Video noise reduction Reduce picture “static” or any type of interference.
This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak
analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between: Off for
no noise reduction; Minimum for a softer, smoother picture that retains
picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the
Minimum setting; Maximum for an even softer, smoother picture than the
other settings (the picture detail is somewhat decreased).
Optimized still picture When enabled (box checked), enhances the picture
specically for still frames (for example, if you're watching a slideshow on
your HDTV monitor, or if you've paused a frame of a DVD).
Auto Skin Tone When enabled (box checked), minimizes the esh tone
variations of the TV picture.
Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were
originally recorded on lm (like most movies) and subsequently converted
to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes
the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original.
Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.
Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV
detects that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is
the default setting.
The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV
is used solely with lm-based sources (like DVDs on a non-progressive-
scan player).
The Off setting turns off lm mode upconversion. Try using this
setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in
your picture.
Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for CMP1 and
CMP2 inputs only if the signal is 480i.
Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset
picture settings: Vibrant, Cinematic, Natural, Sports, Videogame, Video Camera
or Personal. Choose the setting that is best for your viewing environment. You
can set a different picture preset for each input (including one for your regular
TV channels).
Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.
Color Adjusts the richness of the color.
Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the
picture.
Sharpness Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.
Note: You can adjust sharpness for each channel and input. This is useful if
the signal appears fuzzy.
Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic
color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; or
Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to
the NTSC standard of 6500 K.
Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.
When you change any of these picture settings, the Picture Preset changes to
Personal. Use the left or right arrow button to make adjustments. To return to
the Picture menu, press the up or down arrow button.
Tip:
You can select a different picture preset (or
set up a different personal preset) for each
input. The ANTENNA/CABLE jack counts as a
single input.
