White Level/Black Level

Image ! Picture Quality ! Input Adjustment ! White Level/Black Level

Adjust the White Level so that details in the brightest parts of the image are not washed out. Then adjust the Black Level so that shadow-level details are still visible in the darkest parts of the image.

If you cannot access the White Level and Black Level settings, highlight Input Adjustment (the first item in the menu list) and press the button, then choose White Level/Black Level in the sub-menu.

Sharpness and Picture Quality Settings

If the image looks fuzzy, or if it contains noise or flickering, you can use these settings to correct it.

Sharpness

Image ! Picture Quality ! Sharpness

Use this function to make lines and edges appear more distinct in the image.

Progressive

Setting ! Advanced ! Progressive

Leave this setting off (in interlaced mode) when viewing images containing a lot of movement, such as videos and DVDs. If you notice horizontal lines or flickering when viewing still images (such as computer graphics or digital camera photos) or when pausing videos, turn the setting on to convert interlaced mode to progressive.

Noise Reduction

Setting ! Advanced ! Noise Reduction

Leave this setting off, unless viewing images from a weak signal with a lot of noise. Turning the setting on suppresses interference and makes images appear softer (available only if the image source is set to Video or S-Video).
