Picture 
Picture Mode  
Choose from Standard, Movie, Game, Vivid, Football, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and 
Custom. Each input (i.e. HDMI, COMP, etc) remembers the custom setting you created. 
Backlight  
The backlight level adjusts the lamp current and this affects the 
overall brilliance of the picture but does not affect the Brightness 
(black level) or Contrast (white level) of the picture. 
Brightness  
The brightness adjusts the black levels in the picture. If the 
brightness is too low you will not be able to see the detail in darker 
parts of the picture and if the brightness is too high the picture will 
look washed out. 
Contrast  
The contrast adjusts the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is 
too low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too 
high you will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a 
picture. 
Color  
Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture. 
Tint  
The tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and 
adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s 
faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first. 
Sharpness  
The sharpness adjustment 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 
(Standard Definition) sources. 
Size & Position  
Note: Size & Position option can only be selected when your HDTV is in Comp or HDMI mode. 
• Horiz. Position: Adjust the horizontal position of the picture.  
• Vertical Position: Adjust the vertical position of the picture. 
• Horizontal Size: Adjust the horizontal size of the picture. 
• Vertical Size: Adjust the vertical size of the picture. 
Color Temperature  
Color Temperature is the “warmness” or “coolness” of the white areas of the picture. 
• Color Temperature Choose from Cool, Computer, Normal, or Custom. Cool produces 
a blue-hued image. Computer sets the white point at the established setting for a PC 
display (9300K). Normal is the setting for television broadcasting. Custom allows you to 
set a preset calibrated for a white point to suit individual preferences: 
o Red Gain 
o Green Gain 
o Blue Gain 
o Red Offset 
o Green Offset 
o Blue Offset 
• Reset Color Temperature: Select to reset color temperature settings to factory default.
