I keep virtual surround on and it sounds good. Ideally, you should get a sound bar for this tv.

It depends on what level of visuals you would like to have. It is a good size screen, the matrix is active, meaning you don't need to sit directly in front of it and the color fades, blackens and/or inverts as you step out of the "sweet spot" in the center. I have a few screens like that and it sucks. I mean, just as an audiophile needs and desires pristine, unmatched sound quality, with balanced harmonics and all that stuff, a "visualphile" would desire the same when it comes to his/her screen. Its apparently not on that level, but it a very good screen. I would game on it any day! I use it for HQ wave visuals, meter movements, etc for professional audio work. Refreshes fine with no issues. Meters, waves and analyzers are as clear and responsive and accurate as they should be. As far as cables, it comes with two. A VGA cable and an DVI cable and the screen has connections for both. Thats analog or digital. I Love it! Get it and Game and be happy!

Here are some settings I found that might help you out: Main Picture Menu: - Picture Mode: Movie (set this before any of the rest!!) - Backlight: 10-20 (based on preference and ambient light in room, you can change this at the end to your liking) - Contrast: 100 - Brightness: 52 - Sharpness: 60 - Color: 51 - Tint: G50/R50 (center) - Picture Size: Screen Fit (otherwise you could very well lose some pixels) Advanced Settings: - Dynamic Contrast: Off - Black Tone: off - Flesh Tone: -5 - RGB Only Mode: Off - Color Space: Custom --- Red: 61, 0, 0 --- Green: 0, 50, 0 --- Blue: 0, 8, 54 --- Yelow: 89, 77, 0 --- Cyan: 0, 50, 50 --- Magenta: 53, 0, 50 - White Balanace: --- R-Offset: 23 --- G-Offset: 18 --- B-Offset: 22 --- R-Gain: 22 --- G-Gain: 31 --- B-Gain: 26 - Gamma: +1 - 10p White Balance: Off (trust me, not worth it!! Unless you have a professional calibration tool) Picture options: - Color Tone: Warm2 - Digital Clean View: Auto - MPEG Noice Filter: Off (removes details from many scenes) - HDMI Black Level: Low - Auto Motion Plus: Standard - Cinema Black: Medium

Sound is pretty good. To me, it seems normal...not as good as having external speakers (which I do on my other TV), but it's adequate.

Not sure if anyone has posted their settings yet, but you'll have better luck asking your question at the AVS forum. There is a 5-page (so far) thread on this TV... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1211005

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

I got settings from tweak tv and c-net forums. The settings from c-net are more accurate for watching HD programming, you should use those.

It depends on what environment you are using the speakers in. AV receiver? Man cave? Bar? I can be more specific with more information.

I found that the sound leveling varied with the media and the channel I was viewing. For example most of my shows benefit from the sound leveling, but I found a couple of them sounded better with it off. The dialogue enhancement seems to work best for me with the shows that do well with sound leveling. I also find I need to tweak the bass and treble settings often depending on the show I am watching. I also find that music and sound effects are generally too loud, but I think that is problem with how the soundtrack has been mixed. I have the same problem in a movie theater. On the ZVOX I simply turn the bass down a bit and sometimes the treble too. It sometimes helps.

Im watching it :D just adjust your resoulution a bit, since this one has problems a bit with 1920x1080 at 60 hz resolutions.

You can do either. It's definitely easiest to set the monitors at a reasonable level (50-75%) and then control the volume for the most part via your DAC, mixer, etc. I'd recommend you experiment, though, to find the volume combination that produces the least amount of noise.

I would let the sub handle a good portion of the lows. THX settings are 80hz, so I figure that's a good crossover point.

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

Go into "settings" and you can adjust everything from there. I haven't used all the features of this stereo yet.

That is a pretty subjective question, but here are the video settings my TV has right now on the Calibrated setting: Backlight - 99, Brightness - 60, Contrast - 70, Color - 50, Tint - 0 (that's the middlemost value), and Sharpness - 60.

My best guess is to check the audio and video settings on your pc. Check the frequency if possible. 44.4 kHz, 48 kHz. Stuff like that can make a difference. Good luck. If you have high quality audio card using your pc audio is just as good as long as there is no time lag.

I don't know, but I feel I need some additional sound system since much of the voice, etc., is washed out. Any suggestions?
