Picture function

Hello, I am trying to learn about the functions in "Picture" menu. With so many options, how do i know what each function does/meaning. Ie GAMMA, what is the purpose.

 

Any ideas, how i can improve my understanding for each function.

Hi there

 

The list below is the meanings of the picture settings on a 2014 4K TV.  However google is probably your friend on this one.  If there is anything specific you want more info on, please say so.

Press the button (or press the touchpad on the Touchpad Remote Control) to jump to “Selecting picture mode” for details.
