Picture Quality Menu
The Picture Quality menu contains menus to configure video settings: Picture
Settings, Picture Presets, Auto Color, Color Warmth, Noise Reduction, Green
Stretch, Edge Enhancement, Contrast Expand, and Advanced Settings. Each one
is described below.
Note: When changing an item in the Picture Quality menu, the graphics
become transparent so you can see how your adjustments affect the picture.
To access the Picture Quality menu:
1. Press MENU on the remote control (the Main Menu appears).
2. Highlight Picture Quality and press OK (the Picture Quality options appear).
Each is described below.
Note: When making Picture Quality changes, inputs are all adjusted
independent of each other. Digital cable and antenna channels are
adjusted independent of analog cable and antenna channels.
Picture Settings
The Picture Settings menu displays five slider controls for adjusting the way the
picture looks. Your options under the Picture Settings menu are:
Contrast Difference between the light and dark areas of the picture.
Color The richness of the color.
Tint The balance between the red and green levels.
Black Level The brightness of the picture.
Sharpness The crispness of the edges in the picture.
To create picture settings for the video inputs:
1. Press the INPUT button while in the Picture Settings menu until the correct
Video Input Channel appears in the upper right corner.
2. Press the right and left arrow buttons on the remote control to select the
slider.
3. Press the up and down arrow buttons to operate the slider.
Picture Presets
Picture Presets displays a choice list that lets you select one of the six preset
picture settings: Vibrant (Day), Natural, Cinematic (Night), Videogame,
Professional, and Personal.
Choose your setting based on the degree of lighting in your room. After you
select a preset, the settings listed to the right are adjusted automatically.
If you choose Personal, you can customize each Picture Quality setting to your
desired level, and a message appears to asking if you want to save those settings.
After you’ve saved your personal settings, you can go back into the menu and
select a different picture preset. For example, if you normally use Personal but
want to watch a show in Vibrant (Day) lighting, choose Vibrant (Day), watch
the show, and then afterwards return to your customized settings by choosing
Personal. The PRESETS button on the remote works with Picture Presets. Go to
the Remote chapter for more information.
