This may help to set your Glass TV perfect picture...

[Anonymous]

For those of you that aren't sure on best picture quality and I know many of you are, there is a great short video on YouTube to play on your glass tv and check how good your display is....

This is the image on my 43" TV after some faffing of settings. 

It may or may not help!

@Anonymous Having looked at the video on Glass maybe the screen isn't as naff as I thought it was as the pictures were incredible.  Maybe not as good as they would have been on my LG OLED but pretty close.  I will have a play this evening to see if I can improve it at all.  I did think it would benefit from a little more brightness (maybe even the dreaded Vivid).

Are you able to share your settings. 

Even as a secondary TV it is driving me mad. Vivid gives the UHD a bit more pop but normal channels are far too bright. Especially the reds.

Be wary of these kind of YouTube demo videos - any of those labelled as Dolby Vision don't actually have Dolby Vision metadata - they are merely converted from a Dolby Vision source. 

They'll have HDR10 at best, but the crucial thing is they're designed to make any TV look good. They have high bit-rates, beautifully shot, perfectly lit subjects and are of a quality above what most mainstream TV is mastered at. This type of content can make a £100 Bush LCD TV from Argos look alarmingly good.

Here are my settings, they may differ slightly for you as personal preference, room lighting and all TVS have slight variations at manufacture, so all these points need to be considered too.

Anyway give it a go you may find a preference.

@SlenderRobert I imagine it is the same as looking at a new TV in the showroom.  They always have the most incredible pictures but you can never replicate them at home.

I'm sorry what you are saying is utter nonsense, if you playback that video on a 720p LCD Bush TV there is no way on earth it will look a high quality image.

Of course the video is shot to enhance that's the whole idea to set you tv to the bright colours and lighting. It doesn't matter if its HDR10 or 10+ or whatever you are just checking colours, ghosting, clarity!

I've worked in TV manufacturing for over 30 years we use this similar content to set TVs

I'm just suggesting some Glass owners may want to try it as many complain of picture quality.

Store sets have a retailers setting used to compensate store lighting etc. But the display can only generate imagery as good as the panel and chipset allow.

This is why walking around Currys for example some sets look washed out whilst others look outstanding.

This video looks so much better on my (cheap) TV than the dull, washed out Sky Sports and Eurosport UHD pictures.

I think you've just confirmed how rubbish your glass tv is 🤔

It's a guide for people nothing more or less! They can try it or move on.

It is not a GlassTV. It is a cheap LED Toshiba. UHD on BBC and Netflix looks great. On Sky Sports and Eurosport via Stream, not so great.

Thank you for sharing your settings.  I replicated them with the only change being I dropped the backlight to 80 instead of your 85.

The HDR demo looks great now even on the Sky glass panel.

Those are really good: I didn't expect 'dark' to be better than 'bright'.

It's something that was done when testing the tv's running for 48 hours constant in the test lab. It was mainly run for picture burn testing colour determination etc. 

It's a good base to start from when playing with settings.

As I said in my first post It's not for everyone because we all have personal preferences but if it just helps some owners to set up their display then job done.

Of course the factory had a test signal sent to all production lines for online set up but the tech labs and QC would run at home images too. It's incredibly interesting to watch the process.

I started in 1986 through to 2018 when I retired. So been from good old CRT, the dreaded plasma to OLED.

By the way just because you buy a cheap tv it doesn't mean you have a cheap panel. You'd be surprised what cheap brand TVs have Samsung glass panels.
