Even after applying the previously mentioned settings, every TV will vary slightly based on the viewing environment. Using Expert Settings on your Samsung TV gives you the freedom to fine-tune your display to match your environment.
While some may not require adjusting, there are a few important settings you can change to create an optimal viewing experience. Backlight determines how much light is emitted from your TV. You can alter this setting depending on the time of day you’re watching TV. Contrast impacts the darker and lighter aspects of your display. The contrast settings are typically adequate on most TVs, but you can raise the contrast if some of the on-screen elements aren’t bright enough.
Samsung recommends a brightness level of around 50%, which is set by default. If it’s set too dark, you’ll lose detail in darker shots. Too high, and black and darker elements will appear too bright. Sharpness helps to define objects and their outlines on-screen. When correcting sharpness, lower is better, as high levels of sharpness will exaggerate shapes and outlines too much. You can find more settings, such as Auto Motion Plus, beneath Apply Picture Settings. While this feature is beneficial when watching sports, it’s heavily recommended to turn off this feature for movies, as it’s known to cause image quality issues.
