Advanced picture settings menu options
• Picture mode – Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates
the one on the Options menu. When you change the Picture mode, other picture settings adjust
accordingly. For example, setting the Picture mode to Vivid sets Brightness, Contrast,
Sharpness, and other values to produce a very vibrant picture. Setting Picture mode to Movie
changes these same settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying movies in a darkened
room. If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example, Contrast, or
Sharpness—these settings are saved for the current input and the current picture mode. In this
way, the HDMI 1 input’s Movie picture mode can be different than the HDMI 2 input’s Movie
picture mode and Antenna TV’s Movie picture mode. Use Reset picture settings, described
below, to return the input’s current picture mode to its original values.
• Backlight - Adjusts the overall brightness of the screen.
• Brightness – Adjusts the dark level of the black areas of the picture.
• Contrast – Adjusts the white level of the light areas of the picture.
• Sharpness – Adjusts the sharpness of the edges of objects in the picture.
• Color – Adjusts the intensity of colors in the picture. A setting of 0 removes all color and displays
a black and white picture.
• Tint – Adjusts the color balance from green to red to obtain accurate colors in the picture.
• Color temperature – Adjusts the overall colors in the picture from Normal to slightly more
bluish (Cool) to slightly more reddish (Warm).
• Picture size – Adjusts the aspect ratio of the picture, enabling you to view a picture in its original
format, or zoom or stretch it to fill the screen. The Auto setting produces the best picture in
most cases.
• Game mode – Controls whether ‘Game’ mode is on or off. When On, the TV performs less
image processing and has less input lag. When Off, the TV performs more image processing and
has more input lag, which is less desirable for action games. Available only for HDMI inputs.
• Reset picture settings – Returns all picture settings for the input’s currently-selected Picture
mode to their original values.
Tip: To dismiss the Advanced picture settings menu, just wait a few seconds without pressing
