Picture Adjust (Advanced)

To access advanced picture quality settings, select Advanced from the Picture Adjust menu. 
This sub-menu presents the following options:

ICC Adjust: Select ICC Adjust from the Advanced Picture Adjust menu to customize the 
displayed color space. The adjustments you make here are stored in the currently-selected 
“Picture Memory“ preset. 

For each of the six primary colors – red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta – you can 
adjust the following:

• Hue: These slidebars adjust the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of video 

signals. For best results, adjust the hue while displaying an external color bar test pattern 
(Figure 4-4). 

 

 
Changing the hue of a primary color affects the gamut (range) of possible colors. For 
example, changing the value for red moves the color closer to either yellow or magenta, 
which in turn affects all displayed colors having a red component. 

Table 4-3 describes the effects of adjusting the primary color hues. 

• Saturation: This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level – the amount of that color in a 

video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “-30” removes that 
color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering 
and unrealistic.

• Intensity: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given color. 

• Default: To reset ALL ICC settings – Hue, Saturation AND Intensity of all six colors – for the 

currently-selected “Picture Memory“ preset to their factory-default values, select Default 
(directly below the “Intensity” menu item) from the ICC Adjust menu. Then, select Yes to 
confirm the reset. 

To reset only the Hue, Saturation OR Intensity of all six colors for the currently-selected 
“Picture Memory“ preset to their factory-default values, select Hue, Saturation or Intensity 
from the ICC Adjust menu and press ENTER. Then, select Default (the last menu item) from 
the ICC Adjust menu. Then, select Yes to confirm the reset. 

Brilliant Color™: Select Brilliant Color™ from the Advanced Picture Adjust menu to change 
the BrilliantColor setting. BrilliantColor utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system 
level enhancements to enable higher picture brightness while providing truer, more vibrant 
colors. To enable BrilliantColor, set it to On; to disable it, set it to Off.
