The BigVizion is designed for use in a wide variety of rooms and lighting situations– from dark theater environments to standard daylight viewing. Your BigVizion has optional advanced calibration modes certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). ISF modes are designed to calibrate your BigVizion for maximum picture performance for both Day and Night viewing. ISF modes require optional calibration; consult your installation professional for additional information. Your installer can also create custom picture settings based on individual preference, which you can then save as a “favorite.” These settings are accessible by selecting the “User 1,” “User 2” or “User 3” buttons on the remote. Work with your installation professional in setting up these favorite modes. Changing Aspect Ratios: Aspect ratio is the definition for the dimensions of your image.
