Calibration
 Since HDTVs rarely come out of the box perfectly calibrated, we tinker with their settings ourselves before we run our tests on them. This way we know we're testing each TV at its best. To calibrate things we use DisplayMate and a photospectrometer. Below we've listed all the stuff we've changed around. If it isn't listed below, we didn't change it.

Using this setup, we were able to get a color temperature of 6904, while maintaining the best combination of high contrast and good color representation.
Video Modes
The 37LH55 has seven video modes, two of which are expert modes. The expert modes give you more control over different picture settings. The preset modes don't have a ready description, either on the TV or on the manual, but have fairly common names: vivid, standard, cinema, sport, and game.
