Upon start up the projector defaults to Game mode. The picture in this mode is clean, clear and sharp. It is slightly cool in color temperature but not dramatically so. Contrast and black levels are reasonably good -- quite sufficient for ambient light use and typical for gaming applications. In lower ambient light or for viewing in a dark room, if you want to give the Game picture a bit more snap you can bump the default 2.0 gamma setting up to 2.2 and switch the color temp from Cool to Normal. With these simple adjustments you are good to go with an exceptionally well calibrated picture for either gaming or movies that needs no further tweaking. Cinema modeautomatically defaults to 2.2 gamma and Normal color balance, rendering an impressively natural picture right out of the box. Choosing Cinema automatically sets the lamp to Eco mode, so it reduces brightness by 32%. If you want that dimmer picture you're all set, but switching the lamp to Normal brightens it up without any boost...
