the detail in darker parts of the picture and if the brightness is
too high the picture will look washed out.

the contrast is too high you will not be able to see any detail in
the bright parts of a picture.
3. Saturation – This option setting adjusts the amount of
color in the picture.
4. Hue – This option adjusts the hue of the picture. The
easiest way to set hue is to look at flesh tones and adjust for
a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle
position is correct.
5. Sharpness – This option setting adjusts the sharpness of
the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce
detail that otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is
helpful when viewing SD (Standard Definition) sources, as it
provides only contour peaking, and should be at a low
setting with HD sources.
6. Backlight – Backlight adjusts the overall brilliance of the
picture. It does not affect the Brightness (black level) or
Contrast (white level) of the picture. If DCR is activated,
backlight adjustment is not available.

white levels in the picture.

saturation of the image being displayed on the screen.

“warmness” or “coolness” of the white areas of the
picture. Adjust your HDTV color temperature
preferences: Cool, PC, Normal and Custom are the
choices. Custom allows adjusting the Red, Green, and
Blue color levels.
10. DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) - DCR (Dynamic
Contrast Ratio) automatically adjusts the contrast
between brighter and darker scenes. When activated,
adjustment of the Backlight is not available.
