Several years ago I used the 2001 Sound & Vision (Ovation) HT Tune-up disc to calibrate a SD TV with excellent results. I tried the same disc to calibrate a new Panasonic Plasma HDTV and while the picture is striking I am concerned about the Picture/Contrast setting which I understand if set too high can have a negative effect on the display. The Panny was delivered with the Picture setting at max (30). After reading about burn-in, I reduced this setting to 0 (neutral) especially since I watch a lot of movies with a 2.35.1 AR. I followed the instructions to calibrate the Picture/Contrast setting, but was surprised that I was not able to adjust this setting high enough to a point just before "blooming." Even if set to the max (30) which was the factory setting!
Since calibration is supposed to achieve the best display results and minimize potential problems, should I be concerned about the high picture/contrast settings achieved through this process? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
