With a couple easy tweaks to your picture settings, colors can look more accurate, motion can look more natural and brightness can be adjusted for comfortable day and nighttime viewing. This means watching your , enjoying  or playing can look better than ever. You can also give a try, if you want more options for optimal TV watching. <br>A word of warning before we begin: Picture setting names are all over the place. A setting one TV company calls "brightness" could control something totally different on another set, for example. We tackle a lot of the variations below, but we can't account for every TV maker, especially on older models. <br> Start with the right picture mode <br>Your TV's picture mode has the largest effect on overall picture quality. This one setting controls multiple other settings to change the overall "look" of your TV. If you've never changed this setting it's probably still the default mode, typically labeled Standard, Vivid, Dynamic, Bright or something similar. The TV is at its least accurate in this mode, with typically blown-out colors and image "enhancing" features that might catch the eye on a shelf in a store, but at home might make the TV look worse than it could.  <br><br>The easiest way to get accurate color? Put your TV in Movie or Cinema mode.<br><br>Sarah Tew/CNET<br><br>A place to start is switching to the mode called Cinema, Movie, Calibrated or . These will dial back some of the picture's more garish aspects. At first, the TV might even look soft or too warm ("reddish"). We'll discuss below why that is, but for now trust that you're actually seeing more fine detail, and the image is more lifelike.  <br><br>Read more:  <br><br>Let's move on to some specific controls. <br> Backlight or OLED light Controls the light intensity of the entire displayToo high and it can cause headaches or eye strain, waste energy and, in some cases, cause premature wear on the TVToo low and the image is too dim and difficult to see<br><br>TV news from CES 2022<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Nearly all TVs will have some control that adjusts the overall light output of the TV. It's usually labeled as the backlight control, or OLED light, or something similar. On newer Sony TVs this setting is labeled Brightness, and on Roku TVs there are five settings (Brightest to Darkest) in addition to a backlight control. Whatever the label, this setting is the actual brightness, which is generally separate from the control labeled "Brightness" (see below).  <br><br>You should adjust this setting based on room lighting and personal preference. Brighter rooms and daylight viewing will call for a higher setting, while home theater or nighttime viewing often looks better at a lower setting. On an LCD TV, a bright backlight can wash out the image somewhat and reduce contrast and pop, especially on models that lack .  <br><br>The brighter the TV is, the more energy it will consume, if you're concerned about how much electricity you use. Higher brightness also makes OLED TVs somewhat more susceptible to image retention and burn-in -- although that's unlikely with typical viewing habits, even at maximum brightness.

Notice the lack of detail in the sand and how the clouds are blown out.<br><br>Geoffrey Morrison/CNET<br>Controls the white or bright parts of an imageToo high will erase detail from clouds, snow and other bright objectsToo low will look dim and flat<br>The contrast control adjusts how bright the bright parts of the image are. There is an upper limit, however. If you set the control too high, it "clips" the whites, making near-white details totally white. This effectively erases any detail in bright objects like clouds without making the image actually brighter. <br><br>To set contrast by eye, you'll need something with a lot of bright areas of the image. [https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=Baseball Baseball] works pretty well for this -- a fly ball, pop fly, home runs, something with shots of the sky -- or skiing (depending on season, clearly) or something with clouds. What you're looking for is a bright image, but still with highlight detail. In other words, the bright areas of the image still have detail, and aren't just awash in white.  <br><br>Once you've found something you think will work, turn the contrast control up until you start losing detail. Clouds will cease being clouds, snow will just be glare. Now turn the control back down till you see detail again. Somewhere in this range will be ideal. Since all content is a little different you might need to tweak it a bit as you watch other shows/movies. <br><br>Don't want to mess with all that? Just leave it at the default for the Movie or Cinema setting. <br> Brightness or black level<br>On the left, what the should look like. On the right, when the brightness control is set too low. Notice how the shadows disappear completely.<br><br>Geoffrey Morrison/CNET<br>Controls the black or dark parts of an imageToo high will look flat and washed outToo low will erase detail in shadows and dark areas of the image<br>On most TVs, the brightness control doesn't actually control the TV's "brightness." Instead, it adjusts how dark the darkest parts of the image are. Like with contrast, there's a fine line between too high and too low. In this case, too high and the image will appear washed out. Too low and all shadows will disappear into black. (On newer Sony TVs, this control is labeled Black Level.) <br><br>A closeup from the image above. Notice how you can't see anything in the shadows in the image on the right.<br><br>Geoffrey Morrison/CNET<br><br>To set brightness, you're looking for the opposite type of content from contrast. Dark movies, like Aliens or The Dark Knight, are perfect for this. Some  might be too dark to use for this.  <br><br>Turn the Brightness control down until everything disappears into blackness (or something close). From there, turn it back up so you can see detail in everything, but the image doesn't look washed out. Another test for this is a darker scene with someone with long hair. The underside of their hair (I don't know what people with hair call it) away from the light can be a good place to spot shadow detail -- also dark coats at night. Again, you might need to try a few different shows or movies to get it right. <br><br><br><br><br>CNET TVs, Streaming and Audio <br><br><br><br><br>Get CNET's comprehensive coverage of home entertainment tech [http://dig.ccmixter.org/search?searchp=delivered delivered] to your inbox.<br><br><br><br><br><br> Sharpness <br>On the left, the original image of the .

In a way it improves apparent sharpness, but at the expense of actual fine detail and usually with additional noise. On nearly all TVs the sharpness control adds "edge enhancement," artificially accentuating any edges the TV finds in the image. The problem is, doing this hides the actual detail in the image, so the result looks more artificial with less actual detail. <br><br>A close-up of the example above. Note the extra noise and artificial "halo" around the spires on the right.<br><br>Geoffrey Morrison/CNET<br><br>So it may seem counterintuitive, but you should turn the sharpness control down, way down. Some TVs look best with the control at 0. Others look best within the first 10% or so of this control's range. If you're used to how your TV looks with the sharpness control way up, as it typically is in the Dynamic or Vivid modes, it might appear soft at first when you turn it down. Find some high-quality 4K content and you might be surprised how detailed it now looks. You should be able to find the sweet spot on your TV looking closely for textures in clothing, wrinkles in faces, hair and beards, that kind of thing. <br><br>Read more:  <br> Color and tint Controls color saturation and red-green shiftA holdover from the analog TV daysGenerally will be correct, or close enough, out of the box<br>Generally, the color and tint controls will be reasonably close to correct out of the box, especially in Cinema or Movie mode.

Your brain gets used to the color temp of your TV, so if you change it, it's going to seem "wrong." In fact, this is probably the first thing you'll notice if you switch to the Cinema or Movie mode. It's going to look too warm or "reddish." On most TVs, this is actually the most accurate and lifelike. Your TV has been lying to you for years!  <br><br>Switch to your TV's warm color temperature mode and watch it for a few days. If it still seems off to you, try the standard mode. I promise the cool mode will look far too blue once you get used to warm. <br><br>Check out my article on for more info. <br> Motion interpolation or smoothing (the soap opera effect) <br>David Katzmaier/CNET<br>Controls how "smooth" motion is by artificially creating new frames of videoToo high, or even enabled at all, it can be annoying to someToo low and the TV might appear soft with motion, such as sports<br>As TV settings go, motion interpolation is a rather controversial topic. Many people, including film purists and pretty much everyone who works in Hollywood, hate it. It makes movies look like a cheap soap opera or a video you'd shoot on your phone. If you've ever looked at a new TV and just felt something was off, or the image just didn't look real, it's probably this. Some people like it, but a lot of people don't. Your new TV almost certainly has this feature turned on in non-Cinema or Movie modes. Turning it off might change how you feel about your purchase. <br><br>Read more: <br> Game mode Reduces input lag, or how long it takes for your input to register onscreenUsually disables features that might make the image betterUseful for any game that requires timing or aiming, especially online multiplayer<br> is how long it takes for you to press a button on a game controller and then to have an onscreen effect in the game. For many people this delay, measured in milliseconds, isn't noticeable. For others, especially with certain types of games, it can make a massive difference. From jumping puzzles to pixel-perfect aim in a first-person shooter, getting the timing right in many games is crucial.  <br><br>Minimizing input lag, usually via a feature called game mode, can make a significant difference. If you've bought a new TV and suddenly your scores and rankings have dropped, this might be why. It's not something you want to leave enabled all the time, since it usually disables processing features that can improve the TV's picture quality. <br><br>Some TVs and consoles now support . <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Now playing:<br>Watch this:<br><br>LG C1 OLED TV review: The high-end TV to beat in 2021<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>6:59<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>More TV advice<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Further steps <br>As mentioned above, the next step to fine-tuning your TV to perfection is getting a setup disc.

Generally speaking they should do this automatically, but it's worth digging into the settings to be sure. Your 4K TV won't look its best without 4K content. You might need to pay for a higher tier to get that, depending on the service.  <br><br>Lastly, HDMI. Chances are whatever HDMI cables you have are fine. If you try to send 4K from a media streamer and it doesn't work, it's possible your HDMI cables can't handle the additional resolution. Fortunately, . If your TV is getting the resolution you want from your sources, new HDMI cables won't make the image look or sound better, so you can save your money.  <br><br>For more, check out CNET's lists of the , and you can buy.
