acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-5 shows a typical PLUGE 
pattern.
Figure 4-5. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness
PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray 
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four 
shaded boxes.
Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow ( 
 
 ) 
buttons, adjust the brightness so that:
• The darkest black bars disappear into the background. 
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).
