PICTURE FEATURES

DIGITAL VNR (video noise reduction)

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of
noise (interference or snowing) in the original picture.
You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function
settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.
AUTO:
The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL
VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture,
giving you the best possible picture.
• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make
the picture less sharp. We recommend you use the
AUTO setting if you can.
MIN:
The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the
minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO
but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not
been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to
MIN.
• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-quality pictures
which contain a lot of noise.
MAX:
The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the
maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO
but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO
to MAX.
• The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures
which contain very little noise.
DigiPure Pro
The DigiPure Pro function uses the latest in digital
technology to give you a natural-looking picture. The
DigiPure Pro function includes the following two functions.
DigiPure function:
This function helps to create a natural-looking picture by
eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp
images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to
produce a sharper, more detailed picture.
You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of
AUTO, MIN and MAX.
• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality
picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually
make the noise worse. We recommend you use the
AUTO setting if you can.
Picture motion compensation function:
This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example,
the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and
naturally on the screen.
• The effect level of the picture motion compensation
function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same
no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is
used.
