Picture Mode
Choose from Custom, Standard, Movie, Game, Vivid, Football, Golf, Basketball
and Baseball.
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.
