tv gurus - whats the best way to set up a new lcd?

[beefcake]

i've got a couple of smaller vizios lcd's and a samsung plasma 55" in my game room.

i just redid the living room and added a vizio 55"

anyway, the new tv looks a little weird to me, and maybe thats the way it's supposed to be, but the people on the screen almost look like they aren't in the backround

any recommended settings?
