Thanks for this.

Quick question.

Should sharpness be set to 0 (zero) ?

Or is this a typo?
 
Gamma at -2 is different to the h6400 as it was set at 0.
 
After using my tv for weeks now, I'd just like to thank Mark (and Unisoft) for their recommended settings. As this was my first LCD/LED tv, I'm pretty sure I'd have ended up sticking with the 'standard' settings or else been all at sea with trying to make sense of all the adjustments possible. As it is I feel I've ended up with something far better than I ever expected, with a much more natural image than I would have previously given credit to with an LED tv.

cheers guys.

Hi, thanks for the calibration settings. You mention improving the picture further using the 10 point scale, just wondered why these settings weren't included? Thanks again.
 
Thanks. Just set my 40 inch with this. Picture looks outstanding in Blu Ray sourced material. I have not seen a contrast level so good on on LCD until now

I would echo that sharpness being set to the lowest at 0 is not recommended though. I can definatley see some fuzz at the level. Sticking with the out of the box setting of 20 (or even marginally higher) is much better

Thanks for these settings, they work very well on my UE48H6670. However I use them on Standard picture mode saving a further 33.33% energy with near identicle picture to movie mode. I find MPEG NOISE FILTER on Auto works well, especially SD broadcasts. Contrast 82 is a match for 92 in movie, Backlight 8 are optimum in Standard mode with warm 1, and default white balance prefered. Brightness can be upto 47 and Colour down to 47.
Sharpness no more than 10 is the best compromise. Screen fit works on some tuner channels while others default to Auto wide 4:3.
Thanks again.

I own this tv (55") and have applied these settings. It's definitely better than what I achieved using the DVE calibration blu-ray. So thanks!

One question though, are the manufacturer's different picture options (ie standard, dynamic, movie etc) inherently different from each other in some non user alterable way, or are they just predefined configurations of the standard parameters - i.e. If I set them all to the settings above, would they then all look the same?

Reason I ask is because I use the TV in what can be a very bright room during the day. At present I have movie set up for night time viewing, standard for daytime, and I really need a 3rd option for bright sunlight, but obviously I want all 3 to be the same aside from brightness and contrast settings (and I'll need to use dynamic contrast enhancement for the bright day one).

Thanks.
