I just got the TV for $1350 from Dell (after a promo code I found via Google). I've hooked it up and it looks pretty decent out of the box, but I ordered the Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics Blu-Ray from Amazon. It should arrive early next week. Once I go through it and find the settings for me, I'll post them here.

OK I got the Blu-Ray last night and went through the calibration. Here is what I got. Keep in mind, that I am not a professional calibrator, so my results may not be perfect. Also since the test patterns were coming from my Blu-Ray player, they may compensate for irregularities in the output of my Blu-Ray player (Sony BDP-S570).


Main Picture Settings

Picture Mode: Custom
Backlight: 85 (this was fixed and I couldn't change it)
Brightness: 49
Contrast: 51
Color: 47
Tint: 0
Sharpness: 4

Size & Position

Horizontal Position: 30
Vertical Position: 13
Horizontal Size: 2
Vertical Size: 4

Color Temperature

Color Temperature: Normal
Red Gain: 133
Green Gain: 131
Blue Gain: 128
Red Offset: 128

Blue Offset: 128

Advanced Picture

Smooth Motion Effect: Middle
Real Cinema Mode: Precision
Noise Reduction: Low
Color Enhancement: Off
Adaptive Lumina: Medium
Film Mode: Auto
Smart Dimming: On (probably why the backlight was unchangeable)
Ambient Light Sensor: Middle

Good luck everyone, and let me know how they look for you.
