new television diplay set-up
 

Just got a new television and was wondering if'n ya'll had any tips for setting up the display. It's just a decent little set, but compared to what i've been using it is awesome. Any time that i mess with the current settings (contrast, bightness, shapness, etc) i usually just make things worse. It seems like there was one movie out there, maybe it was Eraser Head, that actually had a demonstration or something on how to adjust the screen settings. Thanks as always. Late.

We got a new 29-incher not too long ago which came with 3-4 presets. I just hit the one which showed the best display and started tweaking it according to my liking. Once I zeroed in on my preference, I saved it.

I d say its 65% Contrast, 60% Brightness and 50% Color. (Anything above 55% and you can see color spots which blotches the image) You can keep Sharpness at around 70% but some channels might have heightened Sharpness already which messes up the image. Better to let that be. Dont touch Tint either.

For night viewing, go for 5% extra on each of those above. Best viewed with a dim light somewhere behind you, high enough to not cast its shadow on the screen.

Then again, all that shit depends on the TV and its make too.

Grazie. i'll give that a try later today. Ashe.

What sort of TV is it? Because if it is a plasma you should run it in a lower brightness mode (eg "Cinema" mode or similar) for the first 1-200 hours.

It's no plasma but thanks for the concern. It's just a little Toshiba flat-screen. Ashe.
