60 Using the TV Features
Adjusting the Picture Quality
Your TV offers three display types (color modes) that are optimized for different room
lighting and the picture types. You can also create two custom display types to fine-tune the
picture even further.
The color mode you set with the menus is the default mode you want to use whenever you
turn on the TV. To change the mode while you’re watching a program, use the Color button
on the remote control. See page 38.
In addition to the display types, you can individually adjust the brightness, contrast,
sharpness, saturation, tint, black level, color temperature, and screen position settings.
If you’ve connected two different types of component video equipment, you may need to
optimize the color quality for equipment you’re watching. See page 62 for instructions.
