automatic color adjustments:

If you choose
Personal Picture Preset
, you
can customize color, tint, black level, and
sharpness to your desired level, and the
television “saves” those settings. After
you’ve done this, it allows you to go back
into the menu and select
Bright, Normal,
or
Soft Lighting
when you need to
without losing your customized settings.
For example, if you normally use
Personal
Picture Preset
but wanted to watch a
show in Bright Lighting, choose
Bright
Lighting
, watch the show, and then
afterwards return to your customized
settings by choosing
Personal Picture
Preset
again.
