If you haven't done so already, get a test disk like AVIA or Video Essentials and see what that does for you. I found that at the proper settings the biggest difference was not color, as I'd thought, but blacks. Now I can watch a movie with dark scenes and actually see what's going on -- it's a bit of a revelation after all of these years.
Other than that, you might consider getting a pro to set the WEGA's internal settings up properly. I'm sure, like everyone else, they have the grey setting jacked up, etc.

It really is amazing how bad the factory defaults are on most TV's. Once you set up your system using Avia ( excellent, very in-depth ) or Video Essentials ( very good, but more basic ), you would never go back to not having the system calibrated this way. Pictures are so much sharper with better detail and contrast. Your Vega is capable of an excellent picture and color definition if properly adjusted. Sean

From what i understand the WEGA XBR series is pretty spot on with grey scale rendition
