    tanning bed face?
    Why in the hell does peoples faces look like they been in a tanning bed to long on my new 42'' lg plasma tv, Do i have something set wrong?Here is a list of my settings
    contrast 70%
    brightness 70%
    color 70%
    sharpness 50%
    tint middle
    Cinema 3:2 mode OFF
    Black level LOW
    Color temperature COOL
    XD AUTO
    Does this sound even close to where it should be? I realize no one can set my tv up with out being here, but im just trying to get a starting point. It does'nt seem to be as bad on sports, the NBA looked dam good the other night, dvd's also look pretty good, How ever i was watching indiana jones trio last week and the faces almost looked red, At the moment im watching Pirates of the Caribbean and the faces kind of look clay like, Just wandered if there is anything i can do to help is problem out. THANKS

    YEAH, get a LCD or DLP set.
    Plasma is dead.
    Or you could turn down the color to fifty, same with contrast and brightness.
    Try adjusting the "black level" also, in spite of what some tell you, plasma has
    the same black level problems as most of the newer formats, set this to "medium" at least.
    AND turn down the sharpness to ZERO, all these "sharpness" controls do is increase video noise, which I will bet you're getting.
    As for the actors loking kind of "clay like" on "Pirates"...
    THATS JUST THE ACTING:1:

    Do you have a "reset to factory default" setting on your TV? Is what you describe what you saw the first time you turned on the TV?

    The tv has three preset settings, Dynamic, Standerd, Mild, Then there is a user 1 setting where you can do the contrast, color, brightness, tint, sharpness, yourself, that's the setting im messing around in.

    Why don't you look at the settings in one of the presets and do a comparison. I really don't think there are any people here who'll be able to tell you which setting needs to be changed based on the settings information you're providing in your original post s dog.

    After I get a PS3 and start watching Blu-ray movies, I'll probably get the TV ISF calibrated and just leave it well enough alone.

    I will give that a try. I'v been watching a HDCRT picture for so long that maybe im just not use to a plasma picture yet.

    Damn, so much rough language in this thread :yikes:

    S Dog, I would also mess around with color temperature settings a bit too to see if there is any improvement. It is usually recommended to set it to "Warm" or "neutral", or D6500 if there is such a setting.

    What did I say something wrong?

    Tanning face can also be caused by too much red color push which mean one have to access TV's service menu to fix it. But that might be easier said than done since service menu are strickly for pros with proper equipment.
