Adjust Your HDTV Picture

After using the Setup Wizard, if you feel that your HDTV picture quality needs
improvement, you can adjust the HDTV picture display using options within the
Quick Settings and General Settings menus.
If you do not need to make an adjustment to your picture quality, skip this section
and go to "Making the Most of Your Entertainment Options" on page 12.

Adjust Your Picture Format Using Quick Settings

Because the picture quality of a program is affected by many factors, such as
how the program was originally recorded and the method used to broadcast the
program, you may find that displaying certain programs in a specific picture
format provides the picture quality you prefer.
Note: If your HDTV uses a composite, DVI, or HDMI port, it automatically selects
the best picture format for the program you are watching. DVI ports, however,
can choose only from the picture formats that your HDTV supports.
Follow these steps to change the picture format.
