About Henry A. McKelvey Expertise I have worked in the Electronics field for 25 years, and have been a Telecommunications Expert for 20 years. My Expertise has been in: Video, Audio, RF, Television, and Stereo. I have been in the Television repair business for 25 years and have repaired over 20,000 Televisions in that time. I was a manager of an Information Technology Training Team at The Verizon Advanced Services Group Center, and a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Verizon Laboratories. I am now working full time in the TV repair industry until I can find another full time job, I know what your question is: "why don't you just work full time in the TV repair industry permanently?" Well the answer to that is simple, due to the complexity and the DIY craze, TV repair work is at best a good way to make extra money, not to rely on it for your livelihood. A sad truth, but a truth nonetheless.
Experience 25 years as an Electronics Repair Technician, 20 years as a Telecommunications Expert, and I love Electronics.

Question HI I have a Samsung LN32A300 and I was just wondering if you could give me info on either whats the best Optimal settings for gaming, blu-rays and daily viewing or where I can find that without paying the 300 for a pro calibration. thanks
Answer Hello Jordan,
This is more or less a question only you can answer for certain. I can only offer these suggestions.
1) make sure you set the brightness to a level that will not induce burn-in
2)For gaming set the brightness high enough to see the image well but low enough to prevent burn-in
3)Blue-ray should be set with the default of movie
4)daily viewing should be set as normal.
You Remote should have a menu button and in the menu it should have these settings under video.
