Video Adjust menu

Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below.

 

Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1920 × 1200.

 

Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images.

 

Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes.

 

PC input: sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.

 

Wide mode

 

stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

entire screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion,

 

 

 

 

 

while widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with

 

 

 

 

 

black bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire

 

 

 

 

 

screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoom mode

 

crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

entire screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms

 

 

 

 

the image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and

 

 

 

 

right sides of the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1:1 mode

preserves the movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast

 

 

 

 

 

 

or full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image.

 

 

 

PC input: Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on

 

 

 

the left and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the

 

 

 

image (depends on resolution).

 

 

 

Panoramic mode

uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode

 

 

 

 

stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the

 

 

 

 

image distortion free.

 

 

 

 

Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of noise and motion from the video source.

Film Mode Detection—Film Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the frame rate of the display for ultimate image quality. Bad Edit Detection and Correction corrects incorrectly synchronized video.

Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI for optimized video performance.

DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines. Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as unintentional flashing colors or rainbow patterns, that result from composite video signals.

MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static (flicker-free) display image for image sections not containing moving elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements.
