Tweaking the picture settings pays dividends


I bought this TV to replace a 40 "Sony which was reassigned to duty in Wii/PS3 a playroom for my son.

Unboxing, stand construction, the location of the TV and put in the connections took a few minutes.

For the first day or so I was very unhappy with the quality of the image - the colors seemed washed out. I use a HTPC attached to the TV, so I ran the Windows color grading, which guides you step by step through adjusting color brightness, contrast and color, and quality of image improved massively. Then I loaded a DVD with THX (the image of George Lucas and audio enhancement) and used the THX video adjustment process go through a process similar to what I did with the calibration Windows colors.

With these two towers to refine the image of the LG TV is brilliant. As I'm running a PC through the TV I often use it as a monitor with a wireless keyboard - with the Sony TV I used to struggle to get out the text - the LG, it is very clear and pleasing to the eye.

HD video is outstanding on the screen. I think it's something to do with blacks having properly configured. The images have a clarity and depth that sometimes feels like 3D.

Edit - I first said, "My only complaint with this TV reality is that the viewing angle is not as good as the old Sony colors begin to wash if you sit more than about 45 degrees on each side of the center line (90 in total degree. angle). They do not wash heavily at this level, but it is noticeable. ".
However - I found that playing with the settings gave her a clearer, brighter image that resists viewing angles much larger.
My settings are:
Energy saving: Off
Backlight: 67
Contrast: 87
Brightness: 53
Sharpness H: 50
Sharpness V: 50
Color: 50
Tint: 0

In expert settings submenu:
Black level: High
Gamut: Wide
Color Temperature: Cool

This, for me, gives a truly excellent.
