I agree the settings are a bit bland and a bit dull if watching in full daylight but I can switch to Optimum mode on a sunny day and the image has more pop. I am used to Pure mode now though as the colours seem natural to me.
I haven't really read the controlcal forums, my set actually says KRP-500P on the top but I still think it's a 500A.
ISF calibration perhaps one day but I want to sort out my image retention problem first.
Yes you are correct, and no there for the european 500m, but they were better than the 1st lot.
Really? D-nice posted settings for a European set?
Sorry my bad it was not d-nice it was av mike and here is the link, why would i lie???
D-nice is on that forum i was a little mixed up, and yes it is a us forum.

That would be the Orbiter.Odd, bbchd logo looks very close to edge of bezel
You havent used Optimum watching SSN for long periods have you as that could be the culprit.
All 500A owners have 500P's, as the P stands for Panel.
We got two separate boxes, one of the panel and one for the media box
That would be the Orbiter.
Certainly covers a few pixels !
Could someone post what the ISF day/night settings are?
^^
For what it's worth I use the Orbitor for gaming but leave it off for video content. The use of the Orbiter certainly seems to divide opinions, but go with whatever works for yourself Rob
Has Piers done the calibration now?
No problem my friend... Actually.. sorry... perhaps I did not pick all this info from the start... I did not realise that Piers had already done your 500A.Sorry about the delay in reply Costas.
I wasn't ignoring you mate... Was just on an enforced holiday shall we say
Yes Piers has Calibrated my 500A on two seperate occasions...
Very very good he is too.
Well if that's what it it is it sure does, looks like it shunts the whole picture, can anyone confirm for definite?
Had my KRP-500A ISF'ed by Gordon yesterday and what a difference (why didn't I get it done years ago!).
Going back to the previous setting I didn't realise how "blue" the standard setting was and how washed out pure was. Now its colourful, crisp, sharp, 3D, ie life like, the gf couldn't believe the difference.
So, I'm very happy with my Kuro still. No signs of any red or other issues, so lets hope I get another few years before I need to upgrade (although interested to see what the Panny ZT60 can do, but not convinced it will be the Kuro killer just yet, happy if it is though...about time!).

I think Pure Mode was overhyped.
Pure on mine was (very) green tinged. But after Piers tweaked mine it looked an awful lot better
