For KDL-40V5100:

When I connected TV to DISH NETWORK HD dish noticed that pic was slightly diff than when I had it connected to my roof antenna.
Here are my settings for the most realistic pic I have seen on this TV (pic via DISH NETWORK):
Picture Mode VIVID
Backlight MAX
Picture MAX
Brightness 60
Color 60
Hue 0
Color Temp NEUTRAL
Sharpness 20
Noise Reduction OFF
Adv Contract Enh HIGH
Gamma OFF
Clear White OFF
Live Color OFF
Rest are default

Hi gregk,

Those settings must produce a horrifically overdriven, blue, and edge enhanced picture with really bad blacks.

Those were settings for really bright picture in VIVID pic mode. Although not as great as the CUSTOM pic settings below,if you really need a very bright pic they will do that and no, I did not observe those issues you are referring to that possibly would affect other TV brands but not the SONY.

Best settings in Custom pic mode for KDL40-V5100 ( and I assume for all V5100 ) that I have found are as follows (connected to DISH Network):

Picture Mode CUSTOM
Backlight MAX
Picture MAX
Brightness 50
Color 50
Hue R5
Color Temp NEUTRAL
Sharpness 22
Noise Reduction LOW
Adv Contract Enh LOW
Gamma LOW
Clear White LOW
Live Color LOW
Rest are default

Enjoy!
