Since the original XXZ4100 thread seems to be devolving into a Samsung vs. Sony party, I thought that a calibration thread might be useful. Let's hear from Z owners as they experiment with their settings.
I still haven't completely locked in my own settings but I did take out my DVE DVD yesterday and fooled around a bit with the black settings primarily so these are starting points for cable.
Input: HDMI 1 (HD DVDR)
Setting: Cinema
Backlight: 4
Picture: 85
Brightness: 48 (per the pluge pattern, 48-50 nailed the blacks)
Color: 55
Hue: R1
Temp: Warm 1
Sharpness: 10
Noise Reduction: Off
MPEG Noise Red: Off
Black Corr: Off
ACE: Low (seems to lessen the auto-dim a bit but I'm not sure)
Gamma: Off
Clear White: Off
Color Space: Standard
Cinemotion: Auto 1
Motion Enhance: Standard
Power Saving: Low
Auto Sensor: Off
