To adjust the picture, open the Main Menu by pressing the Menu button and select Picture by pressing the ▲ or ▼ buttons followed by the ▶ button for sub menus.

This television can make the most of the range of picture formats now being transmitted. Many programmes are now being transmitted in Wide formats 14:9 or 16:9 and films in wider formats known as Letterbox whilst many programmes are the traditional 4:3 picture ratio.
It is possible to identify that the transmission is 4:3, Letterbox or
Wide screen format (14:9 or 16:9), but it is difficult to tell the difference between 16:9 and 14:9.
You may choose to leave your Picture Format as Auto, your television will automatically fill the screen, but this may not always give you what you want. If so you can select from a range of picture formats. You can select the Picture Format option either through the Menu screen or by pressing the Wide button.
You can have direct access to the following picture controls,
Brightness, Contrast, Colour and Sharpness by pressing the 
/ OK button repeatedly.
