Video Settings

AUDIO/VIDEO Setting Descriptions: Video

Contrast

Provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast shows darker images more uniformly black and makes colors appear more vibrant.

Brightness

Provides a slider to adjust the overall brightness of the picture.

Sharpness

Provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

Color

Provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

Tint

Provides a slider to adjust the proportion of red to green.

Color Temp (Color Temperature)

Allows you to adjust how white images are displayed. Your choices are:

•Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images will have a warm cast to them. This adjustment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene brightness and the TV’s age. The Low 6500K represents the 6500K industry standard for NTSC (non- DTV) pictures.

•Medium: White images will be balanced between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.

•High: White images will have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

Video Noise

Reduces minor noise (graininess) in the broadcast or input signal.

This function operates only in 480i mode.

Film Mode (Automatic)

Video media uses a video camera created at 30 frames per second. Film media uses a film camera created at 24 frames per second. Examples of video media are live TV broadcast such as news, special events, or video taped programs. Examples of film media are motion pictures, made-for-TV movies, and many prime time programs. Filmed media is converted by the broadcaster or home video company to 30 frames per second to match TV or video standards. This conversion can leave subtle “picture artifacts” or conversion errors. The settings are On and Off. If you select On, the system automatically detects if the signal source is Film and corrects for conversion errors. If you select Off, the system will never correct for conversion errors.

This function operates only in 480i mode.

NOTE: A slider will display on-screen for each setting. The slider has a numeric value, where  is the maximum, the mid-range is  and the minimum setting is .

NOTE: For optimal picture performance, it is recommended that you adjust your video settings (specifically contrast and brightness) during initial setup. Certain factors will affect your personal preferences, including room lighting, glare reflections and viewing angles/distance. This also slows phosphor aging.
