“I purchased 2 of these tvs. I can't seem to get their colors to match with the same lighting/brightness. Is it normal for their colors to be different?”

I'd have to say it is possible to match the colors. Sorry as I cannot tell you exactly what settings are best with the TV controls alone. But let me explain why I believe it can be done. As a photographer I have a DataColor "Spyder" color calibration device, which allowed optimizing color, brightness levels and matching the monitors. I ended up with closely matched colors and brightness levels of two LED TV sets, a Sony Bravio 40 inch and the Samsung 40 inch. I use both as computer monitors. The Spyder calibration device isn't something most of us would run out to buy at several hundred dollars so what follows are my suggestions.. Why I think this can help your situation: My calibration starts with resetting everything then bring the "candle illumination levels" to a certain level as measured out by the device. Because I did this playing with the contrast, back lighting and contrast, perhaps doing some trial and error adjustments with those three items will help you.The calibration device did the rest to fine tune the sets. Here are my final settings. Find this under the "PICTURE EXPERT" menu: Picture Mode, Natural; Backlight 20(Maximum); Brightness 45; Contrast 76; Sharpness 45 ( I didn't change this); Color 52 (I didn't change this); Tint G/R G50 & R R50 (I didn't change this). Great looking TV shows is a by-product I didn't expect (and doesn't make sense to me). Watching the same TV Movie "Christmas Wedding" side by side, the skin tones were very closely matched. The reason I didn't expect TV Shows to match is because I assumed color calibration only works when used with a computer since the calibration device alters the computer settings in a place called the Look Up Table (LUT). I've a two moniitor video card allowing two different LUT settings.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Both tvs are using the same picture mode. The color will still not match up. Even after putting all the settings to default.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Try using the same picture mode. If you're using different picture modes, then the lighting/brightness won't match.
