Picture Settings - Help?
I just purchased a Vizeo E500AR 50" 1080P TV. I'm sure it is set with the "default" settings. Any suggestions for tweeking the picture - e.g. Movie Mode, Backlight settings, Brightness settings, etc. It also doesn't seem as sharp as I thought it might be, but we have Direct TV and don't have HD box.
Much appreciated!
