To show the best picture the first thing you need is the best source signal. Sometimes you will need to set the output of your set-top-box (cable, satellite, DVD, etc) for the highest resolution.

Picture Menu settings are up to your taste and room lighting, but I find these are a general rule. In the "user" settings put the 'picture' to 90% (this adjusts the bright areas), the 'brightness' to 50% (this adjusts the dark areas), 'color' to 40%, 'tint' to 50%, 'sharpness' to 20% (this removes the exaggerated edges), and all the automatic controls to the center settings. This might have a back-light setting also, place this to show the slight variances in the dark areas according to the room brightness.
