Setting that work for me (try it, makes huge difference for picture quality)

Contrast 85
Brightness 40
Color 60
Tint 0
Sharpness 37
Backlight 80
Black level high

cinime 3.2 mode - off
aspect 16.9
xd - manual
xd contrast - off
xd color - off
xd noise - on
color temp - user (all are set on 0)

Pros:
1. Picture quality
2. Fast response time and no blurry or image break on fast moving pictures (for most of the HD channels please read cons for more)
3. Value for money
4. Features rich
5. Lot of connections

Cons:
1. However some channels look blurry and picture breaks up on fast moving images (I think that has more to do with my cable connection, I am trying Direct TV soon, will keep you posted on how it goes).
2. Very limited documentation in the manual provided, have to print out the PDF from the CD
3. Model is relatively new so no experience on any long tems problems.
4. Out of the box setting are too bright (dynamic mode) had to adjust to get the best picture.

1 - vertical lines down the right side of the panel.
2 - sound would turn off when switching thru some channels
3 - same as above
4 - I'm going back to Best Buy over the next two weeks to do another return.

I chalked this up to bad luck the first two times. I'm convinced now LG puts out crap, at least in the South Florida/Best Buy region. This will now be my fourth TV.
