On the front panel (FPA) of the F38310, simultaneously and quickly press the {CH –} & {DIRECTV} buttons. If successful, you should have displayed on the bottom of the screen:
Version Number: XX.XX P:0 V:0
(Note: Modifications to the parameters and values can be performed using the remote at this point. The remote must be in “TV” mode. To be sure, cover the IR bulb on the remote and depress the {TV} button, then you can use the remote for adjustments.)
Before adjustments can be performed, you must enter the password code to enable the FPA (or remote) for access. Use the {VOL +) button to change V:0 to V:76. Once this is done, you can now change the parameter setting for the desired function.
Be sure to write down the V: settings PRIOR to making changes in the event you need to revert.

VIZIO P42 Service Menu Access

To enter the factory mode in the VIZIO model #’s P42 / P42e / P42HD / P42HDe,

Hold down the Channel Down (-) button on the front bezel while
switching the Master Rear AC Power switch ON.

This might work for the 50″ as well. Can’t remember what’s actually in there though.

There’s global grayscale RGB in the user menu but my sample couldn’t be calibrated fully with that. The bottom had to be optimized which meant the top was considerably plus blue. Still, it was way better than stock.
