Adjusting TV settings
You can adjust most picture and sound settings while you are watching a program by pressing []. If
you don’t find what you need, there are additional picture and sound settings in the Settings menu.
In most cases, the setting changes you make apply only to the input you are using. Antenna TV, each
separate HDMI input, and the AV input each has its own settings that the TV remembers when you
return to that input. The TV also remembers the settings that you specify while viewing streaming
content.
Settings menu
Use the Settings menu to adjust overall TV settings. Press to go to the Home screen, and then
navigate to Settings > TV picture settings.
You can adjust the following overall TV picture settings from the Settings screen:
• TV brightness – If the lighting level in your TV room changes, use this setting to help provide a
better viewing experience; set to darker for a darker room, and brighter for a brighter room.
Choose among Normal and four other settings to make the overall picture brighter or darker. So
that you don’t have to make this type of change for each TV input one at a time, this setting
increases or decreases the TV’s general brightness across all TV inputs. This setting is identical to
the TV brightness setting you can access in the Options menu while watching a program.
• 120 Hz – Available in certain models. Enables a higher picture refresh rate.
o On – the TV uses a higher refresh rate, which produces less motion blur.
o Off – the TV uses a standard 60Hz refresh rate, which produces more motion blur.
Note: The 120 Hz setting is also available in each input’s Options menu, but is not an input-
specific setting. The current setting of the control applies to all inputs.
• Settings per input – This section of options lists each TV input. Select an input to switch to that
input. Then press [] to display the Options menu, where you can adjust the input’s settings
while watching a live picture and listening to the sound from that input.
Tip: You don’t have to go to the Settings menu first—you can display an input’s Options
menu and adjust its settings whenever you are watching the input by pressing [].
Options menu
The Options menu for each TV input provides settings for controlling the appearance of the picture and
the quality of the audio.
