Contrast: Refer to Contrast on page 55.

Brightness: Refer to Brightness on page 54.

Color: Refer to Color Saturation on page 55.

Tint: Refer to Tint on page 56.

Sharpness: Refer to Sharpness on page 57.

Color Temp.: To adjust the color temperature, select Color Temp. from the Picture

Adjust menu. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”) Press or to select

5500, 6500, 7500, 8500, 9300 or 10500. In most cases, 6500 or 7500 will produce the

most realistic colors. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones cause the

image to appear more red.

White Balance: Select White Balance from the Picture Adjust menu to choose a white

balance preset (or “gamma curve”) to store in the currently-selected picture memory. For

more information on white balance presets, refer to White Balance on page 70.

RVR: Iris: Select RVR: Iris from the Picture Adjust menu to increase or decrease the

Reflectance Volume Regulation setting. RVR lets you control the aperture or iris size (the

physical opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you

to optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the

viewing area.

Select High Brightness or Theater for rooms with lots of ambient light. Select CRT

Emulation for more “theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Picture Adjust menu to adjust the lamp

output level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (220W; this is the

default setting) or you can choose the lower setting (180W). Generally, lower lamp output

can prolong the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.

Picture Adjust (Advanced) To access advanced picture quality settings, select Advanced from the Picture Adjust

menu. This sub-menu presents the following options:

ICC: Select ICC from the Advanced Picture Adjust menu to customize the displayed color

space. The adjustments you make here are stored in the currently-selected “Picture

Memory“ preset.

For each of the six primary colors – red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta – you can

adjust the following:

•Hue: These slidebars adjust the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of

video signals. For best results, adjust the hue while displaying an external color bar test

pattern (Figure 4-4).

Changing the hue of a primary color affects the gamut (range) of possible colors. For

example, changing the value for red moves the color closer to either yellow or magenta,

which in turn affects all displayed colors having a red component.
