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 am wondering about the quality of the picture. When I view the credits at the end of the show, white lettering on black, the white lettering seems to fade and then come back brighter. This happens all the time and is really obvious when there is a black background. Is this a setting problem or a tv problem? It is still under warranty.
thanks

vizio VO420E. powers on and audio fine. colors appear "solarized" or "negative" looking. this affects the entire screen, and the menu settings (brightness, contrast, tint, etc) do not fix the image.
trying to set to set up the perfect balance picture settings
