Available Picture Setting Options
This section describes when picture settings are available and when they are disabled.
DNIe
Not supported in Movie Mode1.
DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine) This exclusive Samsung technology is marketed to dramatically improve the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and by reducing noise. It does this by modifying the original signal, and while it might look better to some people, it does not present an accurate image. For detailed movie watching where the original content is important to be shown as intended, turn on movie mode to disable all modification techniques.
Detailed Settings
Not available in Dynamic or when Game mode is on. Also not available if DNIe is set to Off in Standard mode. Detailed settings include: Black Adjust, Dynamic Contrast, Color Space, White Balance, My Color Control, Gamma, and Edge Enhancement. According to Samsung, these are the effects of the detailed settings:
- R-Offset: Adjusts the red color darkness.
- G-Offset: Adjusts the green color darkness.
- B-Offset: Adjusts the blue color darkness.
- R-Gain: Adjusts the red color brightness.
- G-Gain: Adjusts the green color brightness.
- B-Gain: Adjusts the blue color brightness.
Active Color
Available in Dynamic Mode only. In Standard or Movie Modes, or when Game Mode is on, the Active Color automatically changes to Off and it is deactivated. When Active Color is on, blue and green colors become more vivid.
Color Tone
Color Tone selects the color Temperature of the whole picture.
Warm1, Warm2, Cool1, Cool2, or Normal Color Tones can be selected, however Warm1 and Warm2 are available only in Movie mode.
- Normal: Keeps whites white.
- Cool1: Makes whites bluish.
- Cool2: Makes the colour temperature bluer than "Cool1"
- Warm1: Makes whites reddish.
- Warm2: Makes the colour temperature redder than "Warm1" * Closest setting to 6500k thus the most accurate as compared to the reference material filmed. (In other words, use this mode for movies if you want to watch them how the directors intended)
Just Scan
Just Scan is only available when the input signal to the display is 1080i DTV, 1080i and 1080p signals through the HDMI jack, or 1080i and 1080p signals through the Component jacks. More Info.
How could any of this be bteter stated? It couldn't.
Game Console Settings
Playstation 3
Playstation 3 Display settings: Video Output: 1080P Screensaver: After 5 Minutes Cross Color Reduction Filter: Off RGB Full Range: Full Super-White: On
Xbox 360
Some people say that to get the best image from Xbox 360, connect to TV using VGA cable, and set X360 resolution to 1024x768 on the 42" Samsung plasma and set to 1360x768 on the 50" plasma. This way the xbox is outputing the native rate of the panel for pixel perfect 1:1. Alternatively, for Xbox 360 Elite or newer revisions of Xbox 360 with HDMI connection, connect the Xbox 360 using the HDMI cable, then set the resolution to auto-select, which will automatically adjust the resolution to the display's native resolution, or set it to 720p with Just-Scan display setting.Samsung................
