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

[@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! I was struggling with the settings and was ready to give up until I found your video! I've locked my settings so they will never be changed!. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My SONY 80L TV looks awesome now!

[@slimjim340]

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.

@@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.

[@jjlnguess7354]

So are you saying to setup two different Custom profiles? One for SDR and one for HDR? Or are these settings for both SDR/HDR?

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

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.

[@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.

Thank you for the tips!! Great video! If I may add some settings tips for gaming that I found to be the best for me and would appreciate it if I got any feedback from anyone who tries them . Brightness - 100 but optional depending on room lighting. Contrast - 95 Gamma- allll the way down (-3) Brightness preferred Black level- 49 Contrast enhancer - medium Peak luminance- high Color - 56 Sharpness- 50 Reality creation- 40. I found these settings to have the most pop and best looking for games.

[@michaelslocumbsr.2286]

Very useful! Thanks for walking me through the settings...

[@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

[@Legenkilla]

Do u use the contrast enhancer in game mode?

[@naturalfitness-1]

Do you prefer using the auto tone mapping on the ps5 or do you do it manually. HDTV test says that the auto tone mapping is not accurate, but i don't get why sony would have a tone mapping thats not accurate

[@DavidePalmer]

Do you use custom mode when streaming Dolby Vision content or so you switch to Dolby Bright or Dark?

[@vasago07]

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.

[@XxLaMaravish13xX]

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

[@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.

I have sony bravia x85k led. How do I stream in 1080p ?

[@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?

[@alooshlife3008]

[@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.

@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.
