CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image. For Fixed-pixel displays, adjust contrast until there is a distinct definition between the two brightest bars. NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to '0' or very close to it. (see below)
SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if adjusted too high.
