Albin February 9, 2010 at 11:53 am: here is a fantastic tip:
have a look at your DVD collection and look for the ones with a wee "THX opimizer" logo on it.
put it in your spiner and go on the thx thing, follow the instruction and you will have the best result, for no money.
and of course, use a hdmi for your dvd if you can and dont have one already.

You can also find a recent Pixar movie (WallE, Cars, Up) and the setup menu has test patterns and instructions on how to set the brightness, color and contrast.

This only works for the DVD player. You then may have to mimic the picture image for normal TV watching. (Many better televisions have separate settings per input.)
