Your third picture looks especially good.

Before we ever had a color TV in my family (my grandmother's in 1974), I remember everyone seemed to "want to get their money's worth" from their color sets, and they cranked the color to extremes, just about every set I saw. When my grandma got her set (a Hitachi 19-inch), and I tinkered with the controls when she let me watch it, I was happy to find that you could adjust it to "real" color. Regarding contrast, I set it to the lowest I can accept rather than the highest the TV can handle.
