    Picture settings are very much a matter of personal taste. Why use someone else's settings? Would it not be better to find what suits you best on your set in your room?

    A few years ago there was a battle between Plasma and LCD/LED screens so picture quality took on a lot of emphasis especially as the screens got bigger, it actually became an industry in itself. Plasma has gone and now its led/oled/1080p/4k and so on. Its still big business and TV calibration is still done but my eyes have grown older so I ended up happy with my set up.

    There are a lot of constraints when deciding on what is best as it can be influenced by distance from TV, brightness of room, number of windows, glare and the source, sky box, cables, hdmi, scart etc and on it went. So a blu ray dvd should give you the best image and the rest is secondary. But hd tv is quite good now and can also give a fab picture. So you have to experiment and when you are happy stick with it.

    1. The best mode is cinema.

    2. turn off all picture enhancements

    3. contrast is usually mid way

    4. colour is very personal

    5. Brightness is best set with a pattern or go black and white and set brightness to get best possible blacks.

    6. sharpness is also very personal so experiment

    and of course all tv's have different settings. And the picture improves with time. Aslo when you pick an optimum stick with it for a few days.

    NB most important write down the settings or take a screen pic on your phone.

    For the full lowdown go here and have a good viewing, join in and ask for settings as well.

    Finally, a lot of tv's are now good out of the box ie the settings need very little tweaking.
