Hi List,<br>
<br>
I just picked up a new HDTV over the weekend from Costco (Vizio M550SL). I wanted to set the picture settings to the ideal settings. Has anyone calibrated one of these or found settings they like that they can share? I am not planning on changing any of the nVidia settings (using a 430) but willing to do so if anyone has had good success creating a better picture that way.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br></div></div>

I don't have that Vizio, but I'm happy with the results calibrating my HDTVs (both 1080p and 720p) with the collection of MP4 video clips described here:<br>

<br>
The clips are a 22 GB download and take up about that much space when extracted. They play well with the mythtv internal player in 0.23, when extracted into my video library. I haven't tried them in newer versions of myth. The download also contains some .png files that don't show up in the the video library. I used xine to display these full screen.<br>
<br>
Be sure to download Patterns-Manual.pdf so you know how to use them.<br>
<br>
I've only use the basic and misc test patterns. The other series of tests are meant to be used with hardware I don't have (and didn't feel the need to invest in) to more precisely calibrate color.<br>

HTH,<br>
Helen<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks. I will give it a shot. FYI, its 22 MB, not GB. I was concerned at first when I thought it was that large. <br></div></div>
