Free Picture Settings for Samsung QLED & Neo QLED TV works for 2024 Models

[@carywatson1146]

Just bought one for my parents and will use these to set it up for sure! Thank you SO MUCH for doing this!

[@toogood6t9]

Using these settings on my Samsung Q70 and works great with SDR and HDR for both movies and gaming. I do use CE on Low for gaming as found on the HDR Gaming it was a little dim with it off. Thanks for the video.

[@silviuamuza3902]

Great video. I very much agree to color on 35 for HDR gaming on the QN90B. That's what I set, even before watching this. Also, SDR movies and KZbin, backlight 20 seems enough, even in daylight. That's how bright this TV is.

[@Magor108]

Great advice on the backlight setting. In this model Brightness=backlight.

[@teknonmy7210]

Sharpness around 10 is clearly the native setting. I keep seeing forums and articles saying it should be 0 for these panels, but at 0 the screen is a blurry mess when reading text and I can't see the compression artifacts in low bitrate video. Maybe my eyesight is too good or something. I also turn off local dimming completely for SDR content. Update: it's 10 for HDMI inputs, 0 for native. Good one, Samsung.

[@tronarclight2976]

I just got a QN90A, do you recommend these settings for that?

[@mensstyle7282]

What picture mode are you using for these settings?

[@gavinmendonza]

Pretty much exactly how I've set it up on my qn90a 😂. Personally, i feel like the CE looks great on animated stuff, but i don't wanna keep changing settings so off still seems fine to me.

[@TheGame16]

Are you able to provide the settings for S95B for Standard, Movie and FMM for SDR and HDR?

[@mikecushman6468]

Appreciate the video. Just bought the 75" QN90B and excited to start fine tuning. Couple of questions: How do I get the setting menu on the side of the TV. Only quick settings menu I have is at the bottom and has way more detail. Also, are you setting your game settings in game mode, under custom? Thanks in advance

[@BaSiC47]

Call me pervert but my saturation is at 35, contrast at 50 and contrast enhancer and local dimming at high. Movie mode and warm2. Probably the setting is a trillion km away from accurate but I like it. And nobody else complained yet too.

[@AdidasNYR]

What about S95B

[@professor502]

Yes please after firmware 1420.9

[@MrJAE288]

As far as motion.. do you have any prefer settings? Also I noticed a lot of patterns when there’s a sky /cloud scene. Is there a setting to alleviate that.. i know Sony have a smooth graduation feature, something along those lines .. Thank

I just bought an 85QN90B and I've been playing around with different settings and no matter what I do, there's this yellow tint to the picture, I will copy this setting when I get home and see if it will do some magic, at the moment, the picture quality on my 2019 Q90R is better than what I have on my QN90B sadly.

Are you using game hdr on or off? It looks like game hdr under tracks the eotf with the most recent firmware on the s95b. Was curious if that is also true for the qn90b since they share the same firmware

[@DaveSCHS]

How do you determine if the movie being watched is SDR or HDR?

[@robgeach8105]

play the movie. pause the movie. go to the settings menu. If the picture settings has an HDR logo then you will edit HDR settings. if the picture settings has a logo without any special indicator then you will edit SDR settings.

[@sbronko]

I found that for games in HDR local dimming standard and high dimm the small bright higlights too aggressively, and since it is bumpung up overall brightness of image which is nice, it also totally destroys the white text when it is on larger black background (like some game menus). Text appears gray, sometimes it is even barely visible, and it should be bright white. I dont like it very much and i'm wondering if i chose good tv (I have QN91B). I will be experimenting with setting local dimming to low, but what is the point of getting fancy (and expensive...) mini-led panel then? Propably should have bought oled for just a little more money. About sharpness, I set this to zero according to rtings recommendation, but lately I connected TV to PC and set 100% scale to check the image quality and it looks like every sharpness below 10 is actually blurring, not sharpening. I see this especially on the text. Like 10 was 0, and all below 10 should be in fact negative values... Strange, did you notice same on yours?

[@sj460162]

Would you still say the S95B was best for gaming over the QN90B?

[@jjzbird]

So in SDR what do you set the sharpness to? 7 like HDR? Thanks.

[@Utubeisazzho]

No matter how many times I toggle modes tones day night i still like dynamic lol

[@rpahule]

What are the best TV settings to be used with a cable box providing a 1080p signal to the TV through a HDMI port. I noticed horrible blurriness and picture artifacting on a new QN90B and had to return it. I had all new HDMI 2.1 48Gbs cables as well. Just couldn't get it to look great. I may have just had a bad TV, nothing ever looked great.

[@Esio_Sanson]

Hi kg, something is really off in my new 55 qn90b on 1420 firmware, in sdr game mode there is a brightness and contrast in hightlights that look "hdr like" and dont make sense, looks simply wrong. Also local dimming standard and high is the same in game sdr and hdr. In movie mode, local dimming changes if i go low to standart, high back to standard doenst change and looks like it stays in high. Hdr movie mode works normal, is that some 1420 bug?

[@flashaholicuk8075]

My local dimming standard/high is also the same in HDR game mode. In movie mode my high is dimmer than standard.

[@sitelford8469]

What would you have c space at Auto, HDR on Native bumps colours up to how they should be viewed in game

KG I have waited for this video for a long time from you! But I am struggling where and how you are able to set up a SDR and HDR colour profile. When I set up the picture settings I only am able to do a single picture setting. It doesn’t give me the option to make a SDR & HDR for tv and SDR & HDR for gaming. And I don’t see the 2084 option. Can you explain how your able to do all those different picture settings bud? I thank you VERY much if you’d be able to provide instruction for me. Great content as usual bud. I have the 90B. I look forward to your help. 😊

Did I miss sharpness for SDR MOVIE?

[@TechWithKG]

Keep it at default if you want a sharper look use reality creation

[@tvtech2582]

The brightness does not equal the backlight only. This new circuit combines the luminance level and the LED backlight to be controlled together at a predetermined level witch was set by engineering at Samsung. This new way of controlling the backlight and the luminance together makes it easier to adjust like the way old school CRT TVs worked.

Shadow detail for me was the opposite, I needed to bump it up to +1

[@TechWithKG]

Definitely could vary depending on model

[@dinospumoni8255]

@@TechWithKG Yeah, that's what I figured. I use it for desktop use and in HDR, there's no black crush without having to mess with anything. On SDR though, even in a dark room with high brightness, I can't see the first 5 squares in the lagom dark test, so I lose a lot of details in dark scenes. Ideally shadow detail 2 or 3 worked better for black crush, but then I start to lose some of the rich color, so I made a compromise of using +1 instead.

@@phillydavison Yeah, agreed. Worse yet some people using standard, dynamic or "intelligent" modes. But that's personal taste, to each its own. I personally like a neutral picture calibrated to D65, which is actually the "true standard". And most TVs nowadays get very close to this on their movie and filmmaker presets. Without individual hardware measured calibration, people would be better just choosing these presets and not touching them at all.

[@mrb0775]

I've had the 85" QN90B since Sept. of 2022, and maybe I just hit the jackpot and won the panel lottery, as I know that all LCD/LED-back-lit TV models can vary from panel to panel. Because honestly, ever since our TV was delivered here on Sept. 8 of last year (same day the Queen of England died) the TV's screen when filled with an entirely white image shows NO dirty screen effect (DSE) at all, but only a white picture image with NO gray in it, or any dark spots in the white picture. And as critical as I've long been about TV picture quality (my Dad worked on repairing & adjusting TVs in the late 1960s as I was in my teens) DSE would make me mad if I noticed it in viewing Blu-rays or 4k UHD Blu-rays of movies that, for example, have outdoor scenes of a light blue sky that reveals dirty screen effect, as viewers can see gray areas or dark splotches on a cloudless clear sky, which is just supposed to be light blue. BTW, OLED panels can also suffer from DSE, though that picture shortcoming does tend to be found somewhat less often in OLED TVs that pass quality control standards than is the case with LCD TVs.

[@edwaredmclaughlin2796]

I mostly followed this advice for my 80 inch 8K QLED TV except I bumped the shadow detail up to +1 and keep the brightness down at 25 (this is to save my eyesight). Sharpness I set at 8, rather than 7. Looking at fine text up close to the screen clearly shows that this is the sweet spot. At least for me on non-native 4k resolution. I use Warm 1 rather than Warm 2. Warm 2 looks like you're looking at the screen through yellow tinted sun glasses. I run this TV at 4K with HDR, 10 bit color depth at 120 Hz. This TV tends to have blinding brights and lacks shadow detail to a horrible degree. Overall, it's simply not a good display. It's completely sugar coated so that it looks nice and bright on display in stores, but you get it home and it's anything but accurate and just simply awful. Samsung should have done a better job on engineering these TVs. Perhaps even worse than the picture is the sound quality.
