• Custom picture mode allows you to manually change each of the
picture settings:
Backlight - Adjusts the LED brightness to affect the overall
brilliance of the picture. This option is not available unless Ambient
Light Sensor is set to OFF. See Adjusting the Picture Size and
Position on page 17 .
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 high, the picture may appear dark. When this setting is too
low, 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.
Color - Adjusts the intensity of the picture colors.
Tint - Adjusts the hue of the picture. This setting is useful in
adjusting the flesh tones in the picture. If flesh appears too orange,
reduce the level of color before adjusting tint.
Sharpness - Adjusts the edge sharpness of picture elements. It can
be used to sharpen non-HD (high definition) content; however, it will
not produce detail that does not otherwise exist.
