Calibration


To get the best image possible out of a HDTV, we run through an extensive calibration process, where we look at a number of test screens from the DisplayMate software and tweak the settings to get the best results. The settings that we use are below, and we would recommend these as a starting point for your own use. However, the ideal settings for any HDTV vary depending on the desired result, the type of material being watched and the surrounding lighting setup, so you should go with your own gut for your settings, or ask a professional calibrator to help you out.

 

 

 

Setting Default Calibrated
Picture Mode Movie
Backlight 6 10
Sharpness 20 0
Brightness 45 44
Contrast 95 92
Gamma 0 +3

 

Video Modes


The LN32B360 offers three different video modes: Dynamic, Standard, and Movie. This is a short list, which we appreciate. Some TVs clog their menu with dozens of modes that have very negligible differences between them.

Mode What it Does
Dynamic Selects the picture for increased definition in a bright room.
Standard Selects the picture for the optimum display in a normal environment.
Movie Selects the picture for viewing movies in a dark room.
