kachangmd,

C|Net has just launched a forum specific for televisions and settings here:

It's still new, so there might not be settings for your television as of yet, but if you track the thread of your model, you should receive a notification whenever someone does post their settings. It's a new concept that C|Net put together, and I believe it will be extremely valuable in the upcoming weeks.

As far as the "background" images in the picture being blurry, it may have more to do with the transmission of the broadcast than the actual panel. When the digital signal is sent, it is often times compressed. This constant zip/unzip process can cause the picture to not be as good as a constant steady stream, like for instance, Blu-Ray. The television is designed to process these imperfections in signal quality, however, some of the responsibility lies in the compression of the picture as it's sent to your house.

I hope that sheds a little light on the situation. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
