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 have a "bar" of gray that runs all the way down the screen. It is about an inch wide. Another one is starting to form in the middle of the screen.
Same problem, yellow tint, small blue area at one side.
my color looks like everything is in the yellow and blue colors. i dont have lines or anything, just colors. i do not have speakers or anything next to my tv. I have tried to ply with the colors and nothing is working. very strange.
same here....yellow tint...wtf? how do i fix?
The picture has no yellows at all! Where it should be yellow turns out to be light reddish. The greens are 'cool', showing nothing like the green in your ASK box below to the right. Blue skies appear as a 'cold' blue.
