HDTV picture settings forum: Sony KDL-52V5100 picture settings

Thank you for the suggested picture settings.

Please include the firmware revision in your testing reviews if that information is available without going into the service menus (as it is on this SONY). Without knowing the firmware revision, there is no way to know if we are on the same 'page'. For example, SONY has made changes to the default RGB gain settings for white balance in more recent firmware revisions for this TV.

Im wondering that too

I tweaked the Picture settings because Navy Blue had a slight bias toward purple. Since I mostly watch soccer games, I used team colors to calibrate. I used Brazil's yellow and blue, Venezuela's burgundy, Barcelona's blue and pomegranate red, Barcelona's aqua (away jersey), Japan's navy blue, and Argentina's sky blue. The green of the grass will vary from game to game depending on the field's condition, but it looks realistic.
