Picture Presets displays a choice list that lets you select one of the four preset picture settings: Vibrant, Natural, Cinematic, and Personal.

Choose your setting based on the degree of lighting in your room. After you select a setting, the contrast, color, tint, black level and sharpness and color warmth settings found under the Picture Settings menu are adjusted automatically.

If you choose Personal Picture Preset, you can customize color, tint, black level, and sharpness to your desired level, and the TV saves those settings. After you’ve done this, you can go back into the menu and select Vibrant, Natural, Cinematic, or Personal. For example, if you normally use Personal Picture Preset but want to watch a show in Vibrant lighting, you can choose Vibrant, watch the show, and then afterwards return to your customized settings by choosing Personal Picture Preset.
