Picture Presets
Picture Presets
displays a choice list that lets you select one of the four preset
picture settings: Vibrant, Natural, Cinematic, and Personal.
Choose your setting based on the degree of lighting in your room. After you
select a setting, the contrast, color, tint, black level and sharpness and color
warmth settings found under the

If you choose Personal Picture Preset , you can customize color, tint, black level,
and sharpness to your desired level, and the TV saves those settings. After
you’ve done this, you can go back into the menu and select
Vibrant, Natural ,
Cinematic, or Personal . For example, if you normally use Personal Picture
Preset but want to watch a show in Vibrant lighting, you can choose Vibrant ,
watch the show, and then afterwards return to your customized settings by
choosing
Personal Picture Preset .
