Anyone?
Hi all, I recently picked up a Sony KDL-32EX400 TV and was wondering if anyone was willing to share there calibration settings. It would be appreciated if a few people would. Thanks.

I don't own the unit, but I can tell you there is no real "magic" calibration. Unless your a super perfectionist or plan on doing artsy stuff(which I doubt on a tv like this) your best bet is to calibrate by eye. Just tweak around till you find something that works. Its the free way, and works for most.
Most sets have a movie mode which imo is usually the best looking. Or at least it is on my larger tv set.
Another option is to go to best buy and get a cheap calibration service. I never used them and only heard of it recently but I bet they use the proper tools to get the job done. There are other calibrators out there, so you can shop around for price.
Another thing to note is a little over saturation is an enjoyable feature to your eyes. A fully calibrated screen might look a little dull in comparison.
I just purchased it today, there is one thing I can suggest. Setting the "scene" default to graphics mode. In my own opinion this is the best balanced setting(similar to movie mode on 61in DLP). Only difference is I use the "Neutral" color setting. The ambient light setting is to your preference, if you disable it your going to have to do more manual tweaking to create a balanced image for yourself.
