However, you can get the settings close to correct by watching specific content and making adjustments on the fly. Clouds are good, as are ski slopes. A hockey game will do in a pinch. Check out a few different shows to make sure that bright scenes look detailed. In other words, if the image looks pretty good at a setting of 80, go with 78 instead. Next, find some dark content with lots of shadows.
Turn the brightness control down enough that the shadows look dark, but not so far down that the details disappear into blackness. Again, this may take a few tries with a few different shows. In shows on HBO or Netflix, shadows and contrast may have a more artistic look, which will make them less desirable for setting up your TV. However, once you have your TV set correctly, everything you view will look even better.
A word of caution: Various channels, apps, and sources can all look slightly different. It could take a few tweaks to get the image looking as good as possible with everything you watch.
Believe it or not, you should turn this setting way down. Imagine outlining the holes of a fine lace doily with a Sharpie. To properly set sharpness, turn the setting down until you can no longer see false white lines and noise around hard edges. Not too red, not too blue, not too green. This is the preset that most Movie and Cinema modes will switch to. One of the most, shall we say, controversial settings involves the use of motion smoothing, also known as motion interpolation or the soap opera effect.
This setting creates an overly smooth motion that makes a film look like a cheap soap opera. But many people hate it including Tom Cruise. The function goes by different names, depending on the manufacturer, but the word motion is usually in there somewhere. The side effect of turning this feature off is that you can lose detail in fast-motion scenes. But there are other options for dealing with motion blur.
Some TVs offer black-frame insertion , which can result in a dimmer image and possibly some flickering, but it can also do a very good job of reducing motion blur. Some TVs offer a custom mode that lets you adjust the aggressiveness of the motion smoothing to your liking. Find out what the different modes on your TV do, and see if you like one more than another. I dive into this tech in an extensive article. It's best to leave this off. Black Detail : This is the opposite of Black Tone -- it attempts to enhance details in dark areas by brightening them.
You might think that's a good thing, but in fact, it just causes the opposite problem: By lightening dark areas, you're more likely to introduce artifacts. Edge Enhancement : This feature attempts to make the image look a little sharper. That sounds good, but oversharpening can also create artifacts, like a "halo effect" around edges. In most cases, this should be left off. But if the movie you're watching was properly mastered, the color should be fine; turn these off for the most natural-looking image.
Note that "Color Temperature" should not be lumped in with these features. You should leave that set to the Movie mode's default, usually "warm. Super Resolution, Reality Creation, Smooth Gradation and other Noise Reduction features : These attempt to make low-quality content look better, sharpening the picture and removing noise and other artifacts caused by digital compression or analog conversion.
For high-quality content, like Blu-rays, these are best left off, since they can soften the picture. That said, you may want to turn them on for old DVDs or even cable TV, if you find that it looks better. Motion Interpolation : Every manufacturer has its own name for this. Despite the different names, they all do essentially the same thing: generate more frames in between the already existing frames, for super-smooth motion.
This is what causes that weird "soap opera effect" that so many people hate, and it can also introduce artifacts, so we recommend disabling it -- unless you're one of those people who actually enjoys it. Auto Picture Mode : This is a feature on some Sony TVs that attempts to change your TV's picture mode automatically based on what it sees on the screen.
It's generally a good idea to leave this off; the settings we recommend in this guide should work well no matter what you're watching. Note that not all TVs will have all these settings; cheaper panels, in particular, will have far fewer options. But this list should cover most of the image-processing settings you'll see on popular TVs from big brands.
At the end of the day, it's all about what looks best to you. But if you want the most detail and the most accurate colors, as the filmmakers intended, we recommend disabling as many of these features as you can. Disabling all of the post-processing is the easy part. There are a few settings on your TV that can make the picture look much better or worse , but which setting you should use depends a lot on your TV and what you're watching.
Here are a few settings you may need to experiment with:. Backlight : Most TVs have both a Backlight and a Brightness setting, and they do very different things. Do you have any other suggestions? Maybe tweaking some settings in Windows Registry or anything else? Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.

Henlo Idegen. This feature has been bugging me for so long and I can't seem to find a working solution. I've already edited the registry - with no success set default value to - as it was advised in one of the Surface Pro guides Thank you for your help!!
