Just bought an LED TV, pic too good?!

[HCMH]

Not posted here before as I'm no TV specialist, however after 12 years since I last bought a TV I figured it was about time I did. Opted for a Samsung LED 6000 40" jobby, nice and slim, perfect size for the house and the picture is ridiculously sharp....to the point where it is almost too good. When playing movies some look like crappy soap operas...all looks a bit 'fake' and like I'm watching it in a studio. Cartoons are great but movies seem to have lost their artistic quality if that makes sense. DVD is not blue ray but hooked up with an hdmi cable...can't imagine how sharp blu ray would be! Any suggestions on how to soften up the picture a little? Thanks H

Try avforums.com and look in the TV section for your samsung. There will probably be a setup that will take the edge off the picture, as most of the standard setups are designed to stand out on the shop floor rather than be watchable at home

Definitely this ^^^^^

Samsung LED's (6, 7, 8 & 9000 series) are all noted in various forums for the "out of the box" settings being 'unfriendly'. Try these

I had the same with my 40" one - I googled around the web and found a whole bunch of settings that made it perfect on hdtvtest

I was looking at one the other day, perhaps the 37".

Would you recommend it?

Thanks gents, maybe I am now used to it but the pic is great. I am a complete novice when it comes to TVs but would recommend it. Happy days
