Great Picture after Calibration
Purchased this TV through amazon because of the price. I could not afford an LED this size so I went with the Plasma. The Plasma is not as bright as LED but bright enough for my needs. I am not disappointed with my choice. I calibrated using these setting I got from a friend for a different LG Plasma. I tweaked it to satisfy my eyes. You may need to do the same but I think these settings are a good starting point. Don't forget to make sure your cable box is properly set for HD viewing. Enjoy. Settings used: Aspect Ratio: Just Scan Energy Saving: Off Picture Mode: Expert 1 Contrast: 90 Brightness:60 H. Sharp: 30 V. Sharp: 35 Color: 48 Tint: 0 Now select Expert control Dynamic Contrast: Off Noise Reduction: Off Gamma: Medium Black Level: Low Film Mode: On or off (I didn't see a difference between the two while watching cable TV) Color Gamut: Wide Edge Enhancement: On Color Temp: Medium Method: 20 Point IRE Pattern: Outer Select an IRE value i.e. 0 now move down and change the color settings. Go back up and select the next IRE value i.e. 5 then move down and change the color settings. Do this for all the IRE values. Yeah its a long and painful process but worth it. r=red g=green b=blue. 0 ire r=-5 g=0 c=0 5 ire r=0 g=0 b=0 10 ire r=-16 g=0 b=-36 15 ire r=0 g=0 b=0 20 ire r=-17 g=-13 b=-34 25 ire r=-9 g=0 b=-37 30 ire r=-6 g=9 b=-29 35 ire r=0 g=0 b=-13 40 ire r=9 g=17 b=-25 45 ire r=0 g=0 b=0 50 ire r=-10 g=0 b=-42 55 ire r=-18 g=0 b=-10 60 ire r=15 g=20 b=-37 65 ire r=-18 g=0 b=0 70 ire r=5 g=30 b=-31 75 ire r=-9 g=9 b=-29 80 ire r=-6 g=19 b=-50 85 ire r=0 g=0 b=0 90 ire r=-8 g=16 b=-9 95 ire r=0 g=0 b=0 100ire r=-5 g=0 b=-24 Now go to the COLOR management: Red Saturation 0 Red tint -1 Green Saturation -6 Green tint 0 Blue Saturation -8 Blue tint 0 Yellow Saturation -5 Yellow tint 11 Cyan saturation -2 Cyan tint -2 Magenta Saturation -3 Magenta tint -10 Now run the Picture wizard and adjust each setting in the picture wizard to your liking.
