hey guys wondering if anyone can help. I've just bought the Sony 55x8509c and I've tampered about with picture settings from all over the net. does anyone have the settings so I can calibrate it properly. the pic just seems to be slightly off, uneasy to the eye. I know there is different preferences and can make a difference with light in room etc but just an around good picture would be great. thanks
