TV Calibration Basics

Set up your TV for better picture

This guide outlines quick TV calibration: choose the right picture mode, set brightness/contrast, adjust color temperature, disable aggressive motion smoothing, and fine-tune sharpness.

Pick a base mode

Start with Movie/Cinema or Filmmaker mode for accuracy.

Set brightness and contrast

Adjust to avoid crushed blacks or blown highlights; use built-in patterns if available.

Color temperature

Use Warm/Normal for natural skin tones; avoid overly cool settings.

Tweak motion and sharpness

Reduce motion smoothing and keep sharpness low to avoid artifacts.
