all of the settings are back to what i believe is factory default, i shouldnt need to change any of it should i?!

Answer by Adam Mullen
Excellent question. Personally, i brought a Samsung hdtv for making a bet and such and the first thing i did was turn the colour down. I know there different makes and such but the best thing to do with a factory set default tv is turn the colour down as soon as. Apparently it adds a few more being to the tv’s life and stops it from burning out due to the intense use of colours.etc. Hey, its up to you. You either want a bright and intense colourful show and have to fork out for another one sooner rather than later. Or, turn it down just a bit and add a few more being to its life also saving money in the process. Thats my tip for ya anyways.

Either way delight in your new TV. I’m sure you will. HD all the way.

It sounds to me like you were not given a satisfactory explanation of the complete show calibration process, which wouldn't really bolt from the blue me coming from a "huge-box" retailer such as Best Buy.

A professional show calibration includes a precision instrument-based calibration of the white-point crosswise the show's entire gray-extent, setting the Inverse Gamma Correction to its proper value, AND optimization of the user-reachable picture settings, i.e., the black level (Brightness), peak white level (Contrast or Picture), chroma saturation (Color), chroma hue (Tint), and luma signal frequency peaking (Sharpness) settings, among others. The entire process is performed by the highest routine, color-accurate picture mode of the show device. If you wish to delight in the full benefit of your professional show calibration and optimization you must use the picture mode for which your TV was calibrated.

As I stated earlier, the user-reachable picture controls should have been optimized for your viewing environment. (It is possible with some displays, depending on the specific brand and model, to optimize the picture controls separately for both day and night viewing situation and store them in the show's non-volatile memory.) That said you are free to alter the picture controls to your liking though you really defeat much of the function of a professional show calibration at that point.

If your show is (re)set to factory default then that is usually an indication that you are NOT now by the proper 'calibrated' picture mode…or that you somehow inadvertently reset the settings on your show thereby erasing the 'calibrated' settings. In either case you should call the Best Buy service department that serviced your show to find out which picture mode was calibrated or read through the pre-post show calibration report that they should have provided you.

Goodbye, Hello and WTF?
Last week was a busy week that seemed to be filled with crazy people — some in a excellent way, most not so much. The most annoying tale was that Cisco is shutting down its half-billion-dollar Flip acquisition after screwing it up. On a positive note, Microsoft surprised us at its MIX conference with Windows 8 running on ARM and an IE 10 prototype on steroids.
