Warning: Do not leave stationary, toolbar, or partial images on-screen
for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown.
Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
The VGA capability of this television is
designed for occasional use ONLY.
It is not meant to be used as a work station
or to view static or odd-shaped images for
an extended period of time. Any device
connected to your television via the VGA
port, including, but not limited to, personal
computer, game system, or digital set-top
box, must have its screen saver function
activated to prevent damage to the televi-
sion. We DO NOT recommend the use of
any external device that does not have a
screen saver function with this television.
We recommend that screen saver acti-
vation time be set to less than _e
minutes and that when using a device
through the VGA port, you use lower
brightness and contrast settings. If
your computer programs allow, tool-
bars should be set to hidden mode.
Please remember that most computer pro-
grams and video game systems display
static images, such as boxes, buttons, tool
bars, and games scores that can damage
the television if used for extended periods
of time, repeatedly, or frequently. The VGA
Input will automatically select the "Stan-
dard" screen format and II tie screen.
No other formats are available with the
VGA Input. Standard television overscan
is used, so VGA images will be cropped
on all sides. Resizing of some displays
may be required. Consult your owner's
manual for computers, computer programs
and game systems for assistance with
resizing display images. Please see page
58 for an explaination of uneven picture
aging.

IRIS TM is the Intelligent Room Illumi-

on, your TV will automatically adjust pic-
ture contrast and brightness for best
quality (Contrast and Brightness cannot
be adjusted manually).
[]
Contrast provides a slider to adjust
the white-to-black level. Low contrast
shows a variety of shades in darker
images, while high contrast shows
darker images more uniformly black and
makes colors appear more vibrant.
[] Brightness provides a slider to adjust
the overall brightness of the picture.
[] Sharpness provides a slider to adjust
the detail and clarity.
[] Color provides a slider to adjust the
color intensity.
[] Tint provides a slider to adjust the pro-
portion of red to green.
[] Color Temp (Color Temperature) allows
you to adjust how white images are dis-
played. Your choices are:
• Low 6500K or Low (for DTV): White images
will have a warm cast to them. This adjust-
ment is an average and can vary due to
ambient room lighting, video scene bright-
ness and the TV's age. The Low 6500K
represents the 6500K industry standard for
NTSC (non-DTV) pictures.
• Medium: White images will be balanced
between the Low (warm) and High (cool)
settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast
to them. This setting may provide the most
realistic picture under bright lighting.
[] Video Noise reduces minor noise (grain-
iness) in the broadcast or input signal.
[] Image Type maximizes the original
camera media: Video or Film. Video
media uses a video camera and is cre-
ated at 30 frames per second. Film
media uses a Irrc arre r aand i scr eat ed
at 24 frames per second. Examples of
Video media are live TV broadcast such
as news, special events, or video taped
programs. Examples of Irane di aar e
motion pictures, made-for-TV movies,
and many prime time programs. Filmed
media is converted by the broadcaster
or home video company to 30 frames
per second to match TV or video stan-
dards. This conversion can leave subtle
"picture artifacts" or conversion errors.
Setting the Image Type to Film can
reduce the picture artifacts and improve
the picture quality, when viewing a 480i
image.
