How to adjust your TV settings for the best picture quality

Day 5 of quarantine: "I should change my TV settings"

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.

Thank you Caleb for all your advice . I just stumbled onto your channel by chance .

i like your explaining. simple to follow and straight to the point

👏 Congratulations For 800k ....🥰 Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥....✌

Dude ! Awesome video 👌🏽

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.

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.

That Faze SWAGG intro thru me off 🤣

Thanks for the video. It really Helped Me.

Please, make a HDR video!

Big thanks man. Extreme helpfulness ❤

Excellent review!

Thank you very helpful

What settings do recommend for the samsung q60r 43 inch 2019

Contrast enhancer low/high really brightened my picture. I used movie mode with contrastenhancer off, and it was too dim and dark, couldnt see anything haha. Now I have to rethink it

He said he doesn’t like to share his tv settings because it’s free stream so maybe he means give him money so he can show us lol 😂

Has that HDR calibration video come around yet?

I'm always adjusting my Samsung settings. I like having full control over the details. I will change settings as I change channels. Every input source or show is different. I find this part of the fun.
