Picture

Picture Mode

Choose from Standard, Movie, Game, Vivid, Football, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and Custom. Each input (i.e. HDMI, AV, etc) remembers the custom setting you created.

Backlight

The backlight level adjusts the lamp current and this affects the overall brilliance of the picture but does not affect the Brightness (black level) or Contrast (white level) of the picture.

Brightness

The brightness adjusts the black levels in the picture. If the brightness is too low you will not be able to see the detail in darker parts of the picture and if the brightness is too high the picture will look washed out.

Contrast

The contrast adjusts the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is too low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too high you will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture.

Color

Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture.

Tint

The tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first.

Sharpness

The sharpness adjustment adjusts the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce detail that otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is helpful when viewing (Standard Definition) sources.

Size & Position

∙Horiz. Position: Adjust the horizontal position of the picture.

∙Vertical Position: Adjust the vertical position of the picture.

Color Temperature

Color Temperature is the “warmness” or “coolness” of the white areas of the picture.

Normal is the setting for television broadcasting. Custom allows you to set a preset calibrated for a white point to suit individual preferences:

o Red Gain o Green Gain o Blue Gain o Red Offset o Green Offset o Blue Offset
