Your television has several setting options that allow you to
control the picture quality.
Backlight
Adjusts the brightness of LCD back light.
Contrast
Increases or decreases the brightness in white areas of the
picture. Too little contrast and the picture may seem dark;
too much contrast and the picture will lose details in white
images.
Brightness
Increases or decreases the overall brightness of the
picture, but best used to adjust the black level of the image.
Too little brightness and shadow detail will be lost; too much
brightness and blacks will be gray and washed out.
Sharpness
Increases or decreases the apparent detail in the picture.
Too little sharpness and the image might look soft. Too
much sharpness can add false edges to objects or can
make noise more noticeable.
Colour
Increases or decreases colour saturation levels in the
picture. Too little colour and the image will be black and
white (undersaturated); too much colour and the image will
look oversaturated and cartoonish.
Tint(G/R)
Changes the picture hue from reddish to a greenish
appearance.

most commonly used for watching movies with dark scenes
to keep the picture from appearing washed out in bright
rooms.

brightest and darkest portions of the image with changing
scenes. Shadows are more visible with dark scenes, while
