Adjust this setting according to your personal preferences and the specific requirements of your content.
Some projectors provide additional image enhancement features, such as noise reduction or sharpness adjustment.
Explore these options to further refine the image quality based on your preferences.
Make small incremental adjustments to each setting and observe the changes in the projected image.
This will help you find the optimal balance and ensure the best possible image quality.
