How to Set Up Picture Settings on Sony TV for the Best Picture Quality

If you own a Sony TV and want to get the best possible picture quality out of it, then this video is for you. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to adjust the picture settings on any Sony TV to achieve the best results.
We start by explaining the different picture modes available on Sony TVs, including standard, cinema, sports, and more. We discuss the pros and cons of each mode and recommend which one to choose based on your preferences.
Next, we cover the basic picture settings, such as brightness, contrast, and sharpness, and explain how to adjust them for optimal results. We also go over advanced picture settings, such as color temperature and gamma, and explain what they do and when to use them.
We then discuss high dynamic range (HDR) and Dolby Vision, two technologies that enhance the TV picture quality by increasing the contrast ratio and color range. We explain how to enable HDR and Dolby Vision on your Sony TV and recommend the best picture settings for these modes.
Finally, we provide some tips for improving your TV picture quality, such as using the correct color space and avoiding overprocessing. We also answer some common questions about picture settings, such as whether to use dynamic contrast and whether to turn sharpness all the way up.
By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of how to set up the picture settings on your Sony TV and improve your TV picture quality. So sit back, relax, and get ready to experience your favorite movies and shows like never before!

Thank you for making this video I was literally searing for this last week disappointed that I couldn’t find anything even close to as detailed as what you did here

[@MADpack]

Thank you so much for your comment happy that this video could help you out. I amalháveis covered another one about google tv not sure if you have seen that one… it complements this video. Beside that which Tv do you have?!

[@hughiegale7427]

Thank you I just got a 65 inch X93L and you sir are the only source I could find after an hour of searching for setting and with no success. I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you.

[@georget5560]

@Madpack hi from Montreal Canada! thank you and all the comments below for the recommended settings… Had a 2022 Samsung 75Q70A. Barely 5 weeks out of the 1 year warranty all of a sudden half of the bottom screen went out so I decided to upgrade towards a 85inch X90L and just wall mounted this beast Let me tell you the difference in picture quality is just incredible! Could not have been more happy especially coming from being a long time Samsung fanboy but Sony chip and image processing is on another level…especially the contrast and the HDR content and highlights is spectacular to say the least 🎉❤

[@MADpack]

Hi there first of all thank you for your comment I was just talking about Canada with my wife saying that In the past before coming to the uk really wanted to go to live in Canada but because is so far from Portugal I changed my mind and moved to the uk in 2016… so seeing your comment and having this message to read from Canada found it funny. Happy that you are happy with your purchase and that the TV is what you expect and more. I was like you a Samsung Fan boy but after the bad experience with the k95b I said no thank you for Samsung .

Hi Madpack, I just bought the x93L in 75 inch, I will try your setting but I like to use the Cinema mode, what setting do you recommend?? Thank you

I use this setting not others so I really can’t help more than what I shared on this video about this kind of settings for your tv

[@Capricorn_IV]

Thank you for all the videos you have posted about the Samsung soundbar, S95B & the Sony A95K. I was about to get a s95b possibly with same soundbar but your videos have me thinking maybe not the best choice for me I'm about to make a TV purchase and hoping to keep it for at least 4 years. I have the opportunity to get a 65" Samsung S95B or get a 55" S95C when released or a Sony 55"A95K. I sit around 6 to 7 feet away and currently have a LG C7 so don't mind a another 55" TV. I'm leaning towards the Sony A95K as I tend to watch a lot of 1080p content and play Nintendo Switch a lot so Sonys upscaling would be great for this, also stream 4k TV shows and game on series X. Any chance you could do a follow-up video of the impressions so far using the A95K, the thing you like and dislike about it and discuss the upscaling capabilities of the A95K compared to the S95B please? Thanks again, really appreciate the videos 😊

[@MADpack]

Hi there thank you so much for your comment I have done a in-depth review of the Sony a95k and I have nothing else to add on that subject if you do upscalling the Samsung Tv is horrible even with a nvidia box that have ai to enhance upscale was really poor so yeah is a no brain choice and the menu in Samsung Tv is really bad after you try a Sony tv hope it helps

[@Capricorn_IV]

@MADpack yeah that helps a lot, going to go with the A95K even though the newer S95C will be out in a few weeks. I'm just going through your Sony settings video 👍

On my TV you change the settings when it's HDR10 content and Dolby vision content and stardard content , the settinfs need to be different for each as DV is way darker than standard what would you suggest

Try and see if you get better results but I’m sure will be better than the standard settings

Thank you for putting out this video. I'm still not happy with the picture of my Sony - 65" class BRAVIA XR A75L OLED 4K after changing my Custom mode to match all of your settings (nothing against you - just letting your know). The Standard mode is dim and dull. In the Vivid mode, the colors are too bright and the whites on Vivid are too gray. I like my 55" Samsung curve 4K TV better. I'm probably going to return the TV 😞

[@MADpack]

Hi there I completely understand if you don’t like my settings but my settings is to be the most accurate as possible if you prefere your Samsung TV compared to my settings with your Sony a75L I believe the reason behind is because you want a saturated colour and that’s not Sony. Hope it makes sense :) hugs and good luck for your next purchase

[@tynman49er]

I have a sony x90l. The picture looks blurry & grainy. ESPECIALLY on netflix in 4k. I ran it through my ps5 & xbox in vrr, tries it on & off, tried custom, standard, YOU NAME IT! Should I return or try something different? HELP!!!!

Have you try my settings? Have you try to reset the tv?

[@Mattymullen08]

Can I just ask the settings are perfect for me but when I'm watching at night in a dark room I feel the tv is too bright so hurts my eyes. What do u suggest. I'd like to have 1 daytime profile and 1 night time

[@MADpack]

You can set up on another of your settings something similar but trying to make it darker reducing per example the brightness only and in that way imagine when in cinema is darker and in custom is brighter… I feel you but I’m almost sure that you main issue is because you don’t use any backlight tv correct? If you use that sensation will be gone

[@adamm8136]

Ty. These ppl using the advanced contrast enhancer above anything but low are losing they minds. It becomes way over saturated with faces and skin tones not being correct. So many ppl saying to put both black levels and contrast enhancer to high with gamma +1. I was baffled like wow, talk about over saturation.

[@MADpack]

No worries hope you enjoy this video

[@adamm8136]

Just a heads up to all who thumbs up. Contrast enhancer low, black levels low. Color temp expert 1, gamma +1/+2. Black level 50, live color on low but bring color up to 63. Reality creation 65. Reds are a lil bright, R bias at -2, G bias 0, B-bias -4. B-bias at -4 most important. Bringing that down a tad adds more clarity and less gray wash effect from blue Hue on screen. Blues will still look amazing. Multipoint color gamma adjustments. #5 R-offset 4, G-offset 2, B-offset 2. I have painstakingly done these calibrations with a fine tooth comb...as one says.

[@MADpack]

@@adamm8136 thank you for sharing your settings the community is here for that thanks a lot I will have a try on your settings and see what’s happen to my Sony a95k by the way which Sony tv are you using?

[@adamm8136]

@MADpack TY. I had the X85J. Took it on vacation with me, and somehow, on my way back, I cracked the screen. Replaced it with the X85K new model since I loved the TV so much. Both those models are 99.9% similar. My friend got the A95K on my recommendation, and he says my picture settings were perfect for him. So, u should like them...I'm telling u that B-bias needs to be brought down a tad...ull see. All the sudden clarity and colors look correct once that's done. I love these Sony TVs from last 2 years or so. 100% best TVs rn for that price point. Samsung and LG dropped off since 2020. Unless you can spend multiple thousands on a TV these Sonys are where its at. VRR, auto low-latency, HDR10, HDMI 2.1 and etc. These TVs very future proof
