Difference between Brightness and Backlight Level

barnabydog — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:00:07 GMT

The picture menu on my 40EX503 has seperate controls for brightness and backlight level. Is there a right/wrong way to use these settings to bring the overall picture brightness up a touch?

Secondly, the factory default setting for contrast is 100% - is that normal?

Thanks

Hello,

I found the following on internet which may help

"Brightness - changes the colours of the pixels on the LCD screen. For example if you turn the Brightness up high, black pixels will change into light grey pixels.

Backlight - is the intensity of the fluorescent lamp behind the screen that makes the picture more intense. This should be set low to get realistic blacks."

The default setting for contrast 100% is in vivid mode (I think).

I think "Standard" settings look much better (my preference), however they can be adjusted to suit.

Hope this helps.
