After buying a new TV set after a while you often get the feeling that the picture on it is somehow “not like that”. And if fine tuning the channels and cleaning the screen from dust do not give a positive effect, then there is only one conclusion - the image parameters set in the store are not suitable for your viewing conditions of TV programs. Let's take a look at a few professional steps to “non-professional” adjusting basic picture settings at home.
Necessary
To set up, you need a working remote control, an instruction manual, a DVD player and discs with high-quality recordings of several widescreen films (so that when playing back, there are dark bars at the top and bottom of the picture). You can do without a player, and set up through one of the TV channels, but this is not entirely convenient
Instructions
Step 1
Connect the player to the TV, start watching the movie and enter the settings menu.
Step 2
Adjust the brightness of the picture. This is done as follows. Pause playback on a frame with approximately equal amounts of light and dark. Increase the brightness to the maximum value and gradually decrease it until the bars at the top and bottom are black. If individual details in the frame become indistinguishable at the same time, then add some brightness.
Step 3
Adjust the contrast. Adjustment is made on an image with a white object and visible dark details (snow and trees, glacier with cracks, etc.). Increase the contrast to the maximum. Then start to gradually reduce it. Lock in the level when dark details become blurry and subtle. After that, start increasing the level until you get a normal image.
Step 4
Adjust color saturation (chroma). It is best to adjust the settings on a frame with a human face. Increase the chromaticity to obtain a “super tan” of the face, and then reduce it to obtain natural colors, without redness in the wrong places.
Step 5
Adjusts the color tint and sharpness. The most acceptable settings are 50 (color) and 0 (sharpness). Change only if clearly necessary.
