Toshiba 29L1350U configuration, settings?

[Mermista]

Okay like the title says I just bought a great toshiba 29L1350U 29" flat screen, and I know your not supposed to just set it up and watch out of the box that it needs fine tuning. But i cannot find anything online for the perfect settings for it, then I remembered this site. So i thought I would post this here for help, thanks.

When setting up a TV, the first thing to do is calibrate it, using a calibration DVD like Avia or Digital Video Essentials.

- DVE DVD - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&tag=thdifa-20
- DVE HD Blu-ray - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&tag=thdifa-20
- Avia DVD - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&tag=thdifa-20

The DVE DVD is under $10 used. Best deal there.

Do you have one of these?

These discs walk you through setting up the TV -- any TV -- for all the various color/contrast/etc values, which are usually very fubar from the manufacturer. The defaults are not very good at all. The newer HD Blu-ray version might even address the new motion settings found on many HDTVs.

You spent ~$300 on the TV, the it's worth spending another $10-35 to get it to look perfect, yes.
