Picture
Mode
There are
no
standards for
what
these modes do,
and
the names vary considerably.
Generally
if
there
is
a
"Movie"
or
"Cinema''
setting, that
is
the one to use.
On
some displays, the "Movie"
or
"Cinema"
mode
is
preset
and
locks
out
all the
other
picture controls. In
that
case,
or
if
there
is
no
"Movie"
or
"Cinema"
mode, try
using "Custom," "Normal"
or
"Standard." Avoid anything
that
sound
like it makes
the picture extra-bold, like "Vivid"
or
"Dynamic",
or
modes
that
sound
like they're
optimized for a single purpose like "Sports"
or
"Game".
Advanced Video Modes
For the
most
part, we recommend
turning
special picture
"enhancement" modes
off. They are usually optimized for low-quality video
and
bright environments,
and
actually will
harm
the picture quality
of
high-quality video like Blu-ray Discs
when
watching in a low-light environment.
