No – there are no sites with values for your TV.

The adjustments are there because:

- Every TV is slightly different
- The electronics feeding YOUR TV provide different electrical signal levels than mine.

You have to adjust the brightness, contrast, color for each input device.

There are setup DVD’s that work with your DVD player and contain test patterns and tutorials on how to do the basic adjustments. Two of the best are Avia and Digital Video Essentials.

Or you can hire a ISF Calibrationist to come to your home and calibrate your display for you. Prices run from $300-$600 depending on how many external devices you have.

Best picture is all relevant to your eyes and the room the TV is in. Search for your TVs model number at avsforum.com and look for a thread that has configurations in it. Try out a few different ones and see which you like best.

You need to play around with your TVs settings ‘coz you alone can tell what’s best for your eyes.
