From hdtvorg.co.uk:
The Samsung LE32R87BDX like the rest of the R87 range is a real work of art. Glossy black finish, elegant bevelled undercarriage with hidden speakers and swivel stand will create an impressive centrepiece for any living space.
The R87 range from Samsung forms the companies new base range LCD TVs, but as such, connectivity and features will not be found wanting. Three HDMIs are accompanied by 2 Scarts, component video, pc input and an Integrated Digital TV tuner (IDTV) for Freeview.

Below you will find a collection of settings for your Samsung R8 LCD Television. Remember, These settings are just a guide, a starting point to adjust to your own liking. Many people prefer to have high contrast images with little to no shadow detail. The settings below have been created to try to capture natural colours and show the full range of detail while maintaining good black/white detail.
Updated Settings: Tuesday 1st January 2008:
- Updated: Xbox 360 via HDMI (Now using 720p/Just Scan combo)
- Added: Curly99's Freeview settings.
- Added: Xbox 360 Elite via HDMI settings.
- Updated: Virgin Media (not V+) via RGB SCART.
- Added: Nintendo Wii via Component.
Special Note for PC Users: When using a PC, you can use a DVI to HDMI convertor on HDMI Port 2 and have 1360x768 output. This means you can do 1:1 Pixel Mapping via a 100% digital signal, this is the best signal this TV can ever recieve and display, much better than using VGA.
---
Note for Sky/Virgin TV Users: If you want to veiw 4:3 channels unstretched, then I recommend you use the following picture size settings on the input.
Size: Auto Wide
Screen Mode: 4:3

Most of the settings below where calibrated using Calibration Images found here. You can view them via media sharing on your various devices over network or USB stick.

Service Menu Options:
Ok, the first stop is the Service menu. Now alot of people will tell you not to enter this menu as it will void your warranty, so this is your call. I personally have found that disabling Dynamic Dimming stopped a banding issue I was having, most noticeable in dark scenes. It also stopped the backlight changing levels too slowly when moving from dark scenes to bright scenes. Backup any settings you change, incase you need to restore them.. Be very careful many people press things without realising what they are doing and it is possible to ruin your TVs settings.
To enter the Service Menu, key in the following button combination in sequential order, not holding them down, tap one, then a very short pause, then the next, while the TV is in standby:
INFO + MENU + MUTE + POWER
Now adjust the following settings ONLY in the Adjust menu option:
Dynamic Dimming: Off (This stops the screen flickering when it changes from dark to light scenes quickly and vice versa)
Dynamic Contrast: On
Dynamic CE: Off
Press Power to Exit and save settings, leave it a second and power back on.

VGA Input - Xbox 360 - High Definition - 1:1 Pixel Map @1360x768:
==================================================
For Xbox 360, in the May 2007 Dash Update, they introduced a new setting called "Reference Levels", this is essentially a Gamma fix for the washed out VGA. It helps alot that Microsoft have introduced the fix at their end, helps us with calibration at this end.
_______________________________________________________
Auto Adjusting Samsung R8 to Xbox 360 at 1360x768p via VGA.
Firstly you need the following calibration image:
1: Jpg_image
2: Rar_file
3: Zip_file
This image is exactly 1360x768 and contains the necessary curves and lines for your R8 Samsung to auto adjust to, to give a sharp, clear picture.
The easiest way to view the image on your TV is to put it on a USB Stick or Hard-drive or similar device and then plug that into the USB port on the front of your Xbox 360 and then view the image from the picture viewer, selecting the USB device and navigating to the correct location.
You can also share over a network, There is a brilliant guide here. When you have added your image to your library within WMP11 or Zune Software, browse to the image via the COMPUTER share on your Xbox 360.
Auto Adjusting.
Now with the image on screen, make sure any xbox 360 GUI features have faded out, this includes any info panels across the top or the control panel. On your TV remote, press MENU, then go down to the 4th option and choose PC. Here there will be an option to auto adjust. When you press Auto Adjust your screen will go black for a few seconds, do not press anything until it comes back on.
You should now have the sharpest possible image from 360 you can get with this TV. Enjoy.

I found that Black adjust and HDMI black level made it too dark - there was no depth to the blacks. As for the PC, there is as far as I know, no image processing being applied to the video signal. The video card is a Nvidia 6200 shoving it all out over DVI.

I found that Black adjust and HDMI black level made it too dark - there was no depth to the blacks. As for the PC, there is as far as I know, no image processing being applied to the video signal. The video card is a Nvidia 6200 shoving it all out over DVI.
Thanks to 16to9
