Samsung produces some of the top-rated HDTVs on the market, and when coupled with an HD source such as a Blu-ray player, a Samsung picture can be breathtaking. But to get the best picture, you need to calibrate your TV's settings.

Select "Menu" on your Samsung HDTV remote. You'll be presented with your TV's menu. Select the "Picture" tab.
