Hey everyone! I tried to make this video as accessible as possible to the largest audience as possible. For those of you who like to get deep into settings, we could talk about that, too! Let me know as a reply to this comment what your top questions are and I’ll see what we can do!
Can you please discuss recommendations for motion processing ? My DLP home theatre projector has perfect native motion processing out of the box. Period. My OLED Sony has a great picture, but, the "sample-and-hold" is pure hell when the camera does a long slow pan. It's as jerky/choppy as hell. How do we make the panning on a flat panel look like a panning shot we grew up with in a movie theatre ? Thanks !
i dislike FILMMAKER because the motion is set to super stutter and I have to go in and change motion to how I like it and NO the creator did not want me to get dizzy with jittery pans
I've learned that OLED changes pixel colors so quickly that the judder can cause motion sickness. The tech is "too good," so some like to add a twinge of motion smoothing of one flavor or another. Good problem to have.
@@dickriggles942 right? but legit put it on the setting and you can tell something funky is happening. So I just went standard mode and adjusted all the settings until I got a picture I liked
How can these "So-called Experts" tell you NOT what setting to use??? I purchased my TV, not you or anyone else. Some people rely on this people, which is crazy. Just enjoy whatever you like, not what these "So-called Experts" want you what to watch. 🤦♂️ technically no setting is wrong, unless you enjoy "Vivid mode." Which personally I don't. Enjoy your TV. Just remember, YOU'RE WATCHING YOUR TV. KNOWONE ELSE. 👍🏻
I disagree with you...Who cares about the actual picture color vivid looks the best if I wanted to watch it in movie or filmmaker mood with the colors washed out the way the director intended it to be y would you even bother. Unless the director is paying me the $3500 bucks for my tv to watch it how he intended it to be I would have bought an old used 1990s set. The colors on my 95 inch look Amazing in vivid well it's actually Dynamic for Samsung I've done a back and forth on movies with at least 10 people in a room and when I say which way looks the best movie or vivid EVERYONE pick vivid all the time. Just saying...
Totally agree. Tried all the various options and vivid is my favourite. Tried using Cinema Night/day, and the pictures always has a yellowish look. Vivid definitely for me 👍
Just turn on vivid mode and change your white balance to a warmer one. Both bright and """colour accurate""" I have seen every other mode in my lg C1 ok? I like vivid for some reason, the cinema mode makes it look like everything is yellow. I feel like my TV got jaundice. But lately I have been noticing the blue tint in my vivid mode. So I gone to my picture settings, increased the oled pixel brightness and made the white balance to cold 10 which made the whites look neutral, at least to my eye. BTW I don't care what the director of the film intended the colour to look like, I will just prefer whatever looks good according to me I'm the calibrator to my eye so idc. Long message whoever read gets hatsoff
Reminds me of when people get pompous about "authentic" Mexican food. Like... that doesn't mean it tastes good. And everybody has their own way of going things.
@@brbubba yeah, if you change the picture mode to vivid without the 2 point caliberation that Caleb does, then it looks fine, once you make the oled's standard( i mean the picture without post processing) less yellow then the vivid is gonna look more blue. I use vivd, which has lower blue tint than standard , at Warm 5, which is such a sweet spot that it looks soo good. but in HDR i prefer the blue tint as it provides an illusion that the oled is brighter, i am both an LG CX as well as a C1 owner and im pretty sure, thi ssetting looks the same on both.
Actually, Vivid Mode has a purpose. At least for me it does. Since it is garbage at a default, one thing it's good for is as a starting point for very bright sun lit rooms. I just adjust things down, contrast, saturation etc and it becomes a great Daytime mode. The other modes just seem too dark in a bright room. Same concept of adjustment, just starting from the other end of the spectrum.
Tbh, I have to watch almost everything in vivid on my tv just so I can see what is happening - certainly when watching movies or tv shows through my Android streaming box. Standard, Cinema modes et al, are all so damn dark.
my man I got a A80J 77”. Vivid and max brightness all day. The other modes are just too dim and dull. Vivid makes the picture pop with vibrant colors and depth. The motion looks better too. My shit stays on vivid
Tv enthusiast don’t understand that the average consumer does not care about getting true to life, color, or lifelike images sometimes people like the Vivid mode, because it looks better than real life
who care about getting the most accurate color temperature ? select the mode you like the most and that's it ! I like mine with cold temp, I don't care if it's a bit too blue( it doesn't ), I think it look better
Thanks for the information. I use to use Vivid when I first bought my 4K OLED TV. Based on a previous vlog of yours. I started using Cinema. But I strongly disagree about occasionally using Vivid. When I watch a 4K stream or BlueRay and 4K DVD, especially with animation, Vivid is what I use. I find the color is brilliant and the picture looks almost like 3D. I use Cinema for everything else. After buying a 4K OLED TV, I feel that Vivid has some uses and shouldn’t be dismissed entirely.
I have a Samsung AU7700. I use Filmmaker Mode. It has good natural colors, and no motion smoothing. Vivid Mode in my TV looks garish, horrible. There is an old TV here at home that I use vivid mode, because that TV is so bad that Vivid Mode is the only way to give that TV any appeal in the image.
I agree with you, almost completely. I've got a 2016 Samsung 4K, and I have really enjoy the Vivid mode. As per that previous vid, I switched to Cinema, and it's much better than what I was used to. Maybe it's the age of my unit and the microdot LED rather than OLED technology. Both modes are great, in their respective places.
Caleb, your videos are always super helpful. I have one suggestion to make: When I first started with adjusting picture settings on my tv's it took me a while to catch on to the fact that you have to be watching a show that is broadcast or stream in the mode that you want to be adjusting, such as Dolby Vision, HDR, SDR, etc. And that once you make settings adjustments for that mode, the tv(hopefully) will revert to the settings you previously made for that mode. I realize that for most people that watch your videos and actually make picture setting adjustments, this information might be literally innate knowledge, but for those of us that were starting out make custom adjustments, it really took a while to come to that realization.
John, you are spot on.... Like you, I had to learn the hard way as to having the tv content set to my desired tv program...i.e. SDR (cable) Dolby Vision Netflix ..etc. Would be nice if others can mention that as a "requirement for us novices.. LOL!
If you setup Vivid mode right, it will look good. On my 65inch LG G1, I was playing around with Vivid mode especially in Dolby Vision. Then I finally found it looked great with all my living room lights on. Thats the only time I'll most probably use Vivid mode. Enjoy your TV brother. 👍🏻
I just got an LG C2. I find standard mode with the colors turned to warm are the best for me. Filmmaker mode was nice. But it completely kills all that HDR pop. I like the colors to pop but not too too much. So standard with a few adjustments seems to be the best .
You should choose whichever looks best for you. On my oled LG I like the Isf modes for both games and movies. Looks great. On my Panasonic lcd I chose cinema for movies with warm 2. And standard mode for video games with warm 1. Sharpness 0 for everything. Everything else off. There’s not 1 choice for everything.
I have a big gripe with Filmmaker Mode or any of the “accuracy”-centric modes in my LG G3, and that is that they kinda suck. - First of all, yea, they’re indeed too dark, even in a completely dark room up close, because it just doesn’t make highlights very bright and rather dim and muted, which just sucks and makes having a high-contrast image kind of pointless. It’s almost like watching on an IPS-panel, minus the true-blacks. - Also, it makes intentionally dark sources even darker. For example, I’ve been watching ‘Stranger Things’, which is not only dark with even crushed blacks, but also mostly lacks bright highlights, cause they want to emulate that film-look (actually, it was transferred to real film, but I’m sure they flattened to contrast even more). And it looks like that in HDR and the panel pretty much at full blast. And the G3 get blindingly bright. So if it already looks muted full-on, Filmmaker Mode and the like are just going to make for a weak experience being as dark as they are. What’s more is the overly warm white-balance. - I’ve seen other people debate this, but those who consider it too yellow are just correct, and it’s not a matter of “getting used to it”. Which you can, but then you’re just forcing your brain to think yellow is neutral, like with indoor home lighting usually being rather yellow and that becoming “neutral”. And true, “zero”, at least on this panel, is rather cold, but not bad. I’d say you shouldn’t go lower than 25 on the Warm side (it goes to 50 on this one), but definitely not 50 as it comes in those movie-modes. It just looks like an “old film filter”, trying too hard to look “classic” or something. I found that you can still go as high as 40, but probably 30-35 to not have it too warm, but definitely not over 40. - I mean, if it still looks yellow-ish when the room-lights I have are like 3000k yellow lights, something’s wrong.
Honestly I appreciate this. I used to love vivid mode because it's bright but with newer TVs it looks way over done. I'm getting my first oled so videos like this help explain why certain seeing exist.
If it's an LG then go with Filmmaker mode with the OLED Light (not to be confused with brightness) adjusted according to preference and Cinema or Cinema Home for Dolby Vision content. For gaming you'd wan't Game picture mode with colour temp set to Warm 2 and ALLM on if supported. I got my LG CX a couple of years ago (while it was current) and have loved it ever since.
I typically use Custom, cinema, ISF. These typically are close to the ideal setting. I've been calibrating my tv's since early 90's where I used a ISF calibration laser disc. Today's tv's are very good, and you can really get away with just using cinema mode and call it a day. I will say Sony has always had the best color setting since their XBR CRT's.
I use cinema mode mostly myself as well for most everything I watch. I tweak a bit here & there of course, & watch videos like this on calibration settings and helpful hints.
I’ve been watching you for a few months now and I must say my interest in televisions and the technology that comes with them has grown excessively. I currently have a 75 inch Q60a Qled Samsung it’s all I can afford lol! I love the tvs you guys post im a total sucker for a great looking picture and I must say these videos don’t help my obsession 😂 love what your doing it’s great and thanks for explaining everything your great hope you get to 1 million subs soon!
Very good video and applies to almost every TV :) I have a QN90B from Samsung and my personal preference for both SDR and HDR is Standard Mode as it is generally brighter. I also like it because I like to add a little bit of sharpness which helps with HD content in my opinion. The only things I change depending on what I am watching are Color tone and Color space. Standard color tone is sometimes too blue and cold so I switch to Warm1 (personally I would like something in-between). And Native color space sometimes has very unrealistic green colors so I switch it to Auto. In the end it depends on what your eyes are used to and how the content you are watching has been edited (post-processing can make a huge difference in how an image look).
A good TV picture should look like looking out of a WINDOW. In other words, life-like! ....... In my opinion, STORE (for in-store display), STANDARD, and VIVID (and the like) are all truly awful! ...... On the three flat screen TV's I have, by far the best picture is CINEMA / MOVIE, with all picture processing turned off. On my MORESENSE U7QFTUK, I've tweaked picture and sound to be as good as they can be. CINEMA NIGHT picture, and (using the TV speakers) surprisingly the DOLBY ATMOS THEATRE mode actually improves the sound (I'm a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so I know good sound), with the bass boosted in the Graphic Equaliser. I rate this TV highly for picture and sound at its price point! ....... With any TV, setting tweaking is essential! My TV looks and sounds great!
I use calibrated calibrated dark movie mode and whatever picture mode I think is best for a specific brand of TV. Once you have some experience with using picture settings you can find a picture that you like to watch. I haven't had any of my TV's calibrated but I do know how to use the TV picture settings to my advantage. As far as color temperature I've found that warm is really the best. I'm another one of those people who don't really like motion settings and like a natural picture as possible. But everyone has their own preference for tuning up their own TV's
@@Revolver1981 I believe you have an opinion--thank you for sharing that opinion like it is the only valid opinion. Welcome to American tolerance where other people's opinions are not allowed.
The best mode when it comes to Samsung TV's, is Dynamic. Everybody recommend the movie mode with Warm2 color.. If you like orange/yellow layer. And it not recommended at all.
U will get used to it and prefer it all day long. But u have to give it a Chance. It took me around 5 days to adapt and like it. U will appreciate all the colors and whenever u switch back to vivid u will know what i am talking about.
I would be interested to see a review of the new Samsung QN95B. The smart calibration via the Smart Things app doesn't work on the latest Samsung S22 phone 🤔🤔
This my comment … today TV’s have to many adjustment, that are not need!! There is a television broadcast standard that’s used to broadcast television signals (that’s over the air directly from the station’s transmitting antenna, or via cable or satellite provider, etc.). All that said, the standard NTSC (Analog), ATSC (Digital) give you what your suppose to have in a television signal! I worked in television transmission for 26 years before I retired in 2007! There have been adjustments in television sets from the very first B/W TV’s to todays flat panels, for what reason, personal preference! Yes, most people just take the TV out of the box and watch it as is! Most people that know me and want me to adjust there TV for them are usually amazed at the results after I’m through! Enough said and I’ll shut up now!
Don't forget your 4k player has picture modes that need to be adjusted. I noticed on playing The Fog for example was to Dark. Then I remembered to go and set the LG 4k players picture mode. You need to do this unfortunately ever disk you play because it resets to Standard picture mode. This fixed the darkness problem. The better the TV is better in general but you need to still check this setting. Good Video.
It's true, lighting for an office is always better using 4000-5000 kelvin instead of a yellow-ish 3000... It gives better color rendition and is less stressful for most people.
Oh woe is me, I use vivid mode. HOWEVER, in my defense I am visually impaired (no, that does not mean I’m ugly, I guess…). I have a problem of seeing color and contrast. So I use vivid mode but tweak it so it doesn’t blow out my retinas. 😳
A few days ago I again sampled the "Retail Store" demo mode on my 2019 Samsung Q90R. It was stunning and reaffirmed that this TV usually looks wonderful, and can provide about as nice a picture as I have ever seen! After I put the TV back into "Home Use" mode, I examined the changes to the settings that the demo mode had made. The TV was in Dynamic Mode. Hmmm. Just sayin'. I do use Standard Mode during the day and often Movie Mode at night having watched so many RUclips videos that say Movie Mode, and now Filmmaker Mode, is the best way to use the TV. But until I got this TV in 2020, I always used whatever high-contrast "dynamic" mode was available. That may have been appropriate until even just a few years ago when TVs gained a brighter picture; but nonetheless, Dynamic Mode is still impressive.
Trust me dude. It's all trickery. I used to be that guy. Dynamic/Demo modes are designed to get your attention. Brightness and saturation are cranked up. It can give eye-catching visuals that really "pop" but it is not a realistic picture. Spend some time (we're talking at least a solid year) with a more accurate picture mode and you'll retrain your eyes. The vivid modes will still look vivid, but they're also look blue-tinted and generally off. If you use an OLED set then vivid picture modes can even shorten the lifespan if your TV. Give Filmmaker, ISF or Cinema (depending on your set) a real shot and just crank up the backlight or OLED light depending on whether your screen is OLED or backlit. In the end, it's all entirely your own choice according to your preference. Just be aware that those picture modes will not be giving you an accurate image out of the box. If you prefer a unrealistic image of your TV watching and prefer things to be more vivid than real life then go nuts. Just make sure that you're not falling for the trickery. It can really take some time to retrain your eyes to a more realistic image.
@@j800r_aswell With the 2022 Samsung models I use Movie Mode on its defaults for HDR movies, and Intelligent Mode/Optimized for everything else. But for years dark movies we’re a real problem. Sometimes I still max out gamma and shadow detail, or use Dynamic Mode, and even sometimes watch in SDR via Apple TV 4K, but thankfully this seems to have become less necessary with newer and brighter TVs.
Your TV must be awful. I have one old TV here at home that needs Vivid Mode, otherwise it looks so dull. But in my new TV, a Samsung AU7700, I use Filmmaker Mode, and the colors are very natural and perfect, while Vivid Mode looks garish. Filmmaker Mode also turns off motion smoothing, which is a plus. In my TV, it really is the closest out-of-the-box to match original artistic intent.
For those that own a Sony, custom is the most accurate picture mode and is closer to the creators intent. Cinema mode is not as as it also adds things like Dynamic Contrast Enhancer, Live Colour and motion interpolation (soap opera effect) which I find distracting….
I disagree about vivid. I find that vivid works best for gaming, a medium where it wants the color to pop practically off the screen. It works far better than game mode.
These settings make your TV go from full on carnival garish to watching through a frosted bathroom window . Every expert uses high quality footage to adjust setting but real TV isn't like that different programmes and movies use or are different quality . You'd be fiddling for half an hour every programme to fix it and auto settings are a joke They assume what you want . Just use filmmaker mode dark and put up with horrible older programmes looking bad and adverts looking washed out at east your favourit movie will look kinda ok .
Vivid mode only works on a sh!tty TV/projector because it’s the only way to get any decent looking picture out of it 😂 most TVs are on standard out of the box and that does look “pretty good” for the person that doesn’t know much better…. They could be gaming sports news etc… anytime anywhere.
Great video...with some great ideas. You are spot-on with your recommendations! And your suggest to "play around with the settings..." if the best advice you can give...Thanks for your time.
Yeah like others are saying Vivid Mode is all I use and in tweak it to my liking. I sometimes turn down the color and other things. But each Vivid mode isn't the same. Specifically on Samsung it looks good, but can be too bright depending on what TV you have.
True , he's not really talking about Samsung, mostly LG and Panasonic. Vivid or dynamic on Samsung TV can be good especially on animation and MCU/ science fiction. What's ISF it's not on my Qled.👍
@@rikaardyyz3039 Not sure. Might be brand specific. My sister has a Vizio and her Vivid Mode did look horrible. So yeah it definitely depends on what brand you get
I used to fiddle with picture settings constantly, trying this reviewer's settings or that reviewer's settings and I just got tired of the constant fiddling and never being satisfied. So I decided to simplify my watching by resetting all the settings first, then carefully choosing which factory picture mode looked best to ME based on the content I was watching. I settled on Standard for watching sports during daytime hours (Sony's is very good) and Custom for movies any time after setting Custom close to Cinema Pro with just a touch of motion smoothing. I'll occasionally switch to Cinema Pro or Cinema Home for movies. For sports at night in a dark room I'll enable Light sensor. On my old Sonys I turn the Black Level down to 40 (from 50) for the deepest blacks. And you're right, Vivid and Sports are just too cold and obscenely bright for my taste. HDR and Dolby Vision bright for daytime and dark for nighttime. I wish I had an ISF Mode on my sets.
I use movie mode most of the time as my TV and gaming rigs are in a room with blackout curtains, and then turn on and off Game Mode as needed. Keep in mind I am using a TCL 43" UHDTV as both my TV and computer monitor. So when watching stuff on any number of the streaming services I use, I just turn game mode off, then, when I go in and play World of Warships or fly in DCS: World or Microsoft Flight Simulator, I just turn on Game Mode for the reduced input lag, and aside from an almost unnoticeable drop in picture quality, the input lag drops considerably which is great for fighting games, first person shooters and great for the fine inputs needed to hover a helicopter.
I agree with you I have a Samsung and they call it dynamic not vivid my LG had vivid. I hate all the other settings to dark or to dull and washed out. I only use vivid or dynamic on all my sets and it looks awesome...
Right. I got a Sony OLED and vivid mode is the only mode I use. Makes the colors and motion pop. All other modes look dull and very dim can’t even enjoy the TV.
@@unknownsource4359 I had a Sony but traded it for an LG because even Vivid was too dark. And yes, it used the same exact panel as my LG but Sony used their software to tighten the dynamics to THEIR choice of settings, but LG ranges the whole range (Just without Sony's fine tuning)
I'm late to the party but just bought a TV so here I am 6 months later. Thank you Caleb, this was quite helpful. When my new TV arrives, I'll be sure to cast Vivid & Sports modes straight into hell in your name lol... I haven't bought a new TV in a while, so all of these are still a bit daunting but watching this video gives me more confidence in at least being able to fake my way through the set-up.
Very helpful. I have a 2016 65" Samsung 4K, and I've been locked on vivid almost from the beginning. I saw one of your other vids, you advised turning to Cinema Mode, which I did. I hated it, too "warm", actually too dull and yellow, BUT I held out as advised. It's not bad after a week! I've jiggled up the contrast, pulled back a tad on the back light. It doesn't pop the way Vivid does, but it's a much better picture now than I was expecting. I'm not thrilled with the sports mode, but I like the idea of the higher picture refresh rate - 120 vs 60fps. But the color isn't great. I'm gonna boost the jiggle and the jutter speeds next and see what happen. Sadly, I've fallen in love with that SONY 77" OLED that my wife says I can't have. Gorgeous picture in the Big Box Warehouse store with the ultra bright florescent lighting. You just might be saving me a lot of money, and making my wife a happier woman with these vids. Thanks for the help!
Does anyone have any recommendations for a picture setting that looks best while watching animated content? I'm just using standard atm, but im curious if there's an out of the box setting that'll look better.
Onkyo AV receivers with Audyssey have a picture setting that includes ISF Day/Night, plus other picture settings. Combined with the available pictures settings on your TV, the picture is at it's absolute best for your taste. It's a shame that Onkyo decided to switch to AccuQ, which in my opinion, is horrible. Thanks for this enlightening video, because I just upgraded my TV from the Samsung F8000 to the Hisense UG7, and while it doesn't have as many picture settings as the Samsung, the picture is decent, and I've learned from this video how to tweak the picture to it's best.
I still do not understand how the Heck is it possible that all the tv's are 16:9 and all the series and movies are 21:9, the ugly black bars 🤢 they have to make all the movies, series and cinema's 16:9. That nobody have the black bars anymore.
It's whatever the director or director of photography chooses. Some do anamorphic at nominal 21:9, some 16:9, there's a few that do 16:10 or nominal 4:3.
Thank you for making the argument for Warm50/ D.65 white point. I had no idea how conditioned I was into watching a cold, blown out picture. Shout out to HDTV Test for really illustrating it using the snowy mountain Fellowship of the Ring.
I use power saving mode quite a lot especially if I have the news on or a boring sporting event, the only time I turn it off is during movies so many modern movies are way too dark!
Are you aware of how ridiculous TV settings have gotten? I'm an enthusiast and I'm sick of changing settings, tuning, etc. There needs to be a better way.
I find vivid mode is horrendous in everything, except Dolby vision content, I find when watching Dolby vision on my lg cx, vivid mode with a few adjustments makes the content really pop in a good way.
Let’s buy an expensive tv that gives you all these cool features to enhance the picture quality and let’s just turn everything off. I never understood this why use the setting and features to your advantage

Same here I agree
"promply turning of power saving mode" is the most powerful thing I did to my TV, huge improvement. Kudos to this guide.
Vivid mode is fine just relax
Sorry buddy. My Sony Bravia looks best with vivid mode.
my man I got a A80J 77”.
Vivid and max brightness all day. The other modes are just too dim and dull.
Vivid makes the picture pop with vibrant colors and depth. The motion looks better too. My shit stays on vivid
Tv enthusiast don’t understand that the average consumer does not care about getting true to life, color, or lifelike images sometimes people like the Vivid mode, because it looks better than real life
who care about getting the most accurate color temperature ? select the mode you like the most and that's it !
I like mine with cold temp, I don't care if it's a bit too blue( it doesn't ), I think it look better
I only like Vivid mode, the other modes are horrible. I like cool blue, and not warm orange.
Eventually you’ll see the LIGHT. ☀️
I liked vivid mode on my old 1080p samsung tv. Lol.
oh is it? i like vivd mode if it is good, i like it on my LG C1 and CX
Thanks for the information. I use to use Vivid when I first bought my 4K OLED TV. Based on a previous vlog of yours. I started using Cinema. But I strongly disagree about occasionally using Vivid. When I watch a 4K stream or BlueRay and 4K DVD, especially with animation, Vivid is what I use. I find the color is brilliant and the picture looks almost like 3D. I use Cinema for everything else. After buying a 4K OLED TV, I feel that Vivid has some uses and shouldn’t be dismissed entirely.
@Leonard Krasner, I also use Vivid. I just got my Sony A80J yesterday. Vivid mode is just so beautiful to me. I love it.
I have a Samsung AU7700. I use Filmmaker Mode. It has good natural colors, and no motion smoothing.
Vivid Mode in my TV looks garish, horrible.
There is an old TV here at home that I use vivid mode, because that TV is so bad that Vivid Mode is the only way to give that TV any appeal in the image.
I agree with you, almost completely. I've got a 2016 Samsung 4K, and I have really enjoy the Vivid mode. As per that previous vid, I switched to Cinema, and it's much better than what I was used to. Maybe it's the age of my unit and the microdot LED rather than OLED technology. Both modes are great, in their respective places.
I use vivid all the time.
I use vivid all the time on my 77” A80J. The XR processor works well with vivid mode.
Every house I go to I grab the remote fix their picture settings and they are shocked at how good their TV looks
Dynamic for all (samsung)
Caleb, your videos are always super helpful. I have one suggestion to make: When I first started with adjusting picture settings on my tv's it took me a while to catch on to the fact that you have to be watching a show that is broadcast or stream in the mode that you want to be adjusting, such as Dolby Vision, HDR, SDR, etc. And that once you make settings adjustments for that mode, the tv(hopefully) will revert to the settings you previously made for that mode. I realize that for most people that watch your videos and actually make picture setting adjustments, this information might be literally innate knowledge, but for those of us that were starting out make custom adjustments, it really took a while to come to that realization.
John, you are spot on.... Like you, I had to learn the hard way as to having the tv content set to my desired tv program...i.e. SDR (cable) Dolby Vision Netflix ..etc. Would be nice if others can mention that as a "requirement for us novices.. LOL!
For me, I got too used to using Vivid since 2009 so I can't view anything in Standard or other options...
If you setup Vivid mode right, it will look good. On my 65inch LG G1, I was playing around with Vivid mode especially in Dolby Vision. Then I finally found it looked great with all my living room lights on. Thats the only time I'll most probably use Vivid mode. Enjoy your TV brother. 👍🏻
@@raymondluke92
True. For me, I watch it in a dark room.
I just got an LG C2. I find standard mode with the colors turned to warm are the best for me. Filmmaker mode was nice. But it completely kills all that HDR pop. I like the colors to pop but not too too much. So standard with a few adjustments seems to be the best .
There is such thing as option overload. I’m feeling nostalgic for the days of just brightness and contrast adjustments!
Nobody is forcing you to use any mode. Just use standard.
Vivid on the LG C2 is amazing. Idk what you’re talking about dude.
You should choose whichever looks best for you. On my oled LG I like the Isf modes for both games and movies. Looks great.
On my Panasonic lcd I chose cinema for movies with warm 2. And standard mode for video games with warm 1. Sharpness 0 for everything. Everything else off.
There’s not 1 choice for everything.
What's Isf mode?
I spent a lot of time and found vivid the best, o well. set backlight to 45% , not pic brightness backlight , tv runs a lot cooler.
I have a big gripe with Filmmaker Mode or any of the “accuracy”-centric modes in my LG G3, and that is that they kinda suck. - First of all, yea, they’re indeed too dark, even in a completely dark room up close, because it just doesn’t make highlights very bright and rather dim and muted, which just sucks and makes having a high-contrast image kind of pointless. It’s almost like watching on an IPS-panel, minus the true-blacks. - Also, it makes intentionally dark sources even darker. For example, I’ve been watching ‘Stranger Things’, which is not only dark with even crushed blacks, but also mostly lacks bright highlights, cause they want to emulate that film-look (actually, it was transferred to real film, but I’m sure they flattened to contrast even more). And it looks like that in HDR and the panel pretty much at full blast. And the G3 get blindingly bright.
So if it already looks muted full-on, Filmmaker Mode and the like are just going to make for a weak experience being as dark as they are.
What’s more is the overly warm white-balance. - I’ve seen other people debate this, but those who consider it too yellow are just correct, and it’s not a matter of “getting used to it”. Which you can, but then you’re just forcing your brain to think yellow is neutral, like with indoor home lighting usually being rather yellow and that becoming “neutral”.
And true, “zero”, at least on this panel, is rather cold, but not bad. I’d say you shouldn’t go lower than 25 on the Warm side (it goes to 50 on this one), but definitely not 50 as it comes in those movie-modes. It just looks like an “old film filter”, trying too hard to look “classic” or something. I found that you can still go as high as 40, but probably 30-35 to not have it too warm, but definitely not over 40. - I mean, if it still looks yellow-ish when the room-lights I have are like 3000k yellow lights, something’s wrong.
I don't want real life colours on my TV. Life's shit so give me bright and vivid so I can escape the grey reality!
I'm the only one thinkin' most movies and games of today are WAY too bright? i always start a game by dropping the brightness to a half hahaha
Honestly I appreciate this. I used to love vivid mode because it's bright but with newer TVs it looks way over done. I'm getting my first oled so videos like this help explain why certain seeing exist.
If it's an LG then go with Filmmaker mode with the OLED Light (not to be confused with brightness) adjusted according to preference and Cinema or Cinema Home for Dolby Vision content. For gaming you'd wan't Game picture mode with colour temp set to Warm 2 and ALLM on if supported.
I got my LG CX a couple of years ago (while it was current) and have loved it ever since.
I typically use Custom, cinema, ISF. These typically are close to the ideal setting. I've been calibrating my tv's since early 90's where I used a ISF calibration laser disc. Today's tv's are very good, and you can really get away with just using cinema mode and call it a day. I will say Sony has always had the best color setting since their XBR CRT's.
I use cinema mode mostly myself as well for most everything I watch. I tweak a bit here & there of course, & watch videos like this on calibration settings and helpful hints.
i would love to use custom as it helps you create a mode from scratch, but LG does not allow custom
Yes, it typically cost a lot of money to have a professional calibrate a audio/video system so I would do it myself.
always pick vivid. It blows your eyes out baby
I’ve been watching you for a few months now and I must say my interest in televisions and the technology that comes with them has grown excessively. I currently have a 75 inch Q60a Qled Samsung it’s all I can afford lol! I love the tvs you guys post im a total sucker for a great looking picture and I must say these videos don’t help my obsession 😂 love what your doing it’s great and thanks for explaining everything your great hope you get to 1 million subs soon!
Very good video and applies to almost every TV :)
I have a QN90B from Samsung and my personal preference for both SDR and HDR is Standard Mode as it is generally brighter. I also like it because I like to add a little bit of sharpness which helps with HD content in my opinion. The only things I change depending on what I am watching are Color tone and Color space. Standard color tone is sometimes too blue and cold so I switch to Warm1 (personally I would like something in-between). And Native color space sometimes has very unrealistic green colors so I switch it to Auto. In the end it depends on what your eyes are used to and how the content you are watching has been edited (post-processing can make a huge difference in how an image look).
A good TV picture should look like looking out of a WINDOW. In other words, life-like! ....... In my opinion, STORE (for in-store display), STANDARD, and VIVID (and the like) are all truly awful! ...... On the three flat screen TV's I have, by far the best picture is CINEMA / MOVIE, with all picture processing turned off.
On my MORESENSE U7QFTUK, I've tweaked picture and sound to be as good as they can be. CINEMA NIGHT picture, and (using the TV speakers) surprisingly the DOLBY ATMOS THEATRE mode actually improves the sound (I'm a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so I know good sound), with the bass boosted in the Graphic Equaliser. I rate this TV highly for picture and sound at its price point! ....... With any TV, setting tweaking is essential! My TV looks and sounds great!
I use calibrated calibrated dark movie mode and whatever picture mode I think is best for a specific brand of TV. Once you have some experience with using picture settings you can find a picture that you like to watch. I haven't had any of my TV's calibrated but I do know how to use the TV picture settings to my advantage. As far as color temperature I've found that warm is really the best. I'm another one of those people who don't really like motion settings and like a natural picture as possible. But everyone has their own preference for tuning up their own TV's
I love sports mode for watching soccer / baseball. Much easier to see the teams and don't care if the color isn't perfect. It's great for sports.
True for sports. Use sport mode
No it's not. It's way too bright. Standard mode is better.
@@Revolver1981 I believe you have an opinion--thank you for sharing that opinion like it is the only valid opinion. Welcome to American tolerance where other people's opinions are not allowed.
The best mode when it comes to Samsung TV's, is Dynamic.
Everybody recommend the movie mode with Warm2 color..
If you like orange/yellow layer. And it not recommended at all.
Vivid mode does have its uses. I've found it helps when watching old faded color movies! Movie mode gives a yellow cast that I dislike.
U will get used to it and prefer it all day long. But u have to give it a Chance. It took me around 5 days to adapt and like it. U will appreciate all the colors and whenever u switch back to vivid u will know what i am talking about.
Its an acquired taste, like your first time trying beer. If you cant understand the reasonings why its better just take our word for it (Y).
You can adjust yellow cast in vivid / dolby vision going step colder in white setting colour
I love vivid mode on my tv’s!!!! I love the bright colors and all!!!
Super underrated use for vivid mode. Early generation color film always looks a little faded.
On my LG I just use vivid. I find it’s the only mode that makes everything pop. Nothing else even comes close.
I am the same.
Same here a agree seems like most people use vivid or on Samsung they call vivid Dynamic...my go too settings on all my tvs
Way to complicated for the average person, who just wants to turn on t(e TV, and watch a show, not have to adjust everything !!!
Grasshopper porn in vivid mode. Nah!
Interesting how he used video game footage while talking about sports mode
I have vivid mode and it’s perfect. Don’t like cinema, sports , standard or any of the other. Vivid mode has perfect color.
I would be interested to see a review of the new Samsung QN95B. The smart calibration via the Smart Things app doesn't work on the latest Samsung S22 phone 🤔🤔
Tv is overrated and you can brick it using the phone calibration
Standard Mode is always the best to me. Other modes do not come close.
why does eco mode exist on these tvs? they run on fumes as it is especially new models
The only thing I've found vivid mode works well with is when watching cartoons or CGI.
Grow up
@@zoobrizz 🤣
This my comment … today TV’s have to many adjustment, that are not need!! There is a television broadcast standard that’s used to broadcast television signals (that’s over the air directly from the station’s transmitting antenna, or via cable or satellite provider, etc.). All that said, the standard NTSC (Analog), ATSC (Digital) give you what your suppose to have in a television signal! I worked in television transmission for 26 years before I retired in 2007! There have been adjustments in television sets from the very first B/W TV’s to todays flat panels, for what reason, personal preference! Yes, most people just take the TV out of the box and watch it as is! Most people that know me and want me to adjust there TV for them are usually amazed at the results after I’m through! Enough said and I’ll shut up now!
Don't forget your 4k player has picture modes that need to be adjusted. I noticed on playing The Fog for example was to Dark.
Then I remembered to go and set the LG 4k players picture mode. You need to do this unfortunately ever disk you play because it resets to Standard picture mode. This fixed the darkness problem.
The better the TV is better in general but you need to still check this setting. Good Video.
I like watching race car tv shows like f1 and movie mode yellowness is very bad
I use the picture mode that I like on my tv
Exactly. It ain't rocket science. 👍🏻
Don't understand why people buy very bright TVs with deep contrast and colors only to use washed out looking garbage mode like Cinema mode.
It's true, lighting for an office is always better using 4000-5000 kelvin instead of a yellow-ish 3000...
It gives better color rendition and is less stressful for most people.
Oh woe is me, I use vivid mode. HOWEVER, in my defense I am visually impaired (no, that does not mean I’m ugly, I guess…). I have a problem of seeing color and contrast. So I use vivid mode but tweak it so it doesn’t blow out my retinas. 😳
@telegram me👍@officialdigitaltrends Is it an LG OLED?🤔🤔🤔😊😊😊. just saying…. what is the 411 on this giveaway?
boy, people sure have strong feelings about this ...seems like they're borderline offended lol
But I like Vivid mode, darn it!
All hail to Vivid Mode.
A few days ago I again sampled the "Retail Store" demo mode on my 2019 Samsung Q90R. It was stunning and reaffirmed that this TV usually looks wonderful, and can provide about as nice a picture as I have ever seen! After I put the TV back into "Home Use" mode, I examined the changes to the settings that the demo mode had made. The TV was in Dynamic Mode. Hmmm. Just sayin'. I do use Standard Mode during the day and often Movie Mode at night having watched so many RUclips videos that say Movie Mode, and now Filmmaker Mode, is the best way to use the TV. But until I got this TV in 2020, I always used whatever high-contrast "dynamic" mode was available. That may have been appropriate until even just a few years ago when TVs gained a brighter picture; but nonetheless, Dynamic Mode is still impressive.
Trust me dude. It's all trickery. I used to be that guy. Dynamic/Demo modes are designed to get your attention. Brightness and saturation are cranked up. It can give eye-catching visuals that really "pop" but it is not a realistic picture. Spend some time (we're talking at least a solid year) with a more accurate picture mode and you'll retrain your eyes. The vivid modes will still look vivid, but they're also look blue-tinted and generally off.
If you use an OLED set then vivid picture modes can even shorten the lifespan if your TV. Give Filmmaker, ISF or Cinema (depending on your set) a real shot and just crank up the backlight or OLED light depending on whether your screen is OLED or backlit.
In the end, it's all entirely your own choice according to your preference. Just be aware that those picture modes will not be giving you an accurate image out of the box. If you prefer a unrealistic image of your TV watching and prefer things to be more vivid than real life then go nuts. Just make sure that you're not falling for the trickery. It can really take some time to retrain your eyes to a more realistic image.
@@j800r_aswell With the 2022 Samsung models I use Movie Mode on its defaults for HDR movies, and Intelligent Mode/Optimized for everything else. But for years dark movies we’re a real problem. Sometimes I still max out gamma and shadow detail, or use Dynamic Mode, and even sometimes watch in SDR via Apple TV 4K, but thankfully this seems to have become less necessary with newer and brighter TVs.
Sorry I am still confused
Does a certificate organization exist for certifying tvs claiming they have a filmmaker mode
I don't like standard I prefer dynamic or vivid mode really brings out the color range to me
Your TV must be awful. I have one old TV here at home that needs Vivid Mode, otherwise it looks so dull. But in my new TV, a Samsung AU7700, I use Filmmaker Mode, and the colors are very natural and perfect, while Vivid Mode looks garish.
Filmmaker Mode also turns off motion smoothing, which is a plus. In my TV, it really is the closest out-of-the-box to match original artistic intent.
Wayyyyy too bright n saturated imo
For those that own a Sony, custom is the most accurate picture mode and is closer to the creators intent. Cinema mode is not as as it also adds things like Dynamic Contrast Enhancer, Live Colour and motion interpolation (soap opera effect) which I find distracting….
I disagree about vivid. I find that vivid works best for gaming, a medium where it wants the color to pop practically off the screen. It works far better than game mode.
I use vivid for everything, except sports 🤭
Facts vivid mode makes your tv pop and comes alive and clear I hate low brightness tv
Yup I agree with you.
@@Pekelder me too
Me too. I alway put vivid on my Sony oled
These settings make your TV go from full on carnival garish to watching through a frosted bathroom window .
Every expert uses high quality footage to adjust setting but real TV isn't like that different programmes and movies use or are different quality .
You'd be fiddling for half an hour every programme to fix it and auto settings are a joke
They assume what you want .
Just use filmmaker mode dark and put up with horrible older programmes looking bad and adverts looking washed out at east your favourit movie will look kinda ok .
Vivid mode only works on a sh!tty TV/projector because it’s the only way to get any decent looking picture out of it 😂 most TVs are on standard out of the box and that does look “pretty good” for the person that doesn’t know much better…. They could be gaming sports news etc… anytime anywhere.
Great video...with some great ideas. You are spot-on with your recommendations! And your suggest to "play around with the settings..." if the best advice you can give...Thanks for your time.
On my sony x90j I usually stick with cinema,imax or calibrated on Netflix
Best mode is everything on 50 percent and sharpness on 20 percent
I use Vaseline mode.
It replicates a nice thick smear of petroleum jelly over the entire screen, I don't want to see the pores of some dudes skin
Yeah like others are saying Vivid Mode is all I use and in tweak it to my liking. I sometimes turn down the color and other things. But each Vivid mode isn't the same. Specifically on Samsung it looks good, but can be too bright depending on what TV you have.
True , he's not really talking about Samsung, mostly LG and Panasonic.
Vivid or dynamic on Samsung TV can be good especially on animation and MCU/ science fiction.
What's ISF it's not on my Qled.👍
@@rikaardyyz3039 Not sure. Might be brand specific. My sister has a Vizio and her Vivid Mode did look horrible. So yeah it definitely depends on what brand you get
I have the Sony A80J and vivid mode looks amazing to me. I just upgraded from a Samsung KS8000.
I have a Samsung AU7700. I think Vivid Mode looks garish in it. I use filmmaker mode. Far more natural colors, and no motion smoothing.
@@kwesiwilliams1188 I also have a 77” A80J. Vivid mode works wonderfully with the XR processor from Sony
I used to fiddle with picture settings constantly, trying this reviewer's settings or that reviewer's settings and I just got tired of the constant fiddling and never being satisfied. So I decided to simplify my watching by resetting all the settings first, then carefully choosing which factory picture mode looked best to ME based on the content I was watching. I settled on Standard for watching sports during daytime hours (Sony's is very good) and Custom for movies any time after setting Custom close to Cinema Pro with just a touch of motion smoothing. I'll occasionally switch to Cinema Pro or Cinema Home for movies. For sports at night in a dark room I'll enable Light sensor. On my old Sonys I turn the Black Level down to 40 (from 50) for the deepest blacks.
And you're right, Vivid and Sports are just too cold and obscenely bright for my taste. HDR and Dolby Vision bright for daytime and dark for nighttime. I wish I had an ISF Mode on my sets.
I use movie mode most of the time as my TV and gaming rigs are in a room with blackout curtains, and then turn on and off Game Mode as needed. Keep in mind I am using a TCL 43" UHDTV as both my TV and computer monitor. So when watching stuff on any number of the streaming services I use, I just turn game mode off, then, when I go in and play World of Warships or fly in DCS: World or Microsoft Flight Simulator, I just turn on Game Mode for the reduced input lag, and aside from an almost unnoticeable drop in picture quality, the input lag drops considerably which is great for fighting games, first person shooters and great for the fine inputs needed to hover a helicopter.
I have IMAX Enhanced on my Sony, love how that looks.
You pay top dollar for your TV, watch it however you like.
I use vivid mode. You'll never convince me to use anything else, with Dolby Vision content being the SOLE EXCEPTION.
I agree with you I have a Samsung and they call it dynamic not vivid my LG had vivid. I hate all the other settings to dark or to dull and washed out. I only use vivid or dynamic on all my sets and it looks awesome...
Right. I got a Sony OLED and vivid mode is the only mode I use. Makes the colors and motion pop.
All other modes look dull and very dim can’t even enjoy the TV.
@@unknownsource4359 I had a Sony but traded it for an LG because even Vivid was too dark. And yes, it used the same exact panel as my LG but Sony used their software to tighten the dynamics to THEIR choice of settings, but LG ranges the whole range (Just without Sony's fine tuning)
I'm late to the party but just bought a TV so here I am 6 months later. Thank you Caleb, this was quite helpful. When my new TV arrives, I'll be sure to cast Vivid & Sports modes straight into hell in your name lol... I haven't bought a new TV in a while, so all of these are still a bit daunting but watching this video gives me more confidence in at least being able to fake my way through the set-up.
Vivid is best
My samsung has a natural mode which when adjusted properly is what I use.
I use whichever one I enjoy viewing, I don't need someone to tell me what's best for me besides me!
Very helpful. I have a 2016 65" Samsung 4K, and I've been locked on vivid almost from the beginning. I saw one of your other vids, you advised turning to Cinema Mode, which I did. I hated it, too "warm", actually too dull and yellow, BUT I held out as advised. It's not bad after a week! I've jiggled up the contrast, pulled back a tad on the back light. It doesn't pop the way Vivid does, but it's a much better picture now than I was expecting. I'm not thrilled with the sports mode, but I like the idea of the higher picture refresh rate - 120 vs 60fps. But the color isn't great. I'm gonna boost the jiggle and the jutter speeds next and see what happen. Sadly, I've fallen in love with that SONY 77" OLED that my wife says I can't have. Gorgeous picture in the Big Box Warehouse store with the ultra bright florescent lighting. You just might be saving me a lot of money, and making my wife a happier woman with these vids. Thanks for the help!
Dude is she your mother? Your an adult. You want that oled, you go get yo self that oled
I'm blind, so I can only imagine.
My Sony A8H has two motion settings I'm confused about.
Motionflow, and CineMotion...what's the difference?
My TV is too old for all of this.
Vivid mode for anime is ❤️
Does anyone have any recommendations for a picture setting that looks best while watching animated content? I'm just using standard atm, but im curious if there's an out of the box setting that'll look better.
I used Vivid mode one evening and quite enjoyed it, but afterwards in the shower I just couldn’t scrub off that dirty feeling.
Dude stop begging for “ subs” Jeesh.
Onkyo AV receivers with Audyssey have a picture setting that includes ISF Day/Night, plus other picture settings. Combined with the available pictures settings on your TV, the picture is at it's absolute best for your taste. It's a shame that Onkyo decided to switch to AccuQ, which in my opinion, is horrible. Thanks for this enlightening video, because I just upgraded my TV from the Samsung F8000 to the Hisense UG7, and while it doesn't have as many picture settings as the Samsung, the picture is decent, and I've learned from this video how to tweak the picture to it's best.
Vivid is a nice gimmic. But if you want actual legit stick with Movie, but make sure to go through settings too.
I still do not understand how the Heck is it possible that all the tv's are 16:9 and all the series and movies are 21:9, the ugly black bars 🤢 they have to make all the movies, series and cinema's 16:9. That nobody have the black bars anymore.
some movies are shot with wide lenses such as anamorphic hence why you have black bars
It's whatever the director or director of photography chooses.
Some do anamorphic at nominal 21:9, some 16:9, there's a few that do 16:10 or nominal 4:3.
I prefer standard mode in cinema mode some people's faces look too yellowish
Does this apply to watching cable broadcast tv? Everything mentions movies and gaming
Thank you for making the argument for Warm50/ D.65 white point. I had no idea how conditioned I was into watching a cold, blown out picture.
Shout out to HDTV Test for really illustrating it using the snowy mountain Fellowship of the Ring.
I use power saving mode quite a lot especially if I have the news on or a boring sporting event, the only time I turn it off is during movies so many modern movies are way too dark!
that's a good use case
With all of the changes to picture mode that is exactly why I stick the standard and do a little changes here and there
Vivid for me on my X95J lol. I did get the TV professional calibrated but still prefer vivid.
Eventually you’ll see the LIGHT. ☀️
I switched over to the calibrated mode. Vivid is a little too bright now after owning the Tv for about a year
Are you aware of how ridiculous TV settings have gotten? I'm an enthusiast and I'm sick of changing settings, tuning, etc. There needs to be a better way.
I honestly like more settings. It's a set once and done deal versus limiting you to settings you hate.
I find vivid mode is horrendous in everything, except Dolby vision content, I find when watching Dolby vision on my lg cx, vivid mode with a few adjustments makes the content really pop in a good way.
When you watch anything in HDR or Dolby Vision, the TV kicks into a seperate picture mode. HD content and HDR are different
@@PeterParker-cm1gb hdr on my lg cx in vivid is complete garbage, only Dolby vision is good
Let’s buy an expensive tv that gives you all these cool features to enhance the picture quality and let’s just turn everything off. I never understood this why use the setting and features to your advantage
