IRIS™ is the Intelligent Room Illumi- nation (light) Sensor. When IRIS™ is on, your TV will automatically adjust pic- ture contrast and brightness for best quality (Contrast and Brightness cannot be adjusted manually).

Contrast provides a slider to adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast shows darker images more uniformly black and makes colors appear more vibrant.

Brightness provides a slider to adjust the overall brightness of the picture.

Sharpness provides a slider to adjust the detail and clarity.

Color provides a slider to adjust the color intensity.

Tint provides a slider to adjust the pro- portion of red to green.

Color Temp (Color Temperature) allows you to adjust how white images are dis- played. Your choices are:

Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images will have a warm cast to them. This adjust- ment is an average and can vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene bright- ness and the TV’s age. The Low 6500K represents the 6500K industry standard for NTSC (non-DTV) pictures.

Medium: White images will be balanced between the Low (warm) and High (cool) settings.

High: White images will have a cool cast to them. This setting may provide the most realistic picture under bright lighting.

Video Noise reduces minor noise (grain- iness) in the broadcast or input signal.

Image Type maximizes the original camera media: Video or Film. Video media uses a video camera and is cre- ated at 30 frames per second. Film media uses a lmc ame r a and i scr eat ed at 24 frames per second. Examples of Video media are live TV broadcast such as news, special events, or video taped programs. Examples of lmme di aar e motion pictures, made-for-TV movies, and many prime time programs. Filmed media is converted by the broadcaster or home video company to 30 frames per second to match TV or video stan- dards. This conversion can leave subtle “picture artifacts” or conversion errors. Setting the Image Type to Film can reduce the picture artifacts and improve the picture quality, when viewing a 480i image.
