ADJUSTING THE PICTURE SETTINGS

Your TV can be adjusted to suit your preferences and viewing conditions.

To adjust the picture mode settings:

Menu > Picture > Picture Mode

1. Use the Navigation buttons on the remote to highlight Picture Mode, then use the Left/Right Navigation buttons to change the picture mode:

• Vivid — Sets the picture settings to values that produce a brighter, more vivid picture.
• Bright — Sets the picture settings to values ideal for watching TV in a brightly-lit room.
• Calibrated — Sets the picture settings to the default settings.
• Calibrated Dark — Sets the picture settings to values ideal for watching TV in a dark room.
• Game — Reduces throughput delays and optimizes the picture settings for displaying game console output. Also the preferred picture mode for computer mode.
• Sports — Sets the picture settings to values ideal for watching sport events with motion control setting.

2. To manually change each of the picture settings, use the Up/Down Navigation buttons on the remote to highlight that picture setting, then use the Left/Right Navigation buttons to adjust the setting:

• Backlight (SDR content) or Tone Mapping (HDR content) — Adjusts the LED brightness to affect the overall brilliance of the picture.
• Brightness — Adjusts the black level of the picture. When this setting is too low, the picture may be too dark to distinguish details. When this setting is too high, the picture may appear faded or washed out.
• Contrast — Adjusts the white level of the picture. When this setting is too low, the picture may appear dark. When this setting is too high, the picture may appear faded or washed out. If the setting is too high or too low, detail may be difficult to distinguish in dark or bright areas of the picture.

• Wide — Stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio to fill 16:9 screen. If a 16:9 image, adds black bars to top and bottom.
• Zoom — Expands image both horizontally and vertically by 14%.
• Stretch* — When the 16:9 signal is a 4:3 image with black bars left and right, stretches to fill the screen.

Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the screen so that the picture keeps its original shape. Examples include widescreen movies and older TV programs.
