Post Optimum HDMI settings for XBOX 360 Elite on Samsung TV?

Hi,
I have been looking everywhere for the perfect settings for my xbox 360. I have just had to do a mandatory upgrade to an elite (previous console got RROD) so now i have a HDMI unlike before. There are quite a few places that say things but everywhere says "Home Theater PC" must be enabled on the TV to get a truly great picture and for some reason i just can't seem to make it un-grey. Set HDMI name to PC, Xbox is on expanded, HDMI Black is on Normal but nothing.

If anyone can help i would be truly greatful.

Thanks.

Oh btw my TV is a Samsung LE19R86BD
