A Simple Guide for Adjusting Television Settings.
Getting the perfect viewing
experience form your television is a tricky thing. You will need to
achieve just the right levels of settings like contrast, color
temperature, sharpness and motion smoothing. To help you make that
happen, here is a simple guide to help you understand the most important
settings for you to know and adjust.
|
The first thing is to make sure your
television is the right distance from where you will be when you are
looking at it. The ideal distance is about twice as far as the
television's diagonal length. Next, set the lighting conditions to those you mostly use while watching television (sunlight, your house lighting etc.). Once you have sorted that and you are sitting in the right spot, it's time to get dive in.
|
For
almost all televisions all the things you will need to change can be
found under the "Picture settings". A lot of modern televisions have
pre-set picture modes like "Vivid" or "Cinema" which might make the
picture look too reddish or dark for some people. These presets might
look fine to you and you might be used to them by now, but they normally
don't show a truly accurate image. In any case you can always change
these by a bit for your personal taste and restore the default setting
if you change your mind.
|
The
"Contrast" and "Brightness" settings controls how bright and dark the
image will be, depending on the televisions light output. Adjust both of
these until you get your pictures brightness and darkness as close as
possible to those of the cliff in the upper right corner. If adjusted in
the right way you will be able to clearly see the details of black
objects and easy distinguish between white objects, and a bright
background.
|
The
"Color" setting determines the color saturation of your television. Too
high and it might look like a cartoon, too low and you will not be able
to see all the colors of a flower field. Change this setting until you
reach a color saturation like the one in the picture of the middle
house. For best results, do so while watching a scene for a show or a
movie with as many colors as you can find.
|
"Sharpness" controls how much your
television preforms "edge enhancements" by adding a faint outline to
objects. While it might make the image appear sharper it really conceals
a lot of the fine details so you want to keep this setting relatively
low.
|
For the "Color Mode" feature the recommended settings
are either "normal" or "Rec709". Do not use "Expanded", "Enhanced" or
anything like that, it might sound good, but your image will be worse. |
Lastly, the "color temperature"
feature can make the images on your television "warmer", which means
more red colors, or "colder" which makes everything a bit more bluish.
Generally, the Warmer colors are more accurate. Just don't set it too
high or everyone on the television will look like they just got
sunburned. The ideal balance is shown in the biggest part of the picture
where you can tell each color apart.
|
Now that you've calibrated your TV to
your complete satisfaction, and perhaps even explored other settings,
it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy your viewing experience.
Remember, you can adjust any setting as many times as you want and
restore it to the default if you don't like it, so don't be afraid to
experiment!
