A display apparatus displaying a picture, including an input unit having a setting key to set picture quality of the picture, and an automatic key to automatically set the picture quality of the picture; a picture analyzer to analyze characteristics of the picture; a memory to store a setting value set through the setting key and the characteristics of the picture, which are mapped each other; a controller allowing the characteristics of the picture analyzed by the picture analyzer to be mapped with the setting value set by the setting key and stored in the memory when the picture quality is set through the setting key, and reading the nearest value to the characteristics of the picture analyzed by the picture analyzer from the memory when the automatic key is selected, so as to set the picture quality on the basis of the setting value corresponding to the nearest picture analyzed value read from the memory. With this configuration, the present general inventive concept provides a display apparatus and a control method thereof, which saves a user the trouble of setting picture quality every time a picture varies in characteristics.
