•Game mode optimizes the picture settings for displaying game console output.

•Football, Golf, Basketball, and Baseball modes optimize the picture settings for their respective sports. Also try these modes for other sports.

•Custom picture mode allows you to manually change each of the picture settings:

Backlight - Adjusts the brightness to affect the overall brilliance of the picture. This option is not available unless Ambient Light Sensor is set to OFF. See on page 21.

Brightness - Adjusts the black level of the picture. When this setting is too low, the picture may be too dark to distinguish details. When this setting is too high, the picture may appear faded or washed out.

Contrast - Adjusts the white level of the picture. When this setting is too high, the picture may appear dark. When this setting is too low, the picture may appear faded or washed out. If the setting is too high or too low, detail may be difficult to distinguish in dark or bright areas of the picture.

Color - Adjusts the intensity of the picture colors.

Tint - Adjusts the hue of the picture. This setting is useful in adjusting the flesh tones in the picture. If flesh appears too orange, reduce the level of color before adjusting tint.

Sharpness - Adjusts the edge sharpness of picture elements. It can be used to sharpen non-HD (high definition) content; however, it will not produce detail that does not otherwise exist.
