I've just purchased the SAMSUNG LE46M86BD 46" HD Ready 1080p digital LCD TV, but I can't seem to get the colour/brightness settings 'right'.

If you have the same telly, please could you tell me your settings for brightness, contrast, sharpness etc. Much appreciated!

First off change from the horrible dynamic mode to standard. Now go down where it says "More" and disable everything in there, DNIe, auto colour, edge enhancement etc.
Reduce sharpness and colour a bit, and display titles you know have a lot of red (ie woman in red dress) if it seems too red go into detailed settings, white balance and reduce R-GAIN.

Here are mine (both standard)
HTPC
Contrast 90
Brightness, Sharpness, Colour and Tint are bypassed (using HDMI2, named to PC, HTPC mode on)
Colour tone normal
Black adjust off
dynamic contrast off
gamma 0
white balance
R gain 0
edge enhancement off
colour space auto
backlight 4
DNR off

DVD (1080p)
Standard
Contrast 90
Brightness 48
sharpness 20
colour 45
tint 47
tone normal
size just scan
dnr off
dnie off

Have a play with colour space and xvycc. Changing colour space to wide increases blue and green, however if your set has red push, you just then decrease colour, which'll decrease all three colours back down.

Movie mode makes skin tones look unnatural, however if you reduce green gain and increase red gain you'll make it look closer to standard. In movie you can also go into "detailed settings" you can then adjust colour space and xvycc

No problem.
Movie Plus is a interpolation feature, supposed to make motion more smooth looking but it seems to speed it up, even though lip sync is still correct. Weird.
