Question:

What is color space and how does it affect the picture quality on my TV?

Answer:

Subject:  Color Space

Color space refers to the range of color that the TV supports.

For example: This is a chart explaining different color gamuts.

There are three points to a color gamut Red, Green, and Blue that show how much of that color spectrum the unit can support.

External devices connecting to the TV or a signal may support a different color gamut than the TV.

If a device or signal is sending a different color gamut and the TV is expanding that range to the TV's full color range this will change the saturation of the colors and could enhance or degrade the picture.

The color space option has two settings.

Native: This will expand all incoming signals to the native color gamut of the TV, this can enhance the colors or over saturate them.

Auto: The TV will adjust the display gamut to match the incoming signal to prevent any over saturation of the colors.
