What is Torch Mode?
Torch Mode is a tongue-in-cheek term given to high-contrast, high-brightness settings on a television. These settings are often the factory default settings and are commonly used on display models in dealer showrooms to solicit the “wow factor” from consumers with maximum impact. While these settings may help a retailer sell more TV’s, they are bad for plasma displays when used regularly and should be avoided. See also Shop Mode settings.
