Below you'll find the settings I found best for viewing the LG 32CS460 in a dim room via the HDMI input. Your settings may vary depending on source, room conditions, and personal preference. Check out the Picture settings and calibration FAQ for more information.

Calibration notes: Even in movie mode, the LG was way too blue (10,000K) and as a result I had to max out the grey scale to introduce some normal temperatures (6400K). This is the second, updated calibration of the CS460 performed in early 2013 which has combatted some, though not all, of the problems we saw with the television.
The biggest change was a less aggressive gamma setting leading to less green response in shadowed areas.
