In Reply to: Re: Need help picking out a DVD for my new TV posted by Bolt_Snypr on July 28, 2004 at 13:42:54:
Most TVs come set in the "torch" mode so they will stand out in a store display. Running it this way is like driving a new car off the lot at a constant 100 miles per hour with no break in. It is essential that the contrast and brightness be adjusted, expecially on your set which has been run a long time in "torch" mode.
The DVDs suggested will help but the best picture and longest set life will come via a professional calibartion by a trained Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) technician using special equipment and "hidden" menus.

This is the type of Reply that makes me go hhhhmmmmmmm....I went on the TV menu and adjusted the modes to what was recommended by you good folks here. I'll check to see if 'torch mode is on' Don’t need to have that going after reading your reply. Thank you!
"Torch Mode" is a sarcastic saying, not an actual mode. It refers to the fact that sets are delivered WAY too B-R-I-G-H-T.
