black level (ie changing the gamma) at low levels. This is

 

most commonly used for watching movies with dark scenes

 

to keep the picture from appearing washed out in bright

 

rooms.

Only analogue TV, Ext., AV modes of the PAL system, you cannot use the Tint(G/R) Function.

When you make changes to Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Colour or Tint(G/ R), the OSD will be adjusted accordingly.

In PC mode, you can only make changes to Backlight, Contrast and Brightness.

Settings can be adjusted and stored for each external device you have connected to an input of the TV.

The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the brightness level of the picture is lowered, which will reduce the overall running cost.
