Backlight all the way up, contrast all the way up, brightness 50%. This will of course lead to your backlight burning out faster, but they are decently cheap to replace.
BTW - for all the Pioneer talk. They stopped producing their own panels earlier this year, and are not in a joint venture with somebody else (essentially outsourcing). I have not seen any of their panels since the move, and am curious as to how it has effected their performance. |
btw, any reason why backlight and and contrast should be completely up? i am just wondering is this a standard in lcd calibration or just your taste in those settings. |

So that you have the brightest picture (most light). Then contrast, so that the diff between the darks and brights is as noticeable as possible. IMO this is how most LCD's look best. BUT, you should change them depending on what you are watching.
If you are watching a movie, in a dark room, no need to have all that stuff jacked. Thats why for Samsungs, the 'movie' mode does not look as good as dynamic in most settings, but is fine for a dark room. |

they dont make tvs anymore. they were going to buy the panels from panasonic and continue using their own processing, but they binned that idea and exited the tv game altogether.
i cant stress enough what a bad idea it would be to turn your backlight and contrast all the way up and your brightness all the way down.
video is a standard, and there is a certain level your contrast and brightness should be at in order to faithfully reproduce the image on your screen. get a THX mastered DVD (star wars or terminator 2 or something) and run the THX optimizer..that will help you set your brightness and contrast to where they should be |

Not all the way down, just to 50%.
From what I have seen, the most vivid colours come from jacking up the contrast and backlight (maybe not 100% for the backlight, but very high).

No matter what type of display you have, you always have to adjust it for your viewing room, preference, and the material you are viewing. Its not in magic. |

| Yeah, I love my bright vibrant colours. I watch a lot of cartoons. But, I am a knob twiddler, so I also change settings a lot to match what I am watching. |

Seriously people, get on the ball here.
In fact, why aren't music videos in HD. I would watch that all day like I used to watch Much Music. |
