Hi,
I just bought the Samsung UN40ES6580F four days ago and I didn't see a calibration thread for it within AVS Forum, so I figured I'd start my first one. I have minimal experience calibrating, so I'm FAR from being an expert. My prior experience is based on my other TV (Samsung LN46A750) four years ago and it's still kicking ass.
So, to start it off I decided to use the same settings from my Samsung LN46A750, copy them to the new TV and work from there. I know, you're not supposed to mix them up because it's a different TV set, but what the hell, I did it anyway.
Considering I don't have a meter or anything like that, I think it looks pretty good, but it could probably use some improvement. I'm still fiddling with it to get that extra "pop" and skin tones right. I'm hoping some more experienced calibrators with equipment can jump on this thread and share some settings.
