Since I bought my scaler about 8 years ago I never did any proper settings improving picture quality.
I always used factory settings.
Now that I have some free time on my vacation, my idea is to do some tweaking with Noise reduction, Color and Hue changes in the menu system.
I'm not 100% satisfied with the current factory settings when I watch LD's on my 32" LCD screen.
Skin tones on all actors are pink-reddish almost looking like tomatoes and certain scenes looks like mosaic paintings.
Picture is not always looking natural instead it sometimes looks artificial in certain scenes through the scaler.
Not using the scaler which means watching LD's directly on my LCD screen A/V is even worse in dark nighttime scenes, skin tones on every actor turns very brown and strange uneven clouding smear appears onscreen in dark scenes. Choosing between plague and colera I rather prefer watching LD's through my XS-3D even if I never had any time to properly dial in color settings.

Over all, I'm quite pleased with my XS-3D but need to do some more thorough tweaking with color and noise settings to get an even better picture quality when I watch LD's.
The manual isn't very informative how much to raise or lower each setting?
Any good advice I can get from the experts using scalers?
Thanks for your help.
