• Normal mode—for watching most programs in average lighting conditions.

• Vivid mode—for watching TV shows and for bright lighting.
• Studio mode—for professional studios and calibration labs.
You can also customize the picture modes so they are best for your video sources:

3. Adjust the settings until you are satisfied with the picture.

Adjusting the Size of the Picture
Video images come in several different sizes, depending on the video content and the source device. If a
picture does not fit the shape of your TV screen, you have a few choices: shrink the picture to fit the screen
with black bars filling the unused space, zoom the picture to fill the screen, or stretch the picture to fill the
screen.
S Press Aspect one or more times to find the size and shape you like best. For some options, some parts
