TV Fine Tuning Guide

1.Before you turn the TV on, read the manual thoroughly and familiarise yourself with the terms you will encounter regarding TV calibration and setting adjustment.

2.Choose a set of DVD films that you can use as colour testing tools. It is advisable to use films that highlight colour, darkness, white, and brightness. If you are familiar with your film collections, this task is fairly easy for you. Sit comfortably and in your normal eye level position your distance from the TV.

3.Power on the TV and the connected DVD player. Play the movie and scroll to the Menu settings. This can be done manually or through your remote control. I f you choose to do it by remote control make sure you are aware what buttons to press. You can also refer to the manual regarding button assignments and purpose. Now, go to the picture settings in your menu.

4.Run the brightness settings and adjust until you achieve the right level of brightness that you need or find suitable to your liking. If the movie has dark scenes, pause and adjust it to the desired level but without clearing out the details of the image displayed. Play the movie and then find an all white scene within the film. Adjust the white level and contrast it with your previous adjustments made. The colours must blend naturally, and the skin tone colours must appear like how a normal skin colour will register on your monitor.

5.Then, look for the contrast setting within the TV’S menu. Play the movie as you calibrate the contrast of colours settings. Pause it if you feel the need to cue and adjust the level from left to right. To achieve the perfect contrast, the details of the lighter object must balance with the dark details of the image in the movie.

6.Fix the colour level when the scene becomes too colourful and adjust to what pleases your eye and will not cause eyestrain in the long run. The coloured settings must be vivid and also appear natural.

7.Manage the tint or often called the “hue” level and chose and drag the level bar until you achieve the right colour combination. Focus on the colour of the skin when tweaking this setting.

8.Repeat each step if your LCD TV utilises a variety of viewing modes. Most of the latest TV has a programmed setting for each mode. If you are not satisfied with the programme setting, you have all the freedom to configure it according to your preference. Follow all the steps and guide to get the most out of your TV.
