etc) remembers the custom setting you created.
Backlight
The backlight level adjusts the lamp current and this affects the overall
brilliance of the picture but does not affect the Brightness (black level)
or Contrast (white level) of the picture.
Brightness
The brightness adjusts the black levels in the picture. If the brightness
is too low you will not be able to see the detail in darker parts of the
picture and if the brightness is too high the picture will look washed out.
Contrast
The contrast adjusts the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is too
low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too high you
will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture.
Color
Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture.
Tint
The tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and
adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s
faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first.
Sharpness
The sharpness adjustment adjusts the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does
not produce detail that otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is helpful when viewing
(Standard Definition) sources.
