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.
