How to adjust your TV settings for the best picture quality

[@emikogula6429]

Thank you very much for this post. I bought a new UHD Smart TV. The picture quality was very poor. I had buyer remorse so I searched online and found this video. I wrote down notes, got home and applied it and was AMAZED at the significant change. I cant believe that SHARPNESS should be low. Mine is now at zero. I cant thank you enough for this post. I love my new tv now. lol

Turning off sharpness is the best thing I have ever done on a 4k. Makes the picture so much better, thanks Caleb.

[@evil1st]

actually if you turn it on 1 or 2 it will basically make your picture look great with just a little extra sharpness. for me it makes the image look like it has higher detail without looking blown out with high sharpness, but it does not look good with all types of media

[@txmike1945]

Good stuff but leaves out one valuable technique. Simply put, go into the menu and turn "color" all the way down to zero to get a B&W picture. Then make small adjustments in contrast and brightness to get what appears to be the best B&W image. Then gradually add back "color" until the picture looks normal, then tweak the "balance" if needed to get a neutral, realistic color. For many of us that is the easiest way to get a really good color image.

[@mannya7590]

txmike1945 Exactly this.

[@240mains]

Basic Color Grading technique , to get started to set the Tone of the image. The only way to adjust White Balance , is to have a proper level of Color . Setting the Tone first , is important . Later , we need to make sure the RGB values are Balanced , by inspecting for White Balance . Get the Tones correct first . then look at the color. Nothing new , but good advise . Adjusting TV picture settings is "Color Grading" .

[@SpalFj]

Thank uu!!!

[@kriswingert1662]

On the Sharpness setting, the middle is the default as it is whet the source input is. Going down blends frames as turning up introduces noise. So, keep it in the middle. I am a videographor and electronics tech of over 30 years. I have been calibrating a/v equipment for decades and have extensive experience and training in this area.

[@yasq1482]

True my TV's default sharpness is at 20 and I usually turn it down when I play old 3D games through HDMI to somewhat hide those pixelated textures or the aliasing

[@taffaboi84]

Please, make a HDR video!

[@roberthuntley1090]

Apart from the Spears & Munsil test patterns, I've found that a quick way to setting the brightness (black level) is play a letter-box format movie and then set the level so that in a really dark room the cropped black bars at the top and bottom of the screen become totally invisible against the screen bezel. On my LG OLED it results in a value of 52 instead of the default 50. Would welcome any comments as to how this method compares with others, and is the similar quick and dirty test to set the contrast (peak white) level.

[@classicgalactica5879]

[@fede018]

@SeanJ2A soap opera effect on a movie is horrible. There's a reason 48fps movies never caught on after The Hobbit movies.

[@no_misaki]

@@fede018 The prominent motion blur and judder of true 24hz is honestly nauseating once you've experienced anything better. It's a standard that should've been deprecated long ago, critics and film buffs be damned.

[@4nobject]

Big thanks man. Extreme helpfulness ❤

[@danaustin7475]

Motion smoothing is simply the insertion of interpolated frames between frames. Movies are normally shot or produced at 24 frames per second. That rate is too slow for our eyes to see the motion as 'real' or 'smooth'. That jerkiness is most obvious in scenes with slow panning. That jerkiness is called 'judder'. An obvious way to see the judder is to watch the credits slowly scrolling up at the end of a movie. The judder can even make the writing hard to read. For those of you who might dare to consider violating the 'expert's' advice, try experimenting with your motion control settings, including on or off, while watching the slowly scrolling credits at the end of a movie. With motion smoothing on, the writing will look very clear and not jerky as it moves slowly up the screen. Turn smoothing off, and you'll see the jerkiness. It is interesting that The Hobbit movie was shown in some theaters at 48 frames per second, and thus had smoother motion. Here's a quote from the Digital Trends article on it: "Many people who saw the film thought it looked unnatural, and frequently commented that it looked too real." I want my 4k big screen TV to look as 'real' as possible. Motion smoothing makes it look more 'real' and less like 24 frames per second jerky motion movies. I want 'real', not 'jerky', even if the experts prefer jerky .

[@robsmall6466]

CRT. It's superior to sample and hold when it comes to motion. That's the problem we have today. A cheap and nasty technology that is inferior to it's predecessor

[@zeekyboo891]

HDR changes everything. Definitely better on standard with some tweaking imo. Everything else movie mode FTW

[@biteme263]

Ya I am not a huge fan of HDR either. And my tv automatically throws it into a different picture mode when it senses a HDR signal. I have a 4K ultra blu ray player and honestly I tend to like the standard blu ray disks that come in the set better lol. I probably won't buy anymore 4K disks since the standard blu ray version is cheaper. I gave it a shot, it didn't win me over.

[@ManchaTwoFr]

That Faze SWAGG intro thru me off 🤣

[@periurban]

I have a new HiSense TV, running with a new Yamaha receiver. I have found getting the right settings to be very tricky. Strangely, the biggest positive difference with an SDR signal came when I used gaming mode. Previously, altering the smoothing made no difference at all - the soap opera effect persisted regardless, and it didn't matter whether I upscaled to 4K with the receiver or not. Also, the autoblack function made things look awful. When we sat down as a family to watch something with gaming mode off, and autoblacks still enabled my daughter (who gets out a lot more than me these days) said that the picture looked "just like everyone else's TV. That's what TV looks like these days." I really think the manufacturers are missing a trick here, because when people see what an unadjusted modern TV looks like (when visiting others) they will surely not be incentivized to upgrade.

[@shawng4886]

Going from my 2018 Samsung QLED to an LG C9, I’ve definitely noticed the ‘Samsung color pop’. But, those pure blacks on my LG😍! Depending on what you’re watching, the picture just jumps off the screen! I typically have mine on cinema mode

[@shawng4886]

Gags I’m the same way. I’m always tinkering lol. I wasn’t aware until recently that most manufacturers have their most accurate color settings in Movie or Cinema modes. When I adjusted my old Samsung QLED to Movie after having it on Natural for months, I could tell the difference right away. Most consumers honestly just don’t give a shit... a lot of people just set the their TV to Vivid and call it a day. But then again, most people aren’t really into tech because it can be overwhelming and confusing. I’ve always been fascinated by it!

The picture looks great on my tv w/energy saver turned on. Theres also a couple of thoughts here. Years ago if you went into a store to buy a crt tv all settings are where they should be. Now all settings are where they should be except brightness. It’s usually maxed out. It could b because its bright in the store n they want you to see the picture better. Some stores had the tv display area a bit darker years back. It could be they want you to see much brighter colors to help sell tvs. The other thought is what a camera he used to film vs the human eye can see are very different things. My tv is currently a 12 year old sharp aquos 60” 1080p 24fps that we sit about 15ft away from n it still looks great. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@dws84]

Unless it’s a movie or tv show, I want the picture to look like a window to what I’m seeing - especially docos and sport. Not to mention some standards aren’t ideal for a bright room, so different settings need to be used for daytime/nighttime viewing if one doesn’t have light control set up.

I have the same tv. I just tried turning the brightness setting all the way down -5 and SDR content is looking a lot better. Try the black and white trick that was mentioned here in the comments. Turn the color setting all the way down. Your image will be black and white. Then play around with the brightness and contrast. Also if you have any lights in your room set up that reflect on the screen that will seriously degrade the image. A lamp to the left or the right of the screen is ideal. Now I have to see how to get my tv to stop vertical banding. Has been an issues for me since firmware update 1356.

@@abhinavsharma4507 I do use standard, I own a Samsung q80t 55”

I always use Cool or Standard because I hate warmer colors for TV's and honestly it just destroys the brightness. I even watch content in a dark room and still find it hard to stay focused on the warmer settings because of how dark it gets. Its like having the night mode filter on your phone turned on. Its not accurate to real life at all. Its makes everything orange. I have tried it on multiple TV's too from brands like Sony, Phillips, Samsung and LG and to me its all the same.

Because the warm setting is not accurate. Only if the TV is calibrated to 6500 K it looks right.

Have a Samsung Q90 and movie mode, filmmaker mode, warm 2 all are dark and totally sucks. Have to be nuts to use them.

I have a question for my NU6900. I have all my settings set for my Movie Picture Mode. But when I switch to Game Mode for my Xbox One X, some of the settings change like Color Tone, Contrast Enhancer and Color Space Settings. Should I change these to match my Movie Picture Mode or leave it as is? (I fall into the 'accuracy above all else' category.)

[@TitanCrash630]

Personally for my Q6FN, I have it Contrast Enhancer on low, Color Tone on Warm1, and Color Space Settings on Native. I think these settings make the colors pop more

Personally, I don't bother using game mode.

Mine has sports, mild, standard and user, which should i start with?

Hello everyone. I have a 2021 tv for a year already, when is it appropriate to change my tv?

[@bennywade3041]

Only thing I would add is, be careful about setting back light too high, it could shorten the life of the L.E.D's.

What is the Gamma picture setting?
