Adjusting newer sets.

[mirayge]

How do you adjust color and brightness on non-collector sets? I'm talking about sub $40, generaly silver with side speakers. I crank the heck out of the contrast and lower the brightness until the picture isn't washed out. Then I use Days of Our Lives (NBC seems to be using all their peacock colors in HD produced shows) to do the tint adjustment. Getting hospital scrub green and natural skin tones is a PIA, some tubes can't do it. Color is then adjusted to where red is natural. The final test is to play Queen - We Will Rock You through the component inputs. If I say 'WOW' it is perfect.
