Below you'll find the settings I found best for viewing the TK 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: Prior to calibration the THX Cinema mode offered the best picture quality, although its grayscale was too red and gamma too light. It doesn't allow adjustment, but happily the Expert controls more than make up the lack. Unfortunately, though, the Expert and THX modes are both subject to TruMotion you can't turn off, resulting in smoothing on motion. As a result I calibrated in Game mode, but if there is enough demand for the Calibration in Expert (if they ever patch this TV) I will supply it.
