I had to do a lot of tweaking and I finally got something that looked pretty nice, but these settings are sort of extreme. Just wondering if these could possibly right or if I must have screwed up somewhere. I believe it might have something to do with using Samsung glasses. When they are turned on, they can easily double as sunglasses.

Custom Mode

Contrast - 100
Brightness - 50
Color - 50
Tint - 0
Sharpness - 0
Color Temp. - Normal

Pro Settings

Gamma - 1.8
Backlight - High
AGC - 15
nothing wrong with that if you're happy with it! I find the Panasonic glasses even darker than the sammies. They're both dark. I like a pitch black room for 3d. At first it will seem dark but it gets better as your eyes adjust. After the 3d movie prepare to singe your retinas when back to 2d :-P

As far as pop goes, try HDmaster's wide color settings (just go back a few pages) I'm not sure who's settings you have listed; most of the numbers are usually similar. The low red and low green seem pretty negative ?

I got them right here:

Thanks. They just seemed like a lot, but even with those pro settings it still has correct blacks and shadow detail. I could have gotten used to the darker settings, but it was basically like watching Standard. With the ABL, I can't quite get it as bright as I want, but it's pretty darn close.

Is this not the best TV ever??? I love this tv!! If it were a woman I'd...........
post #7183 of 9028
It's the best TV I've ever owned or seen. I have a lot of family and friends with the higher end led lcds and the gt50 is so lifelike/realistic, 3d-like in 2d, and so silky smooth with motion.
post #7184 of 9028
htwaits...it is a service of BB,since i bought the tv there..its a free service if you've bought more than 2500 in a year from them..now im nervous and hoping whoever comes out knows wtf they're doin. I may look for a private recommended calibrater to do it if not really stunned how good it is. any ideas in the North Bay area?

Remind me to use gloves if I ever use your remote biggrin.gif. But I agree as I'm very happy with my 60GT50. I watched Warhorse on BR the other night and the PQ was excellent. It is nice to see the black bars top and bottom that are actually black and not dark gray smile.gif.

Now the question. During the green ratings screen, I saw saw the line bleed. very noticable. I guess everyone gets that to some degree?
However I noticed something else. Whenever the screen was dark and there was a concentrated point of light (the moon, head lights or in the example below, a spot light) I get a BLUE line running across the screen, radiating horizontally from the light source. Is this line bleed? Is this acceptable or is something wrong? It's pretty distracting

bumping this because im getting this also frown.gif. does anyone else get this?

Well I am on day 3 off enjoying my new gt50. What an awesome picture!

I have a couple of quick questions:
1.) Motion shots like sports seem to look great, but motion or camera pans on non-action shows (just saw it on Friends and Cooking Channel) can be choppy. Is there a setting for this? I have my custom picture mode set like HD_Master suggested for Day on page 235 or so.

2.) HD_Master talks about Day, Night etc. I don't see different settings for Day and Night. Am I missing something?

3.) Question 1 and 2 may be answered by this one. Where do I find these settings?
Quote:
Aspect Adjustments...

Screen Format: FULL
HD Size: Size 2

HDMI Settings...

All defaults

Advanced Picture...

Block NR: Off (if available)
Mosquito Noise: Off
Motion Smoother: Off
1080p Pure Direct: On (if available)
Black Level: Light
3:2 Pulldown: Auto (if available)
24p Direct In: 48Hz

Thanks!

Bond, I have the same problem you have. Here is a solution provided by Google.

Urban Dictionary

ROFL is an internet accronmym for Rolling On Floor Laughing, and like all things internet it has adapted to nerd culture ...

Would I be better off with a 50" GT (for $1450 Canadian) or wait for the 50 ST60?

For roughly the same price? I would definitely get the GT.

John,

There is no setting for Night or Day calibration settings. If you read through HD-Masters post with all of his settings he mentions using an HDMI splitter. So he has one output (from his AVR?) to a spiltter which then goes to the 1,2 ,3 and 4 HDMI inputs of his GT50 (I believe). So then you can have different calibration settings for each HDMI input of the GT50. In other words you could have the Night settings on HDMI 1, Day settings on HDMI 2 and so on. I'm only using HD's Night and Day settings for now. My Denon 4311 AVR has two HDMI outputs (both always active) with Output 1 going to HDMI 1 for night settings. For the Day settings I use HDMI Output 2 which is connected to HDMI 3 input of the 60GT50. I have a Harmony 688 remote that enables me to switch between HDMI Input 1 or 3 on the 60GT50 depending on the time of day. Hope my explanation was somewhat helpful smile.gif.

In my case, I can clearly hear a pulsing buzz when a scene alternates between light and dark, with sound on. I had a quiet talking scene with two characters walking down a hall with lights above them every few steps. So it would go dark, then they'd be lit by the overhead light, dark, then light, etc. The buzzing would pulse with that and could be heard over the dialogue.

I would say if you can hear buzzing while watching what you normally watch with the sound at a level you typically listen, it's a problem. Anything else and I wouldn't worry about it. Had mine not been so blatant, I would have been okay with it. I mean my cable box and PS3 both make a significant amount of noise so it's not like my room is dead quiet to begin with but the buzzing can be heard over that. I wouldn't even have a problem if the set just buzzed independent of brightness, it eventually becomes white noise when watching something that is constantly bright, like the court of the Duke-Miami game on right now. But it is the alternating between light and dark that's really a killer.

Only you can be the judge though, if it doesn't bother you during regular content and you're happy with everything else, I wouldn't worry about it because who knows the problems a replacement could have.

Not a problem with your TV. Do a Google search on lens flares in movies.

Thanks guys! It is an awesome tv.........just asking....the THX settings and HD Masters setting are the way to go? They are great, I just want to see options, the ones I am using, (from the earlier post), are close, just a little "colder" maybe.....slightly more popish.........imho......thanks again

Last I checked. D-Nice doesn't have any picture settings for the GT50. A bit curious as to what settings you thought you've put in.
