In Reply to: RE: Got my 5010 and Integra preamp set up, finally posted by Jazz Inmate on January 17, 2008 at 10:37:17
I can't believe you installed it yourself, as the thing is pretty heavy and unwieldy, especially when you take it off the stand. (But I guess your bad back is the result--sorry about that!) As for the murkiness from HD broadcasts, I'm getting none of that from my Comcast box--they look quite wonderful.
Don't know if you know this already, but D-Nice revised his settings for the 5010/6010 on 1/12/08. (He's overlaid his previous settings on AVS with the new ones.) Frankly, I can't tell much of a difference between the new ones and his previous ones (from 12/2/07), except that he now uses User mode (as opposed to Standard), which means you can now have a different Pure Cinema adjustment for each input--I use 'Standard' for the cable box and 'Advance' for BD 1080/24 playback via HDMI. (Remember that with User mode, you have to adjust the settings separately for each input--they don't apply across the board, as with Standard mode.)
Enjoy!

I was able to install it by using chairs and serving stands to raise one side at a time until I got the screen high enough to lift the bracket hooks onto the wall mount. It was very difficult and heavy, and it's a miracle the chairs and stands didn't fall over during that process. Not terribly bright to do it myself, but after more than a week of NTSC on an old CRT, I just couldn't wait. There's no way I could have installed my old plasma by myself without slicing off both my hands and dropping the unit, but the 5010 has nifty handholds on the rear panel.
I just set it up last night, so I'm sure I used D-Nice's revised settings. I backed off a little on his color recommendation, as it appeared too vibrant. I'll need to play around with it some more and may go back to his recommendation. That A/V preamp still has me concerned in terms of its impact on the picture. Some of the broadcasts look good, if they're in 1080i or 720. Below that, it looks bad--definitely worse than before.
