lamp.  
 
  1) Eco  : This mode is optimized for small screens smaller than 100 inc hes.  
This mode decreases the lamp brightness and power consumption i n order to 
extend the lamp lifetime and reduce noise and power consumption .
  2) Normal  : This mode is optimized for general use. This mode is the rec ommended 
mode for a stable lamp brightness that enables a low-noise, com fortable 
operating environment even under bright ambient illumination.
  3) Bright  : This mode maximizes the lamp brightness when the ambient ill umination is 
bright. As the brightness of the lamp increases, the lamp lifet ime can be reduced 
and the noise and power consumption may increase.
