The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and consumers want to get their TV settings right for an immersive viewing experience. Consumer Reports (CR) is here to help, providing expert tips on how to improve your TV’s picture quality.
CR recommends switching from the TV’s preset sports mode to a mode that offers better picture quality, such as filmmaker mode or custom mode. This will give you closer to the settings used by filmmakers.
To take your TV’s picture to the next level, try these adjustments:
* Lower the brightness and black level of dark scenes without losing background details.
* Raise the contrast and white level for bright scenes while maintaining background details.
* Set the color temperature to “warm” or “low” to avoid blue yard lines.
* Adjust the tint to achieve natural flesh tones.
Additionally, CR offers a TV Screen Optimizer tool that provides expert settings for TVs dating back to 2013. Members can save time by using this exclusive resource.
