Adjusting the Picture Quality

Your TV offers three color modes (preset picture settings) that let you quickly adjust the picture for various lighting environments and image types. After selecting a suitable color mode, you can fine-tune the picture by adjusting its brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, tint, black level, color temperature, and screen position. You can also create two custom color modes that let you quickly adjust the picture for special viewing needs.

Color modes and picture quality adjustments are saved independently for each image source. Before changing settings, select the source you want to adjust (for example, HDTV tuner or DVD player) and display a picture. After you finish adjusting the settings for this source, switch to each additional source you’ll be viewing and make any desired adjustments.
