Take time to get used to the settings, you may think the screen looks dull at first. The truth is most people have way too much contrast on their TVs.
These settings will also work for Cable or Dish hookups, in which case you may change the Noise Reduction option to Medium to reduce signal noise.

I just unpluged everything and tryed to reset it but it did not work. A DVD works great, so I do not think I need to change the settings. It is just the tv. I have HD MI cords for the TV and the DVD.

Thank you for all your help! I unplugged the HDMI cord from the cable box itself and replugged and it works great. Thanks again for you help.
