Samsung PN50C550 Calibration Settings

Picture Calibration:

Calibration Notes: The Samsung PN50B550 has very complete calibration options for this price range with white balance controls. There is a blue push from the Standard setting. Changing picture mode to the Movie setting gets the TV well under way to D6500K, though there were a significant number of white balance control adjustments. Follow the picture settings below to calibrate.
