Samsung 50" Plasma Settings

TommyT

Just got a new Samsung plasma screen and although I have its working fine the picture seems a bit bright. I remember reading somewhere lately that there are websites that deal with specific settings i.e. brightness/contrast etc and was wondering if someone could reccomend such a site. I know how to do it manually, just cant find the right balance.

First things first is take it off dynamic mode or whatever Samsung call the ultra high contrast mode. Change it to normal or cinema mode with 50% contrast, brightness.

They will also recommend using a break-in DVD for first 100hrs. I used it on my Panasonic and it worked a treat. It can be downloaded here and burned using Nero.
