Unfortunately, it seems my settings weren’t too well received for this movie since some of the colors got more washed out than they should have been, the contrast could be better and the black levels suffer a bit but overall, things could be alot worse. If you are coming from a standard definition set, the amount of detail will simply floor you.

We will see how these pictures can improve once I properly calibrate the LN52A850 but as it stands, the picture still looks quite good to our eyes. We also have to consider that since these are pictures of a screen, some of the detail and richness is lost.
