If you or someone you love has purchased or is purchasing the 71″ Samsung HL-S7178W behemoth:

‘paxi’ pointed me in the direction of recommended optimized settings from Eliab on AVS (Professional ISF calibrator). These are the settings you can realized out of the box using the user menu, no need to enter the service menu:

Digital NR - OFF
DNIe - Off
Mode - Movie
Contrast - 40
Brightness - 45
Sharpness - 0
Color - 45
Tint - G50/R50
Color Tone - Warm2

Eliab goes on further to suggest that the user perform a “Digital Video Essentials (DVE) user-level setup”, luckily he and Dave Abrams had put together a guide on how to do it earlier in the year.
