LCD TV Reviews

Settings

Unit-to-unit sample variations, the viewing environment, and the source might render these settings less than optimum. We strongly recommend that you confirm the results on your sample by using a good setup DVD to get as close as possible to an optimum picture short of a full calibration. Because our sample was so well calibrated out of the box, we will not give the numbers for our final calibration tweaks (White Balance and Custom Color Space) here. The should be checked in a full calibration by trained and properly equipped technician, such as those certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) or THX. Short of that, we recommend leaving the While Balance and Custom Color Space controls in their factory defaults and selecting Warm2 for the Color Tone and Auto for the Color Space, as indicated below.
