Samsung PN59D8000 3D Plasma HDTV Settings

Settings

Unit-to-unit sample variations, the viewing environment, and the source might render these recommendations less than optimum. They are provided only as a potentially useful starting place.

The settings here that are most likely to translate reliably from one sample to another are those involving specific features with only a few setting options, such as Color Space, Gamma, and Noise Reduction. The ones most likely to be subject to sample variations are video controls offering a wide range of settings. This will be particularly true for color temperature (gray scale) and color management adjustments (where available).

While experimenting with the user menus controls can do no damage and can easily be reset, we do not provide settings for service menu adjustments. Random alterations of such controls without detailed knowledge of what they do may corrupt a set's firmware. This will likely require extensive in-shop repairs that are not covered under the warrantee.

We strongly recommend that you find the optimum basic video settings for your sample by using one of the many display setup DVDs that are available, such as Digital Video Essentials (DVD) or DVE HD Basics (Blu-ray). A full calibration, particularly of the gray scale and color gamut, is best left to a trained and properly equipped technician such as those certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) or THX.

In the magazine it says to go the the website to see the picture settings used in this review. I'm not seeing the settings posted anywhere. Am I missing something? Please post the settings. Thanks.

I am a Home Theater subscriber. I am looking for the review's calibration settings for the Samsung PN59D8000. Please post the settings. Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased the Samsung PN59D8000 and noticed an annoying level of plasma buzzing especially evident at low volume levels when sitting directly in front of the display at a distance of 12 feet. I've read that other users have noticed this buzzing but was it apparent during the review of this unit?
