Not sure if anyone has posted their settings yet, but you'll have better luck asking your question at the AVS forum. There is a 5-page (so far) thread on this TV... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1211005

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

Here are some settings I found that might help you out: Main Picture Menu: - Picture Mode: Movie (set this before any of the rest!!) - Backlight: 10-20 (based on preference and ambient light in room, you can change this at the end to your liking) - Contrast: 100 - Brightness: 52 - Sharpness: 60 - Color: 51 - Tint: G50/R50 (center) - Picture Size: Screen Fit (otherwise you could very well lose some pixels) Advanced Settings: - Dynamic Contrast: Off - Black Tone: off - Flesh Tone: -5 - RGB Only Mode: Off - Color Space: Custom --- Red: 61, 0, 0 --- Green: 0, 50, 0 --- Blue: 0, 8, 54 --- Yelow: 89, 77, 0 --- Cyan: 0, 50, 50 --- Magenta: 53, 0, 50 - White Balanace: --- R-Offset: 23 --- G-Offset: 18 --- B-Offset: 22 --- R-Gain: 22 --- G-Gain: 31 --- B-Gain: 26 - Gamma: +1 - 10p White Balance: Off (trust me, not worth it!! Unless you have a professional calibration tool) Picture options: - Color Tone: Warm2 - Digital Clean View: Auto - MPEG Noice Filter: Off (removes details from many scenes) - HDMI Black Level: Low - Auto Motion Plus: Standard - Cinema Black: Medium

I have purchased both P65ZT60(brand new) and P65VT60(2000+ hrs display model) and applied calibration settings available on the internet to both of them(identical settings). End results were identical images on both tv. I custom tweaked it a little on contrast and brightness to give it inky black and extra kick. But you should be fine copying professional calibrations available on the internet.(or use the one I just posted on the Amazon).

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

I actually picked this up from CNET and it seems to work. First, use your TV's "warm" color temperature setting for the input that you want to adjust. Next, start with the "standard" picture settings and adjust the following items to these listed numbers: Contrast - 78; Back Light - 75; Dynalight - ON;Brightness - 37; Color - 46; Tint - 0; Sharpness - 48. These numbers work well, and had been adjusted by the original writer to go with HD-DVD Digital Video Essentials. This, to me, would be an excellent way to start, as the colors are rich and work well in both decently lit (not total daylight) and darkened rooms. Good luck.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

I purchased the VIZIOX VT323SV32-Inch Full HD on July 27th. Several times over the past 2 months, while I am watching a program, the screen goes black, the Vizio logo flashes on and off orange for about 30 second, the logo goes white again, and the program pops back on. At first I thought it was a firmware update, but after the 3rd time I contacted Vizio Support. It was acknowledged this is a "known" problem they are working on. Does the comparable Sony discussed in this blog have any similar problems? I don't know if Amazon will take the Vizio back as it is over the 30 days.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

Go to avsforum.com and search for this model. There is a post in the hundreds of posts with a list of everyones settings. Cinema seems best, but offhand I'm not sure of the other settings (picture, sharpness, etc.)
