Below you'll find the settings we found best for viewing the Vizio VF551XVT in a dark room via the HDMI input with a 1080p, film-based source. Your settings may vary depending on source, room conditions, and personal preference. Check out the Picture settings and calibration FAQ for more information.

**The Vizio's variable backlight might cause these settings to appear too dim for some viewers, even in a darkened room. If that's the case you can increase the backlight control at the expense of brighter black levels and increased incidence of blooming. We don't recommend going higher than 55 however.
