Ambilight menu

Ambilight is an innovative lighting concept using light with fully adjustable colours at the back of the TV to enhance the viewing experience. Analysis of the picture content adapts the colours continuously, or the lights can be set to any fixed colour and many shades of white. Ambilight creates the ideal viewing environment for your TV resulting in improved relaxed viewing, improved perceived picture detail, contrast and colour.

In standby mode the lights can be set/operated to any colour and create a unique ambiance in the room.
