Below you'll find the settings I found best for viewing the Samsung UN55F7100 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: Using the "Cinema Black: Low" value had the best black levels of all the options tested. While Dynamic Contrast control at Low in concert with the Cinema Black control gave a tiny (0.001) better black it pushed the Gamma levels out too much. Other DC values caused crushing of the 5 per cent bar and hence a loss of contrast.
