LG 37LG30 Display Settings [calibration]
The LG 37LG30 gives you a lot of options to tweak your display settings on top of the standard AV modes i.e. Cinema, Game and Sports. You can calibrate your display and save in Expert1 and Expert2 settings.
This is how you can do it: Go to Menu –> Picture –> Picture Mode –> Expert1 and then you can calibrate your display.
Below are the settings that I use, along with the cinema mode. You can find a lot of others on the net.

Hello – I will be trying these settings, thanks for the info. Do you have setting suggestions for watching SDTV? We still watch a few channels there but the picture quality is very poor.
Thanks…

Are the 10 Point IRE settings only available via HD? I watch standard cable via scart, and can’t find the 10 Point option in my settings?
Thanks,

Hi,i have the 37LG3000. I’m having the same problems as confused owner as I can’t find the ISF settings. Everything else is the same, except that I have Red contrast, blue contrast, green contrast, and their respective brightness settings where I think the 10 point IRE should be. Any help would be really appreciated.
