Using the TV’s Menu System

Video noise reduction Allows you to choose a setting to reduce picture “static” or any type of interference. It 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; Minimum for a softer, smoother picture and retains picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the Minimum setting; Maximum for an even softer, smoother picture than the other settings. However, the picture detail is somewhat decreased.

Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for DVI, CMP1 and CMP2 inputs if the signal is 480i.

Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset picture settings: Movie, Videogame, Personal, Sports, Ideal, Showroom or Video Camera. 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.

Sharpness Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.

Note: You can adjust sharpness for each channel. This is useful if channels appear fuzzy.

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; and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 6500 K.

Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.

Note: Tint not available for DVI, CMP1 and CMP2 inputs.
