Adjust image settings in 4 steps

- Step 4: adjust the Image Mode or Expert Settings.
Step 1: open the menu
Press the Menu button on your remote.
Step 2: open 'Settings'
Go to the left in the menu bar until you reach Settings. Select this option.
Step 3: open 'Picture'
You can choose from Image Mode or Expert Settings. Go to Image mode if you want to choose a default setting. To adjust the image in detail, go to Expert Settings.
Step 4a: adjusting the Image mode
With the Image Mode, you can choose from different default settings. Each setting has a different effect on the brightness and the black and color representation.
Adjusting Image mode
| Mode | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Dynamic | This makes the image extra bright. This is especially useful in brightly lit rooms where you're more likely to be bothered by reflections. The disadvantage is that it makes the color and black levels less accurate. |
| Stand | This mode is bright enough to prevent reflections in a normally lit room. The color and black levels are better than in Dynamic Mode, but not optimal. |
| Natural | In this mode, the color and black levels are more realistic than when you select Standard, but the image is less bright. This makes the screen more susceptible to reflections. |
| Film | This mode is especially suitable when watching a movie at night. The color and black levels are the best. Due to the lower brightness, the screen is susceptible to reflections. |
| Filmmaker mode | The Filmmaker mode displays your image as the director intended. It switches off effects, such as smoother moving images. The color temperature is also warm, which makes white appear more yellow. |
Step 4b: adjusting the Expert settings
On this screen you can adjust each individual image property. The best setting depends on your viewing situation and personal preference. Experiment with the settings and create the image that you like the most. In this list you can see what each function is for. Note that the available functions differ per TV. If you have a standard image or game mode switched on, you may not be able to adjust some settings.
