Color Temp (Color Temperature)
Allows you to adjust how white images are
displayed. Your choices are:
• Low: White images will have a warm cast to
them. This adjustment is an average and can
vary due to ambient room lighting, video scene
brightness and the TV’s age.
• Medium: White images will be balanced
between the Low (warm) and High (cool)
settings.
• High: White images will have a cool cast to
them. This setting may provide the most
realistic picture under bright lighting.
Video Noise
Reduces minor noise (graininess) in the
broadcast or input signal.
This function operates only in 480i mode.
Film Mode (Auto)
Video media uses a video camera created at 30 frames
per second. Film media uses a film camera created
at 24 frames per second. Examples of video media
are live TV broadcast such as news, special events, or
video taped programs. Examples of film media are
motion pictures, made-for-TV movies, and many
prime time programs. Filmed media is converted by
the broadcaster or home video company to 30 frames
per second to match TV or video standards. This
conversion can leave subtle “picture artifacts” or
conversion errors.
The settings are On and Off. If you select On, the
system automatically detects if the signal source is Film
and corrects for conversion errors. If you select Off,
the system will never correct for conversion errors.
This function operates only in 480i mode.

preferences, including room lighting, glare reflections
and viewing angles/distance.
