Calibration Notes | Technical Ratings

Lighting Modes adjust the LCD backlight level. The Dark Room setting produced the darkest blacks. Whites were nicely extended with the Contrast control in default position; going even a few clicks above this point caused clipping. Set's high-frequency response was superb via HDMI, with hardly any rolloff apparent at 37MHz; component response was solid to 18.75MHz, but noticeably rolled off at 37 MHz. User controls were extremely close to ideal right out of the box. Just lower Brightness a single click, select the Dark Room Lighting Mode, and drop the Sharpness level all the way down, and you're in business.
