Eco navigation (Eco-Navi)

Why does my picture look dim and/or sometimes changes brightness

levels?

●

This TV is equipped with a money saving feature called Eco-Navigation or

Eco-Navi. The TV automatically dims the brightness to save energy. It also

puts the picture in “Standard” mode and enables the C.A.T.S. feature so

it will adjust the picture brightness automatically depending on the rooms

ambient lighting conditions. This mode will also turn the TV power off if no

signal is detected for 10 minutes.

●
