the color management settings and set them up with the CNET settings and I was able to use the tru motion settings as well, but I noticed there was lag which I didn't like. This forced me to go back to the PC input label.

The thing is that I'm pretty sure all of the color management settings that I adjusted stayed adjusted even when I went back to the PC input. It might just be in my head but it looks a lot better than it did before.

If I am not mistaken you can do white balance and color management are available in (input) PC and Gaming. I believe it now allows for local dimming adjustment.

How to get my LG LM47 7600 TV to recognise my iphone 4S in the LG?

Wi-Fi Screen Share feature in the NETWORK menu screen is turned to ON

in the SMART SHARE SETTING SHARE MY TV is ON

Save yourself some money and go with the 8600. In my humble opinion.

WOW was $17 last I looked. I think he should try it regardless.

BTW, does LG have a way of storing several settings away in a human-readable file? XML or something, or is that asking for something a little too sensible? And then allowing a person to quickly choose between them?

Yes. The 9600 seems outstanding, but only on paper.....Note: I never did see this set in person, but I have seen an awful lot of disappointment and outright anger among folks regarding it and it's ridiculous pricing. Even if it's $2k right now, spend $1.5K and get the 8600.

We're someday going to see a lawsuit regarding this I think. A TV manufacturer is overstepping their bounds with this idea.

Hi

klopez3709

LG replied to me with this

The TV will not recognise the software interface of your phone. You may need to download a third party application to set up media share on the phone.

I have emailed them back asking them why one of if not the most common phone doesnt work with their TV, which phones do work (LG only?) and that I already have the imedia share app but its using DLNA I think, is slow, takes ages to convert Camera Roll videos or pics and is not the same as Screen Share.

Thats my knowledge anyway thus far

See what they say

Anyone else out there?

I am wondering if its not LGs fault but the iphone, as in Apple and its 'special'software not allowing it without of course going and buying the Apple TV?

Maybe I should try a friends Samsung.

Question

What brand and size HDD to people recommend to use with the LM7600 in its capacity as a DVR to record TV and timeshift?

I was thinking the Black Caviar 1TB

or

Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001

though the USer manual says you can go to 2TB, LG support said only 1 TB..

some ideas here

http://www.bestcovery.com/best-hard-drive

http://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/hdd_value.html

Also what about a SSD? the userguide recomends against it but if it survived for 2 years and meant significantly faster timeshift times I would be happy.

One thing I do find annoying and as yet untested on my LG TV is the variance in devices competency to quickly timeshift, an old LG analogue Tuner/HDD was very quick but other I have take noticeably longer (all measured in seconds of course)

Unless you have found some way to do this, or are not in the U.S., or the latest software now allows, that option is not available on this set in the U.S.

Well I spoke to a helpful LG tech today and he said the problem with LG TVs and iphones not being recognised as a device is IOS

so its Apples fault. They obviously want me to buy another device (Apple TV) to make it work.

More reason for me to change me phone to say a Samsung which though my tv is LG it will communicate fine via ultra fast Direct Wif Fi Screen share.

I told him how slow imedia share app is, how it needs to convert Camera Roll photos and videos and he confirmed DIRECT SCREEN SHARE plays straight away, so its a definite loss not to have it.

Honestly, I don't think it's ever happening. I can only speculate what the hold-up is, but Tampa8 claims his clandestine AIV is smooth, so perhaps it's not the CPU drain issue, but some DRM licensing crap that LG just doesn't want to deal with.

Again though, don't worry about it. The streamers are so incredibly small, and they can tuck behind a TV, and it's /all/ the streamer companies do, and and and and.....

I have had my replacement LM7600 for a week now and am loving it. I have all the missing menu features of my las and no "Real Cinema" issues with flickering film playback. I have near "0" light bleed and with local dimming at low-medium stellar( for edge lit IPS panel) black levels. I will post my settings for the set and after the required 200hrs of use by Geek squad will have pro-calibration. I will post those settings for a night mode since my viewing area is theater dark (with bias light) and 3D.

@ Tampa8

I was reffered to you by the cool tgm1024 with my sync issues on my LM860v combination with LG bluray player, sync issues when watching 3d blurays, hope you could help me.

LM860v ->ARC HMDI ->bluray 3d player. Only when watching 3d blurays, there are sync issues for about -300ms, all other media syncs correct. Now I have enabled AV sync with bypass on the 860v, but to no result. Any idea where this comes from? Both sets are firmware upto date. But when the sound is comming from the TV, also no sync issues.

Thanks for the complement, but wait a minute, now I'm confused. 3D could well by itself cause more lag since it's doing more processing----but your cable configuration I no longer understand. I thought you were saying something else.

Let's go over this from the beginning:

If you are doing this:

BR ----(HDMI)---> LM860V

How is the (lagged) sound getting to the receiver? The ARC can't land on a blu-ray and go anywhere.

If you're are doing this:

BR ---(HDMI)---> Receiver[config'd for ARC] ---(HDMI/ARC)---> TV

Then the TV is supposedly back channeling the sound to the receiver. The BR should not be performing any lag duties (ms delay) at all.

The sound would travel this route:

BR ---> Receiver [straight through the receiver and not its speakers] ---> TV ---> Receiver [and to the speakers]

By the way, your receiver needs to be using the ARC configured HDMI ports so it knows to pass it through on the first pass.
