5 TV Settings That Should be ILLEGAL (for Harming Picture Quality)

Thanks policeman

The factory tint is always too high -Jerry Smith

0 sharpness is too blurry. I keep it in the middle. Soap Opera is mandatory for me. I usually like your videos, but I don't agree with most of this one.

On the topic of motion smoothing:
I know it's the devil. I know it introduces artifacts. But when it's turned off, all I see is a jumpy image, or even black silhouettes on the largest moving objects on screen. I dunno. It's worse when I'm watching content that's 60fps or higher then go back to 24/30

hi Vincent, could you help me on my 4k lg tv having sound in action scenes too loud while dialogue volume is too low for most of the movies

I keep changing my settings cuz some movies are so fucking dark all I see are silhouettes for a while…

Nah fuck 24 fps. But also fuck smoothing. Alsp warm looks way too yellow on everything. I think i disagree eith everything here

I expected you to talk about adjust contrast..its the biggest factor on my u6k ..its unbelievable how much more natural the picture looks when its turned off

Sport/motion mode is the only way I can use my TLC tv. The TV somehow handles movement is a SUPER choppy way. It seem to be skipping or doing something weird to the image every frame that causes it to be SUPER noticeably chopping. All panning shots are very laggy and choppy. Only thing I could minimize this is with the sport mode. This is essentially motion smoothing BUT because the "native" video is so god damn choppy, it balances it out and the movement is natural-ish.

but I can see the same choppyness in these videos as well.... is it that I am so used to high framerates on PC that 24 just looks SUPER choppy? Cant be, because same media on my PC monitor does not have that laggy effect.

I one knew a guy who owned a tv and was showing off his live drone sending the live capture to the tv, and the sharpness was turned up to the max. It looked so bad but my one friend was like "wow" ......oh my goodness it looked so fake and artificial; I cringe to know that so many people get motion smoothing and oversharpening wrong. I get that some people may need the motion smoothing because of motion sickness, but unless you actually have vestibular problems or something similar, you need to train your eyes to watch content without fake motion smoothing. I once asked that same friend when i was at his house "okay so you like motion smoothing...do you notice a problem when going to the movie theaters without it?" He stood there thinking and slowly said no.... Its all because you have to train your brain to get use to it. Don't jump back n forth between comparing the two, just change it and just go a month having it off; if you are able to do that, then don't use motion smoothing (some of us get motion sickness from motion smoothing).

Most iPhone and Android phones have Yellowist Tone by default, but people still want their TV display to look Cooler...

Picture smoothing is an absolute must for me now!! It makes movies so much better! And allows you to play games at 60fps!

If you think a step further: It's clear that the initial TV settings are not perfect for a reality near picture but for selling TVs. Note that the TV comes first to the seller and he will put it up for display there. Reality is not a selling point, overly saturated colors and overly sharpened images are. Understandable that the first action you will have to do at home is change the settings to a reality near setting.

Thanks I genuinely don't understand most settings. It always feels counterintuitive.

The left snow looks more real lol, snow is not yellow lol

Am I blind?

I can’t stand motion smoothing I wish it was never an option on any tv! I just prefer normal motion processing.

Thank you very much bro 😎 u had Cleared a huge doubt from my mind, thus what is a called a true Content, thanks again 😊

Parkzer, Parkzer, the Californian lawyer? 😮

motion smoothing is something I love switching on in movies. More immersive

Actually I don't mind the motion smoothing. TBH, my eyes hurt whenever the scene pans to a specific view in 24fps. It really hurts my eyes and gives me headache.

But your YT video is 60p !!

i feel like this guy can go to any TV and input these settings at a crazy speed with 1 hand lol like in Cable Guy

Brilliant - thank you! Fully and clearly explained.

i have still 1 samsung fron 10 years ago its a 60 Inch full hd tv , should i turn the sharpness to 0 or somewhere between 10-20% thanks

Motion Smoothness should be illegal? this is when I disliked!! I'm relieved tho clowns like him don't make the laws!

I actually like motion smoothing. Lmao

I once had a TV that forced overscan on for all HDMI content, but allowed you to turn it off for the VGA signal.... WHY?? What dunce thought digital video needed to be fucked up by forcing overscan, thereby forcing the video signal to be scaled up so it couldn't display pixels 1:1? If your computer has a 1080p screen, set it to 720p. It looks like shit doesn't it? That's what my TV forced all video to look like because some bonehead thought it was necessary to force overscannning.

FYI I have a high end (120Hz) OLED and prefer watching my movies on my 2012 (600Hz) Plasma TV….Manufactures chase resolution because faster refresh rates are much more difficult to achieve.

I have to disagree about the snow. I live in part of Canada with snow 6 months a year and it's 100% that blue. Maybe there's pollution yellowing the snow where you live.

Great video, although I have one question. How can you turn off jutter? I watch a lot of (4K UHD) blu-rays and the judder during panning shots is insanely annoying. I can't seem to find an answer, and I hope someone can help me out.

sorry but that 'warm' snow in lotr just looks like it's been pissed all over

SALUDOS ALGUIEN TIENE LOS PARÁMETROS DE CALIBRACIÓN DE SAMSUNG UE46C9000??

Can you revisit bfi? Dynamic tone mapping? For MOVIES

Snow still look yellow😮

I own being weird, lol, love SOE

Even in the example smoothing on looks better. With “just scan off” it seems to crop the image. Seems like in is what would show more.

I love motuon smoothing, or motion interpolation. I dont think it cheapens the look at all. I agree with every other setting here though.

Should I use cinema mode if U dont have the FILMMAKER MODE ?

I can't live without motion smoothing, I don't care about your opinions.

I can’t live without motion smoothing on

Why would I want the background to look like a slideshow in fast moving shots?

Yes totally I agree with you... Recently I changed all these settings & now it looks real & professional.

Can you do a video like this for skyglass TVs please? If you haven’t already done one.
Thanks.

I'm italian and you are the N1. Amazing example of nerd-light-hearted-brilliant-intelligent guy.

Would these settings still stand for the latest (2024) OLED TV's??
