    • @wesfishcare
      @wesfishcare 4 года назад

      I had this issue as well. I had Dolby Vision (DV) 4K movies that were only playing in standard HDR. So when I inserted the disc only the "HDR" popup would appear instead of the "DV" popup. To get DV you must use the "HDMI 3" input. Also, I figured out that I wasn't getting DV because my Samsung 4K bluray player didn't support DV. I ended up getting a Panasonic UB820, but my understanding is that Panasonic, Sony, and Phillips players support DV (maybe others).

  • @nerdcouncil
    @nerdcouncil 3 года назад +1

    (Martin) Motion Clarity ON Dims any settings you set. I have that off because of the possible stuttering in games. So I turn on Game Mode and I have clarity off, provides better input lag as well (tested it). Overall during movies or tv I probably would try clarity off as well to avoid any soap opera effect.

  • @syncmonism
    @syncmonism 3 года назад

    I just got one of these in Nov. 2020 (the price game down a lot from the original MSRP). Not all of the settings even have the same title anymore (because of software updates), and I wonder if any of them work significantly differently now. My biggest concern is how I need to change the settings when switching back and fourth between HDR and SDR content. While this TV seems like a great value (600 CAD for 55", 840 CAD for 65"), I'm not sure I'm okay with the idea of having to change multiple settings every time I want to switch between HDR and SDR content.
    There's a 90 day return policy from the place I got it from, so I've got lots of time to decide still.

  • @jeffreycaron6985
    @jeffreycaron6985 4 года назад

    Looking fwd to trying these settings. I've did hrs of research for a week straight on budget TVs. Which left me trying to decide from the 50 inch Vizio m series, the Vizio E-Series which also supports dolby vision and hdr, 120 refresh rate at a 55inch screen for around 399$.. Then there was The TCL 6 series 55 inch of which only has 60 refresh rate but had a better picture than the E series but in all honesty... Not by much.... At all. At the end of the day I ended up going with the tcl 6 series. It had the best reviews overall all.. Basically neck in neck with the m series which the 55 ran from 499 to 599 and higher depending. Next tv will be the Quantum 55 VIZIO M-SERIES Or the q-led from tcl once the prices go down. Last thing surprisingly the 50 inch samsung 6900 of which is a older model with no dolby vision had a excellent picture as well the tcl 5 series. More decisions later on

      Hi Fernando, press the star button on your remote, and you should see in the following order: TV Brightness, Picture Mode, Picture Size, Audio Effect, Sleep Timer, Advanced Picture Settings, and Accessibility. The fastest way to get to Advanced Picture Settings is to press the star button and go up twice.

    So I just checked my bright room settings against yours- all the same except direct pic size = AUTO, backlight = 23, contrast = 90, sharpness = 0, natural cinema is ON.
    I love how easy it is to toggle settings as the room is very bright during the day but of course is dark at night :). My settings have come close (to my eye) to eliminating issues at least with non-4K content. I'll have to play with backlighting. Other difference is the sharpness. Everything I've seen about 55r617 settings recommends dialing it down to zero. It came from the factory set at 20 and seemed to create all kinds of issues. I'd be interested in hearing about what you see when you dial it down. Thanks as always TD and have a great day!

    • @FURognar
      @FURognar 4 года назад

      Sharpness at 0 is too soft. The actual "0" for TCL is sharpness = 20. That's sharpness "off" with no softening or sharpening applied. 20 is the default in movie mode.

    • @mrchiledonut
      @mrchiledonut 2 года назад

      Just have the natural cinema on for everything but games since you'll want game mode enabled, which disables natural cinema. Honestly, I can't tell much of a difference so I am okay to keep game mode enabled all the time, but if pay close enough attention to it, when it isn't enabled for movies, for example, you might see slight stuttering as a shot pans to the left or right. Also, his settings are not accurate; it's as he said which some may be confused by, it's his preference, not for accuracy, which is fine unless you came for accuracy.
      Backlight, TV brightness, and gamma are all meant to be set based on preference and room lighting. That only changes a bit between SDR and HDR. Color temp, for accuracy, should be warm. Good luck on changing gamma as the Roku app for phones doesn't work, but 2.2 for brighter rooms and sports. 2.4 is for darker rooms. You can set it different from those if you're in a really bright room, but I wouldn't.

    Everyone, do yourself a favor, get HFCR and a ionedisplay pro and learn to calibrate to rec.709 and or rec 2020 or dci p3, its very cool he did this video but people you have to get away from copy settings, like he said watch videos of copy settings vs true colormeter calibration settings. 2 exact same model tv’s will have different settings viewed by a calibration meter. It makes a huge difference. I read a lot on forums and how to do a true calibration and stopped racking my brain with copy settings! Now i know my tv is calibrated properly.

  • @FURognar
    @FURognar 5 лет назад

    A little clipping in black but that could have been my phone.
    I have found Led motion clarity to be too dark, but maxing out the backlight might solve that issue. I might play with this a bit when I get home to see how it looks in person.
    I "calibrate" using a calibration disc and a mark-1 eyeball. So my picture is pretty good to begin with. But even after my adjustments I feel the picture is too dark. I am trying to get that bright pop without negatively affecting picture quality and contrast.

      @@TechnoDad almost 1 year later and checking back in.
      I got my settings ironed out. For SDR I use Picture: Movie and TV Brightness: Dark.
      Local Contrast: High (I never change this)
      Backlight: 20
      Contrast: 94 (100 clips white at the last two bars in test patterns)
      Brightness: 50 (default)
      The other settings are on their default.
      I use Natural Cinema on for smoother panning but no SOE. BFI is off because I feel it makes the picture too dark.
      Color Temp: Warm
      These settings are great for SDR on my set. It has bright, punchy colors but maintains very deep blacks and minimal blooming from the local dimming. SD resolution doesn't look that great, but these days I view very little SD content outside of revisiting Stargate SG1. Everything else I watch is in at least 1080p HD and it handles that and native 4k VERY well.
      For Blue Ray, I just use my PS4 Pro for now. The Pro has excellent upscaling to 4k so I let the PS4 handle that and my upscaled blu Ray's look freaking fantastic.
      As for the HDR settings I use this:
      DV: Bright
      TV Brightness: Dark.
      Backlight: 100 (default)
      Contrast: 100 (default)
      Brightness: 51
      Everything else at default
      Natural Cinema on
      Color Temp: Warm
      Rtings, CNet and others recommend for Dolby Vision, you go DV: Dark and TV Brightness: Brighter and this will give you the proper color temperature and HDR pop. I disagree vehemently here. Not necessarily about the color temperature....they are probably right about this, but with DV: Dark setting, it clips the darker black areas like crazy and you lose a TON of shadow detail. People continously complain about how dark Dolby Vision is on the 6 series and I have found those are the people who also have set their DV to Dark. The ones I convinced to try Dolby Vision Bright and TV Brightness Dark noticed an instant improvement.
      All shadow detailed tends to be present with the combination of DV: Bright and TV: Dark. With a full blown calibration, the shadow detail would probably be even better.
      I have also used the iPQ app to auto-calibrate the white balance of my tv with good results. The shadow details has improved a bit since I have done this. I recommend everyone to give it a try. It's very easy to do.

    LED motion clarity uses backlight strobing which flickers the monitor rapidly. (it goes by various other names on PC monitors, such as 1ms blur reduction on LG displays.) It's very damaging to the eyes and in people sensitive to the rapid flicker can cause severe eyestrain and headaches. If game mode isn't low enough latency and 60Hz isn't smooth enough for fast-paced games then you gotta really just play on an appropriate 144hz PC monitor.

    My movie watching settings:
    -tv brightness Brighter, picture mode Dark HDR, picture size Auto, audio effect (N/A I have a home theater)
    -Dark HDR, local contrast Medium, dynamic contrast off, backlight 100, brightness 52, contrast 100, sharpness 0, color 45, tint (default), color temp normal, action smoothing off, natural cinema on (reduces judder from blurays), led clarity off, game mode off
    These are almost straight from CNET recommended settings.

      JesusSavedJoshua the picture with TV Brightness: Brighter, and Dark HDR setting is dim with the backlight any lower. These are the settings recommended from CNET.com and I think it looks stunning. If you you're watching SDR content with these settings it *can* be blinding at times, so I usually adjust TV Brightness to dim if I'm not watching HDR content

      @@musicismeds Cable providers dont broadcast in HDR, so the only way to take advantage of HDR is with HDR streaming content (Netflix, Prime Video) or 4K bluray discs. Even if you're watching SDR sports with cable it shouldnt be a dull image. I would go into your picture settings and adjust contrast to 100, backlight 100, brightness 50, dynamic contrast High, and TV Brightness to Dark or Bright
