You can read this, to get an idea what the brightness control does:

I hope that you have noticed that two people try to advice you, and you don't want to share the settings you have put on your TV.

Everything that you describe suggests that the setting you have put are wrong.

I hope you have not copied the flatpanelHD ones, and expect them to work...

The brightness should be at 38 for video levels (i.e. DVB-T), and at 51 for PC levels (0-255).

if you look at the my posts i keep telling you the setting is on tv default i have not changed any thing
i use cinema for bluray and standerd for freeview hd so the problem is the tv

Hi again Ali,

well, now we're getting somewhere... You see, those settings are definitely not the default ones, so somehow, somewhere, someone changed them. Now first of all, reset them (both Standard and Cinema) to their original presets: to do that, use the option above Contrast.

After you've done that, we can see if some other changes are needed.

hi freedy

this are defult settings on my tv wich setting do you think is not on defult and i im useing hdmi

The following settings are not default ones (in bold I put the Standard defaults):

sharpness 5 (2)
tint costom (Normal)
perfect contrast off (Medium)
dynamic backlighting best power (Best Picture)
gamma 2 (1)

I would suggest you try the following changes first:


Colour: 50
Sharpness: 1/0 (SD / HD)
Noise Reduction: Minimum
Tint: Custom
Custom Tint: R/G/B = 127/105/93 (this is slightly different for every tv)

Perfect Contrast: Off
Dynamic Backlight: Standard
MPEG Artefact Reduction: Minimum
Colour Enhancement: Off
Gamma: 2 (or in your case maybe 3)

PC Mode: Off
Light Sensor: Off


Good luck and let us know if this improved anything for you!...

And here are my settings for watching through HDMI:

Contrast: 70
Brightness: 51 with PC signals (0-255), 38 for video signals (16-235)
Colour: 47
Sharpness: 1
Noise reduction: off
Tint: custom
Custom tint: Red 115, Green 100, Blue 69
Super resolution: off
Perfect contrast: off
Dynamic backlight: Standard
MPEG artefact reduction: off
Colour enhancement: off
Gamma: 3
PC mode: off
Light sensor: on/off

And I have placed them in the cinema preset, and assigned the cinema preset to the HDMI input.

thanx guys for shearing your settings can you tell me what this setting are for ex:bluray or freeview hd

[petasis]

The settings I have post are for all HD material (bluray, media player, sat receiver, freeview HD). The only think you have to tweak is the brightness (51 or 38), which detects on the player/broadcast. I would expect that for any broadcasting 38 should be used, but I don't live in UK. For DVB-T SD (Greece) I use 38.

Its funny how everyone has different tastes when it comes to TV settings. Mine for my 40PFL9705H/12 are as follows:

Smart picture: Natural
Contrast: 65
Brightness: 47
Colour: 55
Sharpness: 1
Noise Reduction: Off
Tint: Cool
Perfect Contrast: Off
Perfect Pixel HD: Everything set to off.
Dynamic Backlight: Best picture
Colour Enhancement: Off
Gamma: -3
Light Sensor: Off
Pixel Plus: Off
Picture Format: Unscaled

I only use the TV for Blu-ray playback. Because the screen itself is very reflective, try not to have any reflective objects in front of the TV, as I found that this affects picture quality, specifically the black levels. I tend to restrict my viewing to the night, with only the ambilight feature providing any light to the room. I just hope that Philips releases new firmware to fix the subtitle and audio drop out problems, ASAP!

The settings I have provided are not a personal taste, but rather the result of myself calibrating the TV with Calman 4 & ColorMunki sensor.

Philips 37PFL5405H/12 sound loss over HDMI (1) ARC.
Connectivity:
- satellite receiver HDMI 2
- video recorder SCART
- home theatre/DVD HDMI (1) ARC
I listen to the sound through the home theatre. The sound the satellite receiver and the sound of the video recorder are perfect. The DVD is perfect likewise.
Firmware: Ver.: 000.140.039.000

As opposed to this the telly the sound of TV programs (all DVB-T) is left out continuously and this very disturbing, unpleasant.
What there may be the solution or we may be the reasons?
Incomprehensible the phenomenon, because HDMI ARC is all sound sign on the same one on a socket comes.
The my home theatre/DVD equipment Samsung HT-D455 (2011). http://www.samsung.com/hu/consumer/t...ype=prd_detail
This HDMI-CEC compatible and HDMI ARC socket is. HDMI ARC a socket ver. 1.4 (HDMI High Speed) needed so be it.
