Picture modes for different types of signals

The picture modes available for different types of signals are listed below.

2.Presentation mode: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to match PC and notebook coloring. For Video input signals, this mode is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living room lighting level environment.

3.Normal mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos and for viewing PC graphic and drawing applications such as AutoCAD. For Video input signals, this mode is appropriate for viewing colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras or DVs.

4.Theater mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) environment. For Video input signals, this mode is suitable for enjoying dark movies or DVD movies best viewed in a blackened (little light) home cinema or lounge room environment.
