Note this setting is formulated with the gamer in mind this is for minimal input lag (the time it takes for your button press to be displayed) and best looking picture. Also using standard HDMI cables. I used Battlefield 3 for my reference; what I got was smooth game play, and great picture. This was done in a DARK room adjust your brightness accordingly. Also In game mode certain options wont be available and NOT mentioned here. I've used some knowledge from other Users such as Katzmaier and Dean10011111 to get a great base picture. Unfortunately it was for non-game mode. In my calibration I will be using this. Also I have tried these settings without game mode on and the lag was horrible. Furthermore Searching on-line I have yet to find a source for this information on my model so this is what inspired me to do this. Enjoy!!

Well there you have it. This is just the start of something great! Please try these settings and tell me what you think. Before you think, note there are some techniques I used when adjusting that will hopefully arise as questions or in another post I'll come up with later. This has taken over 5+hours to complete and lifelong gaming experience. Looking forward to some feedback!
