There is provided a video signal noise elimination method for performing noise correction by digital processing. The video signal noise elimination method includes using, as an output video signal, a mixed video signal obtained by mixing an input video signal and a low-pass video signal at a predetermined mixing ratio corresponding to a contour signal. The method further includes subtracting an off-set, which grows larger as the low-pass video signal becomes greater, from the contour signal. The method further includes controlling the predetermined mixing ratio so that a ratio of the low-pass video signal contained in the mixed video signal increases in a portion where the contour signal is small and so that the ratio of the low-pass video signal contained in the mixed video signal decreases in a portion where the contour signal is large.
