The following options are available in the Picture menu:
1. Ambient Light Sensor –This feature allows to adjust the
backlight level accordingly to the amount surrounding ambient
lightening. It is default to Off.
2. Picture Mode - Select Home, Movie, Retail, Game, Custom.
3. 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 or Ambient Light
Sensor is activated, backlight adjustment is not available.
4. Brightness – This option 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.
5. Contrast – This option 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.
6. Color – This option will help the overall color saturation of
the image being displayed on the screen.
7. Tint – 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.
8. 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.
9. Noise Reduction – This option diminishes picture artifacts
caused by the digitizing of moving images, the settings being
Off, Low, Medium and High.
10. Color Temperature – Color Temperature is the
“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.
11. Color Enhancement – This option enhances the white levels in the picture.
12. Adaptive Luma – Large areas of brightness in the picture will result in a higher Average
Picture Level (APL) and the overall picture will look too light. This option will lower the
APL to counteract this effect.
13. 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.
14. Smooth Motion tm – This feature suppresses motion judder. Judder is often observed as a
‘stuttering” of the image when the camera pans across a scene, or there is horizontal motion in
