When you first switch it on it will look dreadful! Picture mode 1 has contrast set to 100% - go straight to picture mode 3 and adjust from there.
I'll try and remember to note my settings down tonight.

i've had the same set for a couple of weeks now. These are the settings i've settled on

Contrast 64
Brightness 50
Colour 32
Tint 0
Sharpness 0
Scan mode ‘natural’
DNR ‘auto’
Black stretch ‘off’
Colour temp ‘cool’

To be honest i think all those settings are down to personal choice. I chose them for viewing through RGB on skydigital (inc BBC1, ITV etc), with skybox set to 'low' contrast. These picture settings also suit my DVD player (again through RGB).

I wont spout the "proud owner" waffle , but just to say that i'm totally happy with the set.
