Free Picture Settings for Sony TV | Sony A95L A80L & Even BRAVIA 2024 TVs

I just got the Sony x-90 k and have found the picture dismal. However, after watching your tutorial on how to set up a Sony OLED and that perhaps it might work for an LED, I followed your instructions to the letter. Wow! What a huge, huge difference. Thank you so much and I will look forward to more of your videos.

hi! how are these settings? are you happy with them? i am waiting for my a95k as we speak

[@AlexandStuff]

@@rhadooathos For the most part I liked the settings but I undid any with motion. I hate the motion crap and turn that all off. Also, I believe I changed one of the color settings to something different that I liked. Otherwise, most everything else was spot on.

Got Sony A95K in November 55 inch wall mounted it absolutely stunning TV 💯

[@vasago07]

I really like Sony Bravia's settings panel and how much it allows you to "play" with the image and (usually) keep a great picture quality.On my A80K I always like to configure the image based on the stuff I'm watching.

[@bingobaz6402]

Very helpful. Best one i seen yet on this. My picture is definitely clearer, sharper and blacks look great thanks.

[@TechWithKG]

Happy to help!

[@zr1cvette]

Yeah I just applied all this to my 55 A80K on custom. My content coming off a cable box even looks better then ever. Great settings.

[@zr1cvette]

You have a settings video like this for non gaming content on LG Oleds? I’d link it to a family member with a C2.

[@expert_procrastinator]

I've just got an A80L and was initially a bit underwheled. I tested it with Avatar on bluray via PS3, the picture quality seemed a bit dull and undersaturated. This was using the Custom and IMAX setting that all the reviews say are the best. I’ve spent a bit of time messing with the options and it seems my current settings are similar to what you're suggesting. So that's good to know! It's just annoying how it isnt set-up from the factory like this 🙄 especially considering how much these things cost!

[@Amadeus_]

I bet you used Rtings recommended settings. I've done that so many times and found their recommendations quite putrid.

[@expert_procrastinator]

@Romulusss-im2kg very happy! Especially with 4k HDR content 😀 It's just trial an error tweaking the settings to your liking

[@phileagle8432]

Great tips and like the way you explain settings and why they are important! Really useful to check with the onscreen settings aswell!

[@hdlowrider1903]

I just got the A80L and I used pretty much same settings as you. Great video by the way. The 1 thing that confuses me is signal input. I put my PS5 to HDMI 4 for the VRR so I put signal input for that on VRR also. Or should I put it to enhanced? Or change it depending on if I'm gaming or watching Netflix?

[@weeecky]

Thanks for the video. Couldn’t understand why the picture looked so much better in the shop. The guys that set it had it on max power saving any it was way too dark

[@spaceengineer1452]

Worked for me ! Thanks....I turned color down to 42.

[@adrian34138]

My family just got this tv for the living room should I change the settings or leave it.? Should I just put the brightness up .?

[@marlonrobalino]

My settings for my a80j which I believe is the most pure unmolested picture you can get. Brightness-Max Contrast- 90 Gamma- -2 Hdr tone mapping- Gradiation Black level- 50 Black adjust- off Adv contrast enhancer- off Peak luminance- high Color- 50 Hue- 0 Color temp- expert 1 Live color- off Sharpness- 50 Reality Creation- off Random and noise reduction- off Smooth gradiation- off Motionflow- custom min Cinemotion off Everything else just leave as is. Also this is in custom mode. I believe this is best for high quality content like 4k uhd and blu ray. Gaming would mostly be the same except motion being completely off.

[@arulprakash2000]

Could u tell me how to set the best equaliser settings for hearing tv speakers sound somehow high or rich sound in less volume level below 10? After one month of purchasing new XR-55X90L , demo installed by sony technician, sound is good at a very less volume less than 10, in tv channels, in OTT platforms are good at same volume level between 5-10, now by today, while seeing tv channels and OTT platforms at 7-10 volume level, sound is very low, not able to feel the good sound experience like before. How's happened? Whether my father accidentally changed settings in equaliser by reset or what happened i don't know?! I tried reset, changed the volume offset to maximum, tv speaker sound quality now is not as same before yesterday. My father too didnt know how's it happened!? I am requesting you to tell me whether if i change the equalizer settings in sound, which are the frequency has to be in low, max, medium level in every frequency? Whether by changing the frequency equalizer settings in sound, is it possible to give good rich sound in less volume level from 5-10?

[@joannezegarelli9132]

I can't thank you enough for this video! You helped me get the most awesome picture from my Sony TV!! I can't thank you enough!

KG - TKS for the Great Custom Settings! Have unrelated question, just maybe u might have help idea or 2, I had a 77A80J that had this same Problem before it Died and was replaced by Sony w a new 77A80K - it too, turns out has the same annoying problem: The Problem: after setting up my AVR and my BD Player - the Bravia Notifications tells me I need to SETUP the AVR everytime I turn the set ON - so I run Setup and it tells me it's been Configured then I click Finish. If I then go to OTA TV for awhile and then go back - I will have to Setup the AVR again. Have u heard of this? TKS

[@XxLaMaravish13xX]

Can someone please answer this.... does the a90k sony tv have "local dimming" and "extended dynamic range" options? I cant find it.

[@jademers88]

I have an a95k from november of last year. The image quality is stunning, but it has the absolute worst looking motion I have ever seen to the point of being completely unwatchable. I have factory reset it, adjusted motion settings for hours and its just a piece of crap. I hope their next TV really evolves their motion quality compared to how it is now

[@allowambeBOWWAMB]

Have you put Cinemotion to Max / high and lowered motionflow?

[@paigesalas8142]

Interesting i have the a90k and i agree the motion is pretty bad on movies haha too much judder except on ps3 when i use vrr or hdmi 3 theres no judder. Only complaint i have on the a90k is the brightness and no 1440p other than that the picture is insane and the sound is great too

[@CiroPica]

Hi, I have a Sony A95K, in game mode I see it as too dark, I wanted to know if I increase the contrast and put the super contrast at medium level, do I risk burning the TV because it's too bright?

[@paigesalas8142]

But honestly how much better is the a95k compared to the a90k? I know its qd oled but is it really that much brighter and more accurate

What are the best settings for Bravia 65x800H?

[@ownerr8441]

SDR PICTURE QUALITY ON SONY OLED. SONY NEED TO WORK ON THIS. Reality Creation is great with 4k/HDR contents but with SDR, I find it creates artifacts. Sony OLED need a firmware update specifically for SDR contents. I was in contact with Sony's engineers, I send them videos and pictures on this issue. The only temporary fix that are considered decent are (ONLY fot SDR or low bitrate) 1. Turn off Reality Creation 2. Set Random Noise Reduction to auto, low or medium 3. Set Digital Noise Reduction to auto, low or medium 4. Set Cinemotion to off or low These settings should help. Great pic quality from Sony OLED with 4k/HDR not too many changes needed.

[@cartafilm]

absolutely agree!

[@ainajoe5874]

Yeah but for the reality creation just put on auto. It will automatically adjust. If manual it will looks artifacts

[@ownerr8441]

@Aina Joe I tried all the settings and the best was leaving it off but only on SDR contents.

[@ainajoe5874]

@@ownerr8441 oh yeah mine looks good on auto on sdr content

[@ownerr8441]

@Aina Joe maybe your SDR might be 1080p. Mine might be 720i or p. I'm not sure if you're in the US or Canada or somewhere else. The artifacts are what bothers me and panning scenes, but always but at times. However, in my LED TVs, it looks just fine. It's just the nature of OLED, but Sony engineers don't want to say that yet. They came and observed what I am seeing but said nothing yet.

[@scifiguy8011]

I tried the peak luminance on high for HDR content on my A80L in my home theater room(dark room) and I get severe eye strain as it is too bright. For instance if someone is standing in front of a window the window overpowers everything in the picture. Or if there's a light bulb in the picture it overpowers everything else in the picture. I'm starting to regret getting rid of my Panasonic ZT60 which was calibrated by D Nice.

When I watch cable TV. The white clothes people wear is too bright. Don't understand this I have yet to figure out how to figure how to make the white blend better. It's mainly people's white clothes, jerseys etc. I have cable box plugged into HDMI 1 and changed it from standard to enhanced for hdmi 1. When in enhanced mode It automatically shows cable TV in Dolby Vision in Dolby vision dark and bright modes. But the white clothes is too bright.

[@jackjohn7697]

For the A95K owners out there, just wondering what sound bar or sound system are you using with your TV please.

[@TechWithKG]

Any sound bar will work, but Sony ones will have some extra features but id say its not enough to make that the only pick just find the best sounding ones within your budget range. The TV speakers are already good so you probably have to spend at least $500-600 for a great option.

[@bigkabuto]

Hi there. I have A95K here but some games look very off in the nighttime and I didn't have this issue with C9 or S95B. Night in RDR2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Dead Island 2(and more) are way too bright, like washed out almost, but caves in Tomb Raider are proper dark. This is with Xbox Series X.

[@TechWithKG]

I think a lot of it could carry over to the x90k. I got feedback saying it was good for the x95j and x95k so give it a shot. For lower resolution stuff try out reality creation.

[@croozer30ify]

Thanks,will try that.great channel.

[@naturalfitness-1]

I own a a95k and I don't see a difference in gradiation preferred and brightness prefer. Only when I select off does the picture get brighter any Idea why?

[@TechWithKG]

It depends on the content some stuff you will see a different others you won’t, when it’s off you have highlights that will completely clip details on the A95K I suggest using gradation.

[@naturalfitness-1]

@TechWithKG thank you for the reply. I should have added that it's for gaming on ps5. I have tried different games and both settings show the same picture. Only when I turn it off does the picture get brighter.

best audio settings? sound mode specifically 6 different choices …standard, dialog, cinema, music, sports, dolby audio

[@irondad007]

Dolby audio. Set all frequencies to max in the equalizer. Turn off surround sound. Set input volume to max. Set all audio settings to standard, not compressed. Make sure you have the correct audio configuration for how you attached the stand. Leave the volume leveler off. Your tv will sound as good as a separate sound bar, and you won’t have to turn the volume very high for it to get loud. This TV has the best sound and picture I’ve ever seen! It’s the first time I’ve loved a tv since my older Panasonic plasmas. Sony nailed it with this model.

In my opinion dolby vision dark is extremely dark on sony tv's.Bright option however seems to be the right one.Reviewers also think the same.

[@MrNorcal81]

​@@vasago07 on my A95k, even after professional calibration, the two Dolby Vision modes are at opposite ends of the spectrum. DV Dark is way too dark even in a dimly lit room and DV Bright is too bright at times, even in a well lighted room. With the latter I've tamped down some of the picture settings to even out the image in most cases. The Sonys have so many settings that if you're not careful you can end up with a worse picture.
