[edit] Version 3: For Rooms With Normal Lighting (firmware 1003.M) - Updated 7.26.08
Link to original thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=14348269&postcount=898 (check there for updated changes)
Verson #3:
Intro: Everyone wants the whitest whites and the blackest blacks but at what cost?
Unless you're willing to sacrifice colors, details, shadows and experience black crush
it's never recommended to set extreme values for the Brightness and Contrast. Adjust them with diligence and caution.
The settings below are specific for my 2nd 650 and environment. If you choose to try them you may find the need to adjust the settings to suit your 650 and environment.
Calibrations for Firmware: 1003.M
+ For standard DVD upconverted 1080i (should work with Blu-ray/HD DVDs too).
++ For rooms with normal lighting (I use 60 and 100 watt bulbs in a controlled environment). NOT recommended for dark rooms.
Calibration Name: Less Is Better (w/concentration on Grayscale)

Observations After Calibration (for A650 #2):
1. Grayscale adjusted for a lighted environment.
*I'm quite pleased how the end result turned out. For more information on the importance of Grayscale proceed to the Calibration forum.
Must be understood:
1. Backlight, Contrast, Brightness and Gamma interact with one another.
If you decide to change any of these, whether it's just one or all of these settings you may need to adjust the others.
