We’re getting a fair bit of traffic looking for the ideal picture settings for the LE40M86BD of late so I thought I’d do a little research and see what I could find. I don’t own this TV so these aren’t verified personally but they do come from reliable sources. Many thanks to HDTVTest and the AVforums for these.

Please note that these settings are subjective and dependent upon your ambient lighting arrangement as well as quality of source signal. As such they should be considered a good place to start tweaking to suit your viewing environment. If you have any settings that might improve on these then feel free to post them in the comments section.

Are these settings similar to a ISF calibration?
