AUDIO/VIDEO Setting Descriptions: Video

Video Settings

Acompressed (non-HD) video signal may cause what appears to be a “blurry”, “out of focus” or “fuzzy “ picture on a widescreen TV. This is not a malfunction of the TV, but a result of the compressed signal that is sent by cable or satellite. To re-adjust the picture, try the following:

Adjust your video settings (specifically sharpness) for optimal picture performance.

Use the Convergence Menu (page 53) to properly align the TV.

Change the format size (pages 60-61).

Contrast

Provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast shows darker images more uniformly black and makes colors appear more vibrant.

Brightness

Provides a slider to adjust the overall brightness of the picture.

Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

Tint

Provides a slider to adjust the proportion of red to green.

Color Temp (Color Temperature) Allows you to adjust how white images are displayed. Your choices are:

Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images will have a warm cast to them. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness and the TV’s age. The Low 6500K represents the 6500K industry standard for NTSC (non- DTV) pictures.

 

 

• Medium: White images will be balanced

 

 

 

between the Low (warm) and High (cool)

 

 

 

settings.

 

 

 

• High: White images will have a cool cast

 

 

 

to them. This setting may provide the most

 

 

 

realistic picture under bright lighting.

AUDIO/VIDEO

 

 

Video Noise

 

 

 

 

 

Reduces minor noise (graininess) in the

 

 

 

broadcast or input signal.

 

 

 

This function operates only in 480i mode.

 

 

 

Film Mode (Automatic)

 

 

 

Video media uses a video camera created

 

 

 

at 30 frames per second. Film media uses a

 

 

 

film camera created at 24 frames per second.

Setting

 

 

Examples of video media are live TV broadcast

 

 

such as news, special events, or video taped

 

 

 

 

 

programs. Examples of film media are motion

 

 

 

pictures, made-for-TV movies, and many prime

 

 

 

time programs. Filmed media is converted by

 

 

 

the broadcaster or home video company to

Descriptions:

 

 

30 frames per second to match TV or video

 

 

 

 

 

standards. This conversion can leave subtle

 

 

 

“picture artifacts” or conversion errors.

 

 

 

The settings are On and Off. If you select On,

 

 

 

the system automatically detects if the signal

 

 

 

source is Film and corrects for conversion

 

 

 

errors. If you select Off, the system will never

 

 

 

correct for conversion errors.

Video

 

 

This function operates only in 480i mode.

Note: A slider will display on-screen for each

 

setting. The slider has a numeric value, where

 

63 is the maximum, the mid-range is 31 and the

 

minimum setting is 0.

 

Note: For optimal picture performance, it is recommended that you adjust your video settings (specifically contrast and brightness) during initial setup. Certain factors will affect your personal preferences, including room lighting, glare reflections and viewing angles/distance. This also slows phosphor aging. If glare or reflections affect your viewing on a continual basis, you may want to remove the Diamond Shield (please refer to page 69).
