Did you go into the service menu and change the settings? If you did, you should have made note of the initial setting.

There are no "resets" to the initial settings, since every TV is unique and comes from the factory with different settings, due to the variability of the components.

If there were a reset, then those values may not meet the needs of your particular TV.

If you have changed data written to the epprom (non volatile memory), unplugging the display will have no effect. The only way to reset data written in this manner is to reenter the original data from notes taken before changes were made.

Good viewing,

Without referencing a service tech manual, the codings of service parameters are only a "best guess".

If you really want to know, you will need to find a copy of the service manual, or after writing down the initial parameters and settings, change them and observe. It's your TV, but be forewarned, some adjustments will seem to do nothing as they are changing entries for inputs that you may not be viewing when you alter them. To be safe, only adjust service settings with a verified copy of the documentation close at hand.

I believe this site may have one for sale..

Really cheap insurance against getting the wrong data from questionable sources.

Good viewing,
