Nobody will even remember about tube TVs, and the presence of a liquid crystal brother in your home will not surprise anyone. But, unfortunately, not everyone tries to tune an LCD TV, content with a CRT image.
Presets
The most important parameters in setting image quality are brightness and contrast. However, before calibrating brightness and contrast, you need to perform a few simple steps that will allow you to adjust these parameters most efficiently. For watching TV it is better to use the "Movie" mode. Of the color modes, "Warm" is optimal. To improve the overall picture, turn off Power Saving Mode, Dynamic Contrast, Backlight, and Picture Mode.
Brightness and contrast
Brightness affects the black level in the image, and it is better to use the special “Pluge pattern” image to adjust it. This image is a series of stripes of different tone - from black to white. Open it on your TV in an accessible way (as a rule, modern LCD TVs have flesh connectors, so the image can be opened from a flash drive). Then it is necessary to set the "brightness" parameter to the maximum position so that all stripes are clearly visible, and then decrease it so that the leftmost stripe merges with the black background.
Contrast is best adjusted in the dark, as it determines the white level. It is necessary to set the value almost to the maximum mark (as a rule, this value is 95), then display the image with the white level window on the screen and increase the "backlight brightness" indicator to the maximum value. After that, reduce the "backlight brightness" until the white no longer harsh the eyes.
Color saturation
The lower the color saturation value, the closer the image is to black and white tones. You can adjust the color saturation in a nature photo, trying to change the value of this parameter until the picture is more realistic. Then you can change the picture to an image of a person and, by the same principle, pay attention to the color of the skin.
Sharpness setting
You can complete the adjustment by checking the value of the sharpness parameter, which is necessary to obtain an equally high-quality image from different distances. To do this, you can use a special image "Sharpness pattern". This is a black and white picture for testing and adjusting clarity. This image is freely available on the Internet, so just download it from the Internet and open it on your TV. Then you need to sit down at the usual distance when watching TV and, having opened this image, set the clarity to maximum. Then reduce this parameter until the image is normalized (the disappearance of light highlights).
