RCA L32WD12 manual Advanced picture settings not available on VGA

Tip:

If the picture is switching screen formats abruptly during normal TV viewing, switch the Automatic format feature off.

Picture presets (not available on VGA) Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset picture settings: Vibrant, Cinematic, Natural, Sports, Videogame, Video camera or Personal. Choose the setting that is best for your viewing environment.

Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.

Color Adjusts the richness of the color.

Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the picture.

Black expand (not available on VGA) Makes the picture appear brighter by deepening the black parts of the picture: Low, Medium or High.

Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; or Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 6500 K.

Sharpness (not available on VGA) Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.

Noise reduction (not available on VGA) Reduces picture “static” or any type of interference. This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between: Off for no noise reduction; Low for a softer, smoother picture that retains picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the Low setting; High for an even softer, smoother picture than the other settings (the picture detail is somewhat decreased).

When you change any of these picture settings, the Picture Preset changes to Personal. Use the left or right arrow button to make adjustments. To return to the Picture menu, press the up or down arrow button.

Advanced picture settings (not available on VGA)

Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were originally recorded on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original. Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.

Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV detects that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is the default setting.

The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV is used solely with film-based sources (like DVDs on a non-progressive-scan player).

The Off setting turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in your picture.

Tint Adjusts the balance between red and green levels.

Automatic format When enabled (box checked) the TV automatically detects the screen format the signal is sending for each channel, as well as input channels.

Note: Automatic format and Video noise reduction are available for the CMP1 input only if the signal is 480i.
