<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n2. Too high or too low brightness<\/h3>\n
By the brightness of a television screen, manufacturers usually mean the intensity of the dark areas of the image.\u00a0If the panel itself is correctly adjusted from the factory, touching this parameter is highly undesirable.\u00a0The fact is that too high brightness can make the picture flat or blurry, and an excessively low value of this indicator will lead to loss of detail in the shadows and just dark parts of the video.\u00a0Yes, in most TVs, the brightness slider does not control this indicator at all.\u00a0Moreover, the line between too high and too low “brightness” is barely perceptible.\u00a0However, if you still want to adjust it, turn on a movie with an abundance of dark scenes, lower the parameter to the minimum value and raise it until the details conceived by the author are visible in the darkest corners of the picture.<\/p>\n
3. Too much or too little contrast<\/h3>\n
With contrast on the TV screen, the situation is approximately the same as with brightness.\u00a0The only difference is that this particular parameter controls the intensity of the light areas of the picture.\u00a0An excessively high level of this indicator will lead to loss of detail in clouds, snow and other bright areas.\u00a0Too low a brightness level will make the picture dull and even flat.\u00a0If the TV screen is correctly calibrated, it is better not to touch the contrast at all.\u00a0However, if your hands are itchy, you can select the brightest clip, increase the corresponding value to the limit, and then lower it until the details in the bright areas are the most distinguishable.\u00a0It is better to do this several times and with different videos.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n4. Incorrect backlight intensity<\/h3>\n
It is the intensity of the backlight of the TV that can be considered its brightness in the usual sense.\u00a0When it comes to a quality branded TV, this indicator is not always worth touching.\u00a0Too high a backlight level can strain your eyes and even cause headaches.\u00a0A low value will make the image too dim.\u00a0Typically, modern TVs adjust the intensity of the backlight to the surrounding conditions of the device indoors.\u00a0If this is not provided, it is better to adjust the corresponding value only within reason and only with significant changes in the environment.<\/p>\n
5. Using sharpening<\/h3>\n
Sharpness is another useless control that is ready to instantly spoil the image on the TV screen.\u00a0It artificially highlights the edges of objects.\u00a0At a very high value, it adds a clearly extra halo to all the thin lines in the picture, and also actually erases important details.\u00a0The sharpness level is best kept at the base value.\u00a0However, it is important to understand that not all TVs have its value equal to zero.\u00a0Sometimes the sharpness below a certain number is artificially lowered, making the image too soapy.\u00a0In order for the picture to be as clear as possible, the content itself must be of really high quality.\u00a0If you have a 4K TV, run a video in native resolution on it, and any additional adjustments will make no sense.<\/p>\n
6. Change the balance of colors and shades<\/h3>\n
The TV screen must be adjusted for colors and shades at the factory, so there is no point in doing it manually.\u00a0Yes, and such parameters, as practice shows, are far from being on all modern models – they are considered a relic of analog television broadcasting.\u00a0The balance of shades should be as neutral as possible so as not to break the color scheme invented by the content creators.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n7. Correction of white balance or temperature<\/h3>\n
White balance, sometimes also referred to as temperature by some TV manufacturers, is another setting that is best kept at its base setting.\u00a0The fact is that a deviation in any direction can add either a blue tint or a red tint to the picture.\u00a0The color temperature of the image is generally a very difficult question.\u00a0The fact is that the brain usually gets used to the specific settings of the TV, so any deviation can seem very strange for quite a long period of time.\u00a0It is better to keep this indicator within standard limits – then the videos will not look somehow wrong even for your guests with whom you decide to watch an interesting movie on the big screen of your home TV.<\/p>\n
8. Incorrect interpolation or smoothing<\/h3>\n
With the help of anti-aliasing or interpolation, some models of modern TVs create extra frames for the video, which, in theory, should make the picture smoother.\u00a0In fact, with an increase in this indicator, the picture often becomes quite soapy and unnatural.\u00a0Fans of modern cinema will obviously not be pleased with this effect, so they are likely to turn it off immediately after purchase.<\/p>\n
9. Game mode in intense performance<\/h3>\n
Recently, the game mode has been increasingly appearing on TVs.\u00a0It is designed to reduce latency in the most dynamic entertainment – especially multiplayer shooters.\u00a0With the help of the game mode, it will be possible to reduce this indicator by a few milliseconds, which is unlikely to be noticeable in everyday life, but in online competitions it can play a primary role.\u00a0To reduce latency, any image processing on the TV is turned off – even quite useful and efficient.\u00a0Therefore, outside of virtual entertainment, it is better not to use the game mode – especially in high-quality modern films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Getting lost in the maze of modern TV settings is a breeze.\u00a0Manufacturers add an insane amount of individual parameters and complex presets even to mid-range models.\u00a0This is a “merciless” marketing ploy that increases the significance of each such device in the eyes of potential users.\u00a0However, it is important to understand that many of these parameters […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10402,"featured_media":147710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[641],"tags":[779],"class_list":{"0":"post-147701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-news"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10402"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
