You may want to take a look at the picture settings. Normally, out of the box they are usually put in a "vivid" mode which is intended for sales floors. When I set up a new display, one of the first things I adjust is that. Usually there's a "standard" or "custom" selection which is a "flat" starting point. Normally the sharpness is up pretty high. This is actually artificial detailing that goes on, so you want it pretty low, not to exceed 20% I would say. A high def source is best viewed un-altered. Color seems to be right on the money right in the middle so you may not have to adjust it at all. Same goes for hue. Mostly you will be adjusting things like "picture", "contrast" "brightness" & "sharpness". Your Incredibles DVD is a good reference to go by, as are channels like Discovery HD Theater, the Olympics and a local news broadcast if presented in HD more than 720p. My buddy who can copy DVD's for me has been camping for the last month, so I will try to copy the set up DVD that I use. A funny one that gets the job done but the chick narrating it and giving the instruction is hard to listen to. One of the top engineers out here uses it and he says it gets him 95% there, so that works for me as well. Also know that they "break-in" and probably will need some slight adjustment after about 2-3 months of viewing. Have fun with it! Looking good brother!
