Samsung PN60F5300 Notes Revision as of Wednesday, 26 June 2024 at 10:57 UTC

• BestBuy lists the TV
  as “PN60F5300AFXZA” but with a UPC code of
  887276963693 which
  corresponds to “PN60F5300BFXZA”.
• Here’s Samsung’s page for the TV.
• Main Board: BN94-0728B
• Power Board: BN44-00689A
• Calibration settings, kept here for posterity. Here’s where I got it from.
  Didn’t mess with White Balance and, strangely, didn’t have the “10p
  White Balance = On” option.
