panasonic dmp bd55 video settings

Hi sorry if this has been answered but is it worth using the internal video settings as far as the contrast and brightness etc. settings in the player,or just leave them at factory settings and just use the t.v. settings.
Thanks

I found it unecessary to alter our player's video settings for good upconversion quality but some people find the picture better on standard DVDs if they reduce the sharpness control. You could certainly play around with it and see what looks best to you.

Joel Silver maintains that the sample to sample variations of CE devices like DVD players and Blu-ray players vary enough that player-based video controls are essential in order to get the most accurate picture.

YMMV so experiment yourself and see what you like best.

hey! mike e

in my opinon you should leave the picture settings alone when it comes to custom adjustments. i suggest you try the cinema setting it gives you more contrast and black levels.

i say this because i tried the picture settings and it was okay but when i used the cinema mode it was night and day. i used the reference movie "cars" on blu-ray. if you have this movie play it with your picture stettings and then try the cinema mode.

i don't know what display your using, but i feel that your display plays a major factor in your players performance. i'm using a pioneer kuros pdp-5010 and my panny-55k looks awesome with the cinema mode engaged.

good luck, chip1
