Samsung LCD

[miggs29]

Need your help!

I just recently bought a samsung 52in HD LCD and I am having a tough time calibratring. My biggest problem now is with the whites. Everything that has white in it looks extremenly white and bright. I have adjusted the contrast but I still have the problem. Which setting takes care of this? Gamma levels, white (RGB: offset and gain)???? My picture is set to standard and I though I calibrated the TV with a TXH disc optimizer. Everyhing looks good in HD with exception to whites. Teeth, light and other white things look too bright. What can I do? any suggestions on settings. Oh, I also have the picture color scheme to normal and stadard.

I have the same tv as you. Here are the settings I'm using:
Mode: Movie
Contrast: 98
Brightness: 44
Sharpness: 20
Color: 70
Tint: G45/R55
Backlight: 4
Color Tone: Warm1
Digital NR: Off
Auto Motion: Off
Detailed settings are all set to off or factory default if there is a number.

I calibrated mine with the basic SpyderTv, using my PS3 through hdmi.

The whites can be controlled with the Color Tone. I think warm tints it blue and cool tints it red. It's been a while since I've thought about it. A correction will surely be forthcoming if I have it wrong.

Davermcc I like your signature

Signature: " "If Clinton is the answer...it is a stupid question!"

how about "If Barack is the answer ... then there was no question"

How about: If Barack is the answer...it was rhetorical!

I had my Samsung professionally calibrated and sometimes the contrast looks a little drastic to me. Blacks are REALLY black and whites are REALLY white. I guess that's what it's supposed to look like.

How about, "If McCain is the answer........................... What was the question again?"

Got it backwards. Cool is bluish and Warm is reddish.

Got it backwards.

I am not surprised.

Thanks a lot. I will try those settings to see if the picture improves.

Just make sure to write down your current settings in case you need to change them back. Let us know how it works out for you.
