make the adjustments while playing a blu-ray technicolor film like John Wayne’s “The Searchers”. You can see the threads on the shirts. The colors are brilliant. Too many shows today have CGI and muddy colors.
I have a LG 5700 42” tv with 3 wifi and 3 hdmi connections. I did what other posters suggested and turned off all the “help”. I turned off “TruMotion” and “Mode Setting” is Home Use. “Dynamic Contrast” is Off. The tv shows do not look cartoonish and flat anymore. Other brands will have different names for their settings.
Different shows and resolutions will always be different looking from each other. I notice that older tv shows from the 1960’s tend to be more colorful.
I notice that most movies today are dark and grainy on purpose. I guess it makes sets cheaper to build.
Can't wait for 4k to become popular because they will have to get much darker, maybe even black.
