Colour Tempurature. Switch between them on a few different viewing materials and pick wich you like best. You should notice a significant difference when you change them.

6500k is the "standard" in the calibration world but you may prefer 93.

STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM 9300K, you will want to use the 6500K setting, as it should bemore accurate than 9300K (9300k may appear brighter, but everything looks overly saturated and detail lacks depth to it. Use 6500k, although it appaers less bright, you will appreaciate the more accurate picture the more you watch. Also if you can, findsome test patterns and use a color filter (you may need to use the custom settings) and adjust the brightness (with a PLUGE pattern) and contrast (Grayscale chart with a fixel pixel display or PLUGE with a CRT), and color control (SMPTE).
