Optimal Settings for PERFECTION

This TV Is simply stunning. Prepare to be slack jawed for quite some time. For those of you wanting to get film quality image reproduction out of this unit try the following settings. Give it one day after making the adjustments so your eyes can adjust to the change. The realism from these settings will produce images so lifelike that it will take your breath away.

The following figures contains the picture settings for the TH-58PZ700U after its ISF calibration. I highly suggest that you use these settings if you purchase or own this television. By configuring the television to the below settings I was able to get the color temperature to D6650K, a substantial improvement over the out-of-the-box measurement of D10000K+. Using the below settings to regulate the color temperature and white balance virtually perfects the picture of the TH-58PZ700U:

Wonderful Picture

The TV arrived three days after placing my order !! I live in Oklahoma. The White Glove service was good. They took the TV out of the box and made sure it worked. Then they took the packing material and left. Don't expect them to mount the TV that's not part of the White Glove service. Later when some furniture was delivered I asked the delivery men to help lift the TV onto its stand. It weighs about 150 lbs. Then after connecting all the cables I asked the Cable guy to help lift it into the alcove where it stands today. He wasn't supposed to help. Cox cable is afraid of liability issues. (Thanks Dave)The combined TV and stand weigh about 170 lbs. It's not too difficult for two men to lift but with the cables attached can be a little awkward. It helps to have a third person work with the cables. Be sure you have all your cables planned out before you put it in place or have easy access to the rear - I don't.

Don't let anyone tell you too big is too big.....

"WOW" is the most common reaction from EVERYONE who has come by to watch the Superbowl, College Basketball and even Desperate Housewifes (I swear it's my wife that watches it).....

Excellent picture quality, set up was not to bad but would recommend you have 3 strong people to hang and install if you're not going to have it professionally installed.

It took about a week to get use to the picutre size as I went from a 42" to this 58" and now I'm thinking I should have gone bigger LOL.

Great bold colors, dark blacks and have noticed no problems with the picture keeping up with the various viewing items.

Have played PS3 games and Blueray Movies, regular DVD's, HD and Regular Television stations all with great reception. Would highly recommend this product.

Do wish the plug was a little bit longer, just had enough to go from rear of TV, through the wall and down to a powerstrip. Had the TV been hung ANY higher, I would have had to invest in a longer cord or extension cord.
