Advanced picture settings menu options
•
Picture mode
– Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates
the one on the
Options
menu. When you change the
Picture mode
, other picture settings adjust
accordingly. For example, setting the
Picture mode
to
Vivid
sets
Brightness
,
Contrast
,
Sharpness
, and other values to produce a very vibrant picture. Setting
Picture mode
to
Movie
changes these same settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying movies in a darkened
room. If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example,
Contrast
, or
Sharpness
—these settings are saved for the current input
and
the current picture mode. In this
way, the
HDMI 1
input’s
Movie
picture mode can be customized and different than the
HDMI 2
input’s
Movie
picture mode and Antenna TV’s
Movie
picture mode. Use
Reset picture settings
,
described below, to return the input’s current picture mode to its original values.
