What is the correct level of brightness on LCD TV?

20 21B R I G H T N E S S A D J U S T M E N TB R I G H T N E S S A D J U S T M E N T

What is the correct level of brightness on LCD TV?

About BRAVIA’s Ambient Light Sensor:

• The BRAVIA LCD TV is equipped with an Ambient Light Sensor. This is a backlight

control system which will automatically adjust its brightness according to lighting

conditions.

• This helps to provide the optimum picture quality in any environment.

• This helps avoid eye-strain while watching LCD TV as the picture brightness will

adjust to the lighting of the room accordingly.

• With the Ambient Light Sensor feature, there may be savings on your electrical costs

because this system reduces excessive brightness which then optimizes its power

consumption.

When judging the brightness, certain factors are to be considered.

RECOMMENDED BRIGHTNESS:

• Consider the brightness of the surrounding environment. This always affects the

perceived brightness of the picture on the LCD TV. The image will appear brighter

or dimmer in different rooms because of different light settings.
