TweakTV’s data base of User Menu settings simply allows you to obtain a better picture – enhanced performance on your HDTV - than what the factory preset picture settings deliver.

TweakTV’s data base gives you information that has been compiled by our calibration experts in their field work. The settings that you will get for your particular make and model are what one of TweakTV’s professionals obtained while calibrating that same model set in someone’s home. This “tweak” does not represent a full professional system calibration. Rather, it is simply our recommended User Menu settings that are intended to enhance your HDTV’s performance for the digital HDMI input used for either a digital satellite or cable source. It also does not mean the settings we are recommending are the absolute best for your particular set as there are parts variations one set from another that can make the ideal settings a little different, even if they are the same model.

However, these settings will definitely be much closer to where they should be, and will undoubtedly make a marked improvement in picture quality over the factory settings that the TV ships with. Keep in mind the data is pertinent to only the digital HDMI input used for a digital satellite or cable feed.

Here are some of the picture improvements you can expect. Colors will be less garish and more natural looking. Skin tones will look more natural. Dark material will reveal more shadow detail as a result of getting black level, which is controlled by the brightness control, closer to correct. The picture will be smoother with less artifacts on high quality HDTV channels, and less edge enhanced or unnaturally sharp looking.
