Picture Menu

The Picture menu options apply to the video for the main TV and video input selections.

Advanced picture settings

Contrast expand Adjusts the contrast of the picture according to the light of the room. Press the right arrow to choose between Low, Medium or High.

Picture rotation (Available only on model D34W20) Your TV has an extra large picture tube that makes it vulnerable to the effects of the Earth’s magnetic field. Press the down arrow to highlight Picture rotation, then press the left or right arrow to adjust the picture rotation.

SVM (Scan Velocity Modulation) Improves the sharpness of the picture by changing the speed of the cathode-ray tube’s electron beam when it transitions between dark and light areas of the screen. Choose to have it on (box checked) or off (box unchecked), depending on your preference.

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

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.

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.

Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.

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

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.
