Owning several tv's over the last past years i always had great help from this channel. The pdf picture settings are a bargain and without calibration tools an easy way to make things much better.
I tried it out. To me "dynamic" is the best mode. When I go to filmmaker or movie I end up adjusting settings that ends up just replicating dynamic. Looks way better for games too, I only use game mode when I need better input lag but game modes picture is worse
I unequivocally concur! After all, I have been attracted to TVs with the most vividly vibrant colors, sharp contrast, and brightness throughout my adult life! Why should I settle for an 'aesthetically correct' picture when my peepers and 🧠 disagree?!
@@kengreene5196 A good Film Mode offers that too, without looking garish like Vivid Mode. The colors are so garish in vivid that you actually lose a lot of the detail and nuances of the image. The textures become lost, it can almost look like low resolution.
I think you did a really good job explaining and showing the options available for this tv. The ONLY thing I wish you explained was to inform people that with gaming mode on you WILL sacrifice some graphics for a quicker response time. This would make a difference for those who are playing a solo or campaign based game mode vs online multi-player mode where you'd rather the picture update quickly as apposed to have a better experience graphics wise when you don't need to rely on the picture updating and you see the kill replay when you scream at the TV saying "I shot that guy" and the replay shows you going down before you even raise your weapon. Now this is also effected by your internet speed. The SECOND thing I wish you did w your video is to show the difference in overall performance/quality with the different settings while gaming or watching a heavily CG dependant movie. Now I understand that the viewer will only be able to tell this based on the capabilities of the screen they are viewing this on...but you do speak quite well as to what is going on ao maybe you could verbally tell the viewer more about what occurs during these different settings based on gaming, high demand movies, and every day usage. Thank you to whoever spent the time reading this but the ones who did probably care about those things and have or would write what I did as well. ANY INPUT OR OPINIONS I WOUKD LOVE TO HEAR BASED ON WHAT I SAID SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESPOND. THANK YOU!!!
Hey, thanks for the message and for your inputs. I'll definitely think about this for some of my future videos, just to explain what exactly is sacrificed by game mode and how does that affect picture and the overall experience.
Thanks! Setting up my new Samsung QN90A. I knew I had Brightness Optimization turned off. But I didn't realize when I changed picture modes it turned it back on. I was wondering why the brightness kept fading. Now I know. Thanks!
Yes they will work on any panel, you will just get a bit different end result because of the panel tech. Your model should have Local dimming and Blur reduction controls and I recomend that you use them.
Hello i just bought a 2022 model Q60B im trying to change the aspect ratio to full because when i watch movies some dont fill the screen. But in settings the aspect ratio is always set in grey so wont let me change.
Hello Darko! I just ordered a q70a. I dont do games..i just watch movies ..netflix..prime movies...should i change out of the box setti gs? If so..which ones? 😊
Hi Arnel - you should use picture modes mentioned in the video - Movie/Filmmaker mode with small tweaks to Brightness/Gamma as you prefer in your environment.
Very helpful video. I just have a question. How is it possible to make a background image like everytime when I turn on the tv, the amazing TV Plus program starts and I hate it. I just want that there is a picture like you. How is it possible ?
For sure that 82-inches is quite big surface to be covered with limited source resolution coming from the DVD. For that it is normal for image to look soft. For BD discs the situation will be much better - have you adjusted picture according to this video? Have you increased Sharpness control?
Why does "Color Tone" default to standard for game mode? I do like "Warm 2" as the best color tone, but I also like going with the manufacturer's presets. Just wondering why they made standard the preset for SDR gaming?
Same reason why default picture mode after initial installation is in one of Cool presets. Panels are produced for correlated color temperature of 9000 K so probably that’s the reason why they show it by default.
Both are the most accurate by the default - the difference is that Filmmaker mode has lower default brightness (around 100 - 120 nits) so it is more suitable for dark room watching if you do not touch any setting. But just like Movie mode, you can tweak brightness to the level you find OK for your environment.
hi great video, i have a samsung Q80A and i have a very dark room, how the best brightness level for hdr movie and gaming?because the standard hdr brigtness hurt my eyes!
Hey, just reduce Brightness to some value (half the default value for example) and see if that will reduce the eye strain. You could also consider bias lightning (LED strip behind the screen). The one I recommend: www.biaslighting.com/
Hi Darko, when watching HDR movies on this tv, the tv auto adjust the brightness by auto dimming it or brightening it. But my brightness optimization is off. This auto change is much distraction likely due to micro dimming functionality. Do you know a way to turn it off or set it to fixed settings?
Hello Darko, could you give me the exact settings for the Samsung Qled QE75Q74BATXXN 75 please? I can't find a post about this model. Thank you very much for your response.
Thank you for these settings. Just bought the 55Q60A and loving it. Just have one question, when there is alot of white it the picture on tv, it becomes really really bright. Any tips on how to fix this?
Hi - In this case I would rather get Q70A - mainly because on such big screen sizes a panel with 120 Hz will show more details and will be overall more pleasant to watch. Q70A also has a panel with higher native contrast so movies will look better.
Hi Darko :) I got a new 55" tv (Samsung Qled 70A) and when I see a football game(basically it happens when the image moves too fast) I have a blurry image (the players, the grass are blurry) . What can I do in this case? Thank you
Hey Tamar! Your TV has a 120 Hz screen that you need to activate in Motion menu - set it to Custom and push Blur reduction to max. value (10). Let me know how it works.
Great video and advice! If I wanted to calibrate this monitor using hardware, what calibration device would you recommend? Would you need to access the tv's specialized technician/service mode to calibrate in this way, or would the necessary controls be available using the same menus that you showed us in this video?
Hey Alexander - my recommendation goes to equipment available in Portrait Displays store - I'm using their products for over a decade and I'm very happy with it. They now offer their Calman calibration software with reduced price specifically for a few brands (Samsung supported), so if you're planning to calibrate just your own TV, this might be an interesting option. You can see the details here (and recommended meters): store.portrait.com/consumer-software.html
Thanks for the tips. This saved me. Spending a few weeks at an AirBnb with a 4k TV and the movies were awful (soap opera affect). Finally I can watch movies again.
Quick question : i just bought a QE55Q65 (coming from LG tv) and i find CRAZY the amount of remote control steps to switch between HDMI 1, 2 and 3. I dont want to use my voice or use the smartphone. The remote has no input button. Is there a FASTER way to do this? So far the tv has a better picture compared to my older LG TV but the menus are very slow and this HDMI switch is a big NO NO for me. ANy help?
Hey, for motion check I use FPD Benchmark Blu-ray disc and for calibration CalMAN software which is not free. Don't know what is the current status of free calibration software called HCFR - www.avsforum.com/threads/hcfr-open-source-projector-and-display-calibration-software.1393853/
I have a q65a coming soon, I have a ps5 but it's in a different room. I notice you advise "home" mode rather than the "retail" mode which impresume would have uhd content. So what type of source image is best to work with when tweaking settings? I will likely have uhd from my cable provider or netflix. Some of this video uses night city images which is often seen in retail demos.
Hey, for tweaking picture I suggest images with skin tones, where light is coming to a face from one side so you can check how details and colors in shadow looks like. You can use some great demos on UA-cam - I recommend Jacob and Katie Schwartz channel - ua-cam.com/video/NC0WPQd_bds/v-deo.html and their Morrocco 8K video. You can also use test patters, like free AVS HD 709 test disc. Also on Netflix there is a ton of great content where you can pause a scene and do your adjustments.
Thank you sir! My Q70A is blurry, it’s not sharp so frustrating! Ideas? But in gaming it’s amazing and the images they give you in the self diagnosing tests look crisp so I’m really confused. Any help would be appreciated, did I just get a bad tv?
Hey, if games look great and other content is blurry, perhaps the source for that content is not great. Which source of content are you using? Does the image look blurry if you play video such as this one: ua-cam.com/video/hVvEISFw9w0/v-deo.html
@@TVguyDarko hi! I clicked the link on UA-cam on my tv and it looks great haha. But is that because it’s super HD? Now I’m even more confused because Netflix doesn’t look good nor does the cable.
@@TVguyDarko I wonder if I can share screenshots or something? I’m so confused coz the link you sent looks crisp! But Netflix still doesn’t nor does tv :(
If you’ll be siting in front of the screen then Q70A is better due to higher contrast. Q80A has screen similar to IPS so even with local dimming it cannot give that good contrast.
I own a Samsung AU9000 Crystal UHD 4K HDR TV with my Windows pc connected via HDMI 2.0 and no matter what I try I cannot access any of the game picture smoothing menus including picture clarity settings, judder reduction and the game motion engine. I have tried everything for about a week and I might send it back as these are the reasons I bought this tv. Gutted.
Could be because TV detects that PC is connected and only allows some options, but not gaming one. Yes, that's one of many limitations of Samsung TVs and I'm not sure what you could do about it - have you changed the name of the input to Game console or something else?
Does this samsung tv have wide fit and screen fit in the picture display settings like the older models? Like older models have picture size 16.9, 4.3, wide fit, screen fit and zoom? Does this tv have the same thing as the older models? Like older models had screen adjustment setting in the picture settings.
Hi Darko, thank you for the video. I have a question in general about Samsung TV colors. I have been looking at the Samsung QN90A TV. In general, I lean toward Sony TVs because for me, their colors seem more natural. Samsung TVs have always seemed over saturated colors to me, and I don't like that look. But I am interested in Samsung QLED. If I use your color recommendations, can I buy a Samsung QLED and get it to look "natural" like a Sony? Hope that makes sense. Thank you. :) Forgot to mention, I will not be using the TV for gaming. I will watch some streaming services, possibly some cable box, some OTA channels, movies and TV shows. Some old TV shows, also, which will need upscaling. I am very sensitive to motion of any kind. Thank you.
Hi! Samsung is definitely shooting at its on leg with those demo materials and oversaturated approach to colors - I fully agree that Sony TVs look better. But for Home usage and in accurate picture modes (Movie, Filmmaker mode with Color gamut set to Auto), you will get a natural looking colors close to the standards.
@@TVguyDarko Thank you Darko. This TV has been one of the TVs at the top of my list along with Sony and LG models. I keep hearing about audio issues with this Samsung: audio and video not syncing, audio cutting out. I hope there are simple solutions to these issues because I keep seeing them brought up. Some people have said a software update has fixed the problem and others say it hasn’t fixed anything. It is such a nice TV; wish I knew if the audio issue is fixed.
Natural is my favorite for color but it doesn’t allow me to disable the motion settings, which I can’t stand the soap opera effect. I have a Q70A. Do you know of any way I can disable those while in natural mode?
I’m not able to change the gamma settings on my tv. It says this function is not available. There are some other settings as well that I can not control. How can I activate them?
Heya Darko, can the calibration settings of 2021 Samsung Q60a (the pdf-files which you sell on your website) be used on a QN90a? I recently bought a QN92a model from a sale and would like to calibrate it.
Hey, for sure you can apply basic tips on your model. You will have additional options on your unit that are very useful such as Local dimming and Blur reduction in Auto Motion Plus menu.
Tatejamo; I have the diminutive 32" U.S. version of the Q60a. I am clueless about the tweak options on the QN90a or your QN92. Those two are former flagship state-of-the-art, with myriad options an inveterate tweaker like myself genuinely would go over-the-moon mad over; my Q60a merely has the rump rudimentary choices your Q92a has, after all, even on a sale you likely invested at least 1k or more in your local lettuce! While I paid a bit south of $500 for my Q60a
Does this samsung tv have wide fit and screen fit in the picture display settings like the older models? Like older models have picture size 16.9, 4.3, wide fit, screen fit and zoom? Does this tv have the same thing as the older models? Like older models had screen adjustment setting in the picture settings. can you put the screen in screen fit or wide fit like in older modles?
Hi Darko - your videos are so helpful - I recommend them to everyone. What settings should I use for sports on a Q70a? I love the filmmaker mode for movies - but sports seems to want a different setting. And is there a setting you prefer as far as motion etc, for watching sports?
Hi Joan - thanks so much for watching and for spreading the word about my video! Related to sport content, since it is created according to the same standards as movie content, Filmmaker and Movie mode are recommended. The only thing you should adjust is Brightness and Gamma to make the picture brighter and more engaging. White balance should remain at Warm2. Related to motion, if your TV has Blur reduction option in the motion menu, definitely increase it to see more details in panning shots or when players move on the screen.
Hi i have never had a tv professionally calibrated before i have allways gone by eye. Am i right in thinking that the white balance and color space settings are the most important things that get adjusted when pro calibrating ?
I just buy Qled60A 55inch and I have problem in the brightness my older tv is brighter then the qled and I can’t change st.2084 gamma any or the problem from the store ? Sorry for bad English ☺️
Hey, if gamma is ST>2084 that means that you are watching HDR content. Below that option you can tweak gamma and use Shadow control function to make it brighter.
Hi Darko!!! I just got a new QLED SAMSUNG 60inch tv! Im in love with the tv but I’m noticing that the HDR/contrast/brightness (could be on of these three) changes automatically depending on what the image is! It’s super distracting and I can’t seem to figure how to turn it off! Some people told me to turn off “intelligent mode” but my tv doesn’t have this! Or Atleast I can’t find it! If you could help I’d really appreciate it man! Thanks so much!!!!
Hey Mickey! Disable all Eco options and Ambient light sensor which I show in this video. In dark scenes there still will be variations - this is because of global (frame) dimming that cannot be disabled in user menus.
@@TVguyDarko I play in my basement and there's no windows. So I'm not worried about a glare. And I play 80% of time at night time. I play on my pc with a controllor on tv and my ps5. And I play mostly call of duty, assians creed, halo, dead by daylight, grand theft auto.. so mostly FPS and open world games. I was also considering the LG nano90 tv for 1,099$. Then there's the Samsung Qled70A for 1,099$ and the lg c1 for 1,800$. I currently using a Samsung Lcd TV from 7 yrs ago or so
Hi Darko , ur videos are very informative, i have recently bought frame 65 inch , can u pls tell me what is the best setting for watching Sports and movies in the best Picture setting, thanks in advance for ur response , eagerly waitin for ur video Nd response
Hey Optimus - nice TV you are getting - which screen size have you selected? Tips for picture adjustments are the same as in this video. As your TV has 120 Hz screen, you will have Blur reduction option in the Motion menu - just increase it to benefit from improved resolution.
Thanks for your video, I have the Samsung au 9000 and thing it is a very good TV but my only problem is the green colour of foliage in some areas it seems to be very bright and not a pleasant shade of green, is there a way of darkening the green colour on its own, I am not sure how to use the 2 point white balance. Thanks again.
Ideally you need calibration equipment do to this properly. But what you can do is go to Color gamut, set it to custom and tweak Green values a bit until picture looks more balanced.
Hi there, just purchased a Q900A tv. What would you suggest for optimal settings? Also, the game won't let me change from ST 2084 to other gamma settings, do you know why that would be? (I'm in filmmaker mode) thank you!
Hi Vincent - same tips as in this video, except you will have Blur reduction in the Auto motion plus menu and I recommend that you increase this control to max. for the sharpest picture in motion.
How do i rearrange the apps on the home button menu. When i press down it scrolls down to another page instead of letting me move the apps left or right
Samsung makes good soundbars and for each QLED model they have a matching soundbar model. Pick the one that is within your budget, but definitely check a more expensive models as well since they offer more powerful sound.
Hi Antonio - in general yes, you can adjust it in the same way. Still, you will have additional features such as Local dimming and Blur reduction in the Auto Motion Plus menu to improve sharpness in motion.
I have a Samsung q80a, and all my 4K films I play through my ps5 look grainy, and Iv tried everything I can think of in settings and can’t solve the problem. Does anyone have any tips to get a perfectly clear picture. Thanks
Hi Darko thanks for the video, it truely helps, we got a new tv for our Christmas. I am having trouble setting the picture settings. The t.v. uus a samsung smart tv. We have directv . I can't seem to get calibrated on all the colors and other settings. Then, when I change channels, it's all differant!!! Please help me, I am frustrated every day. Model # QN60QEDAAF . Please help Thanks Karen
Hi Zook! Yes, same tips apply, except that you will have additional controls like Local dimming and Blur reduction in the Auto Motion Plus menu. You can also try different Sharpness values to see how 8K upscaling will work for content with lower resolution (like Blu-ray or HD streaming).
Hi, thanks for the report. One question, I have other older Samsung televisions that have the Backlight option, in addition to brightness, contrast, etc. Now, this serves to lower the intensity of the white color (which in my case I need it for my eyesight). In these new televisions such an option does not appear, so how can the intensity of the white be lowered? or just can't? Thanks.-
Hi - on the new Samsung TVs this control is called Brightness. Contrast is White level and Black level (previously named Brightness) is now Shadow Detail.
what color space does samsung use on native color space, DCI or BT.2020? i got sony this year and i always hated rec.709 with games or movies always looked washed out to me, but i’m gonna Caleborate tv but not sure if native is dci or bt.2020 as sony has both i wanna set it to which one will look closer to samungs colors
@@TVguyDarko i know that’s what i’ve used last 17 years and i love it much more colorful, but my problem is, is i went with sony x95j this year as samsung QC was horrendous but sony doesn’t have auto and native, they have auto/BT.709, then DCI, then Adobe RGB, then BT.2020, someone once told me samsungs native is just bt2020 with SDR content but then others said it was DCI, we have to take this into consideration, the sony doeisnt have wide color gamut and covers less area of each space then the qn90a does, i’m using those 2 as there probably best 2 of 2021, so the sony won’t look as poppy because of that but i can get it close enough, when set to DCI it seems allot of colors are almost same as smaungs native but then greens have more yellow warm to it, when set to RGB looks completely different, when set to bt2020 blue skys seems to match the samsungs but then dirty and skin tunes look more pink, so i’m confused, it’s sad you just can’t look online and just have it say samsungs native is dci or bt2020 i’ve spent months and there’s literally just NO answer, maybe i should get in contact with a samsung engineer they could probably tell me
@@TVguyDarko i’m sooo confused dude, now i’m looking at a samsung page online and people actually got pics showing each auto and native color space, one replay says auto is DCI and native looks better yet doesn’t say what native is, another says both are DCI just native is more saturated LOLOLOL i’m about to go back to samsung and suffer the horrendous problems🤣🤣
@@TVguyDarko Gaming, Movies. Not necesseraly in bright environment, but some games (RDR 2) are WAY too dark to play in the day with the AU8000 (i just bought the AU8000, but i'm tempted to return it and get the Q60A or The Frame 2021 - both are around 15% the price here in Brazil at the moment. The main thing to me is that the q60a have seem to have more accurate colors, they are brighter and have Game Motion Plus to make 30fps games "look" 60fps - which in the AU8000 i can't use in Game Mode, the input lag is too high - but i love the affect. Not to mention the Game Bar. But i'm also afraid that the prices will increase, since the process of returning and getting a refund here takes various days. But i don't know. Do you think its worth the hustle?
@@TVguyDarko But i know i shouldn't play HDR games on a bright room - so bright environment is not the focus. However imagine that a the higher nit count and wide color gammet would make HDR look better, if only slightly, right?
How do I enable brightness optization when the option is grayed out and I can't set the minimum brightness (which defaults to 0). Would trying to change this while being hooked up to a xbox one x compilcate things?
Hey, yes that could be the case - try on different inputs and see if the option is available. Could also be that this option is disabled in Game mode to reduce input lag.
Darko - We're getting dark, smeary video for dimly lit and black scenes from the DVD player(s). We tried several DVD players. All are the same. Please suggest how to correct this problem. Thank you....
Hello Darko, I find this setting gives a tinge of green to the whites when i watch Black and white films. I know they should look much better than this. I realise the standard setting gives the whites a blue tinge but to me thats preferble to green. Have you got any recommendations. Thanks
Hello Justin - for sure this can happen and if it does, go to 2 point white balance and increase Red and Blue gain until they decrease the amount of green. You can also slightly tweak offset control - best to do this when you have a black and white scene with a wide range of brightness - from shadows to highlights. You can pause a scene and then do the adjustments.
Congrats on owning an QLED TV! For starters you can follow tips from this video in terms of picture settings. Then perhaps this video will reveal something useful for other options: ua-cam.com/video/vhmDSctv-Kw/v-deo.html
@@TVguyDarko I think it’s due to Netflix output being at 60fps on newer shows. They’re making their shows look like soap operas and there’s nothing you can do about it. I did some reading and it looks like currently the only way to force 24p in a Netflix app is to get an nVidia Shield or use a PC.
That model doesn’t support VRR and HDR will be activated automatically. On PS5 you have an option to have HDR always active or only in supported games. I would suggest the latter.
Thank you for awesome video. On my 1 day old q80a model 65 inch. The picture is nice and bright and vivid when I turn TV on and then it goes dim... not sure how to stop that from happening so it stays bright. Also I tried factory rest but the keyboard did not show up so I could put in the pin #. I am wondering if I have a faulty TV that needs to be exchanged?
Hi Sandeep - thanks for watching my video! Is the TV in home or store mode? Have you turned off Brightness optimization that I show at 2:44 in this video? Finally, if the on screen keyboard isn't showing, perhaps you could connect a standard USB keyboard and enter the numbers?
Tv calibrators often seem to keep brightness (black level) at default level for HDR. But if you use the black clipping tests on youtube you often have to really pump brightness up to see correct level of ref black etc. Why is this? Maybe you can help darko?
I'm so frustrated with my Neo Q900 QLED. If I choose Movie or Filmmaker, and turn off the motion settings, there is a noticeable judder/blur/lag -- especially when people stand up or start moving too fast on screen. But when I disable the motion settings in Standard or Natural, I don't experience that effect.
Auto function for color space on Samsung TV is completely broken. Instead of automatically detecting the incoming signal and matching it's color space the TV is always using the color space which is picked in CUSTOM setting of this feature If you have chosen DCI-P3, AUTO will exactly output DCI-P3. If you have chosen BT.2020, AUTO will exactly output BT.2020. I'm facing this issue on my Q70A and it seems 2020 models are having the same issue like the Q80T and Q90T Now my question is, what "Auto" is more accurate for gaming (in general) and specially for PS5? Auto fom DCI-P3 color gamut or Auto from BT.2020?
Thank you for this info - I see the topic is available on Samsung community forum: us.community.samsung.com/t5/Qled-and-Frame/Q90T-Color-space-detection-completely-broken-and-GAME-MODE/td-p/1908173

I did similar settings on my Q80T from 2020 2 years ago after a research, and i can confirm , this man knows what's good picture settings are.
I tried it out. To me "dynamic" is the best mode. When I go to filmmaker or movie I end up adjusting settings that ends up just replicating dynamic. Looks way better for games too, I only use game mode when I need better input lag but game modes picture is worse

I just bought an 82 inch qled and dvd and blu rays look awful. Is my tv defective? Or is this normal?
For sure that 82-inches is quite big surface to be covered with limited source resolution coming from the DVD. For that it is normal for image to look soft. For BD discs the situation will be much better - have you adjusted picture according to this video? Have you increased Sharpness control?
@@TVguyDarko yes blu Ray look great thanks for the quick response.
Hi do you some calibration settings for the Samsung Q60C ? Thank you!
Hi - try tips from this video: ua-cam.com/video/PyDcrUAPPbs/v-deo.html
Why does "Color Tone" default to standard for game mode? I do like "Warm 2" as the best color tone, but I also like going with the manufacturer's presets. Just wondering why they made standard the preset for SDR gaming?
Same reason why default picture mode after initial installation is in one of Cool presets. Panels are produced for correlated color temperature of 9000 K so probably that’s the reason why they show it by default.
Please do one for sports what's the best settings for football and basketball?
What are the differences between movie and film makers modes, Which mode do you prefer between the two?
Both are the most accurate by the default - the difference is that Filmmaker mode has lower default brightness (around 100 - 120 nits) so it is more suitable for dark room watching if you do not touch any setting. But just like Movie mode, you can tweak brightness to the level you find OK for your environment.
hi great video, i have a samsung Q80A and i have a very dark room, how the best brightness level for hdr movie and gaming?because the standard hdr brigtness hurt my eyes!
Hey, just reduce Brightness to some value (half the default value for example) and see if that will reduce the eye strain. You could also consider bias lightning (LED strip behind the screen). The one I recommend: www.biaslighting.com/
tyvm sir .... this is the one video i needed
Thanks for watching!
What is the best tv , samsung q80a or samsung qn85a for playing ps5 games?
Hi Darko, when watching HDR movies on this tv, the tv auto adjust the brightness by auto dimming it or brightening it. But my brightness optimization is off. This auto change is much distraction likely due to micro dimming functionality. Do you know a way to turn it off or set it to fixed settings?
Look at power saving area in general I think
Well done sir 🤙🏼
Thanks!
Hello Darko, could you give me the exact settings for the Samsung Qled QE75Q74BATXXN 75 please? I can't find a post about this model. Thank you very much for your response.
Hello Cinemator - please check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/PyDcrUAPPbs/v-deo.html
Thank you for these settings.
Just bought the 55Q60A and loving it.
Just have one question, when there is alot of white it the picture on tv, it becomes really really bright. Any tips on how to fix this?
Hey, your’re welcome! You can activate light sensor to control max brightness or you can manually reduce it (to have full control).
Which would you choose the 75 inch Q70A or the 82 inch Q60T? Only difference I can find is the refresh rate. Is it work getting the bigger TV? THANKS
Hi - In this case I would rather get Q70A - mainly because on such big screen sizes a panel with 120 Hz will show more details and will be overall more pleasant to watch. Q70A also has a panel with higher native contrast so movies will look better.
@@TVguyDarko Thank You
Hi Darko :) I got a new 55" tv (Samsung Qled 70A) and when I see a football game(basically it happens when the image moves too fast) I have a blurry image (the players, the grass are blurry) . What can I do in this case? Thank you
Hey Tamar! Your TV has a 120 Hz screen that you need to activate in Motion menu - set it to Custom and push Blur reduction to max. value (10). Let me know how it works.
It worked!! Thank you!! 😃😃
Great video and advice! If I wanted to calibrate this monitor using hardware, what calibration device would you recommend? Would you need to access the tv's specialized technician/service mode to calibrate in this way, or would the necessary controls be available using the same menus that you showed us in this video?
Hey Alexander - my recommendation goes to equipment available in Portrait Displays store - I'm using their products for over a decade and I'm very happy with it. They now offer their Calman calibration software with reduced price specifically for a few brands (Samsung supported), so if you're planning to calibrate just your own TV, this might be an interesting option. You can see the details here (and recommended meters): store.portrait.com/consumer-software.html
Hi my samsung tv is taking before the program I heed help to turning off
I’ve not messed with any settings yet but for me sports looks best on intelligent mode still glares around fast movement
Thanks for the tips. This saved me. Spending a few weeks at an AirBnb with a 4k TV and the movies were awful (soap opera affect). Finally I can watch movies again.
Glad it helped!
Quick question : i just bought a QE55Q65 (coming from LG tv) and i find CRAZY the amount of remote control steps to switch between HDMI 1, 2 and 3. I dont want to use my voice or use the smartphone. The remote has no input button. Is there a FASTER way to do this? So far the tv has a better picture compared to my older LG TV but the menus are very slow and this HDMI switch is a big NO NO for me. ANy help?
What is the free program you use to calibrate and to the motion check on the samsung?
Thanks!
Hey, for motion check I use FPD Benchmark Blu-ray disc and for calibration CalMAN software which is not free. Don't know what is the current status of free calibration software called HCFR - www.avsforum.com/threads/hcfr-open-source-projector-and-display-calibration-software.1393853/
I have a q65a coming soon, I have a ps5 but it's in a different room. I notice you advise "home" mode rather than the "retail" mode which impresume would have uhd content. So what type of source image is best to work with when tweaking settings? I will likely have uhd from my cable provider or netflix. Some of this video uses night city images which is often seen in retail demos.
Hey, for tweaking picture I suggest images with skin tones, where light is coming to a face from one side so you can check how details and colors in shadow looks like. You can use some great demos on UA-cam - I recommend Jacob and Katie Schwartz channel - ua-cam.com/video/NC0WPQd_bds/v-deo.html and their Morrocco 8K video. You can also use test patters, like free AVS HD 709 test disc. Also on Netflix there is a ton of great content where you can pause a scene and do your adjustments.
Hi Thanks for those day settings , have you settings for dark ambience to avoid clouding?
Thank you sir! My Q70A is blurry, it’s not sharp so frustrating! Ideas? But in gaming it’s amazing and the images they give you in the self diagnosing tests look crisp so I’m really confused. Any help would be appreciated, did I just get a bad tv?
Hey, if games look great and other content is blurry, perhaps the source for that content is not great. Which source of content are you using? Does the image look blurry if you play video such as this one: ua-cam.com/video/hVvEISFw9w0/v-deo.html
@@TVguyDarko hi! I clicked the link on UA-cam on my tv and it looks great haha. But is that because it’s super HD? Now I’m even more confused because Netflix doesn’t look good nor does the cable.
@@TVguyDarko I wonder if I can share screenshots or something? I’m so confused coz the link you sent looks crisp! But Netflix still doesn’t nor does tv :(
Yes, please send me photos on darko AT hdtelevizija.com. Thanks!
I'm stuck between the Samsung Q70a and Q80a which one you recommend. I want it for gaming but tv shows and movies
If you’ll be siting in front of the screen then Q70A is better due to higher contrast. Q80A has screen similar to IPS so even with local dimming it cannot give that good contrast.
Hi. Thanks. It was helpful.
Glad to hear that!
I own a Samsung AU9000 Crystal UHD 4K HDR TV with my Windows pc connected via HDMI 2.0 and no matter what I try I cannot access any of the game picture smoothing menus including picture clarity settings, judder reduction and the game motion engine. I have tried everything for about a week and I might send it back as these are the reasons I bought this tv. Gutted.
Could be because TV detects that PC is connected and only allows some options, but not gaming one. Yes, that's one of many limitations of Samsung TVs and I'm not sure what you could do about it - have you changed the name of the input to Game console or something else?
Does this samsung tv have wide fit and screen fit in the picture display settings like the older models? Like older models have picture size 16.9, 4.3, wide fit, screen fit and zoom? Does this tv have the same thing as the older models? Like older models had screen adjustment setting in the picture settings.
Yes, such settings are available.
Does this work with Samsung Q68A 4K QLED? 😊👍🏼 Just bought one!
Hey Jakob - yes, same tips apply. Do you like the TV so far?
Hi Darko, thank you for the video. I have a question in general about Samsung TV colors. I have been looking at the Samsung QN90A TV. In general, I lean toward Sony TVs because for me, their colors seem more natural. Samsung TVs have always seemed over saturated colors to me, and I don't like that look. But I am interested in Samsung QLED. If I use your color recommendations, can I buy a Samsung QLED and get it to look "natural" like a Sony? Hope that makes sense. Thank you. :)
Forgot to mention, I will not be using the TV for gaming. I will watch some streaming services, possibly some cable box, some OTA channels, movies and TV shows. Some old TV shows, also, which will need upscaling. I am very sensitive to motion of any kind. Thank you.
Hi! Samsung is definitely shooting at its on leg with those demo materials and oversaturated approach to colors - I fully agree that Sony TVs look better. But for Home usage and in accurate picture modes (Movie, Filmmaker mode with Color gamut set to Auto), you will get a natural looking colors close to the standards.
@@TVguyDarko Thank you Darko. This TV has been one of the TVs at the top of my list along with Sony and LG models. I keep hearing about audio issues with this Samsung: audio and video not syncing, audio cutting out. I hope there are simple solutions to these issues because I keep seeing them brought up. Some people have said a software update has fixed the problem and others say it hasn’t fixed anything. It is such a nice TV; wish I knew if the audio issue is fixed.
Natural is my favorite for color but it doesn’t allow me to disable the motion settings, which I can’t stand the soap opera effect. I have a Q70A. Do you know of any way I can disable those while in natural mode?
Do you recommend samsung q70a over AU9000, sony x90j and x900h
Please make calibration for
Samsung AU9000 55. Do you using Calman calibration software and a colorimeter tool?
Hi - same tips apply. Yes, I use CalMAN.
I’m not able to change the gamma settings on my tv. It says this function is not available. There are some other settings as well that I can not control. How can I activate them?
Hey, try different input. For some types of signal some controls are not available.
@@TVguyDarko unfortunately I don’t have any other inputs. I use the youtube, netflix etc which are the tv apps of its own. 🤷♂️
Ho Darko. These tips (and calibrations in your store) are also good for the AU9070?
Hey Carlo - see this video ua-cam.com/video/oGHmUHEVMD4/v-deo.html
Which tv would you recommend between the Samsung Q70A and the Sony X90J both 55" ?
Heya Darko, can the calibration settings of 2021 Samsung Q60a (the pdf-files which you sell on your website) be used on a QN90a? I recently bought a QN92a model from a sale and would like to calibrate it.
Hey, for sure you can apply basic tips on your model. You will have additional options on your unit that are very useful such as Local dimming and Blur reduction in Auto Motion Plus menu.
Tatejamo; I have the diminutive 32" U.S. version of the Q60a. I am clueless about the tweak options on the QN90a or your QN92. Those two are former flagship state-of-the-art, with myriad options an inveterate tweaker like myself genuinely would go over-the-moon mad over; my Q60a merely has the rump rudimentary choices your Q92a has, after all, even on a sale you likely invested at least 1k or more in your local lettuce! While I paid a bit south of $500 for my Q60a
Does this samsung tv have wide fit and screen fit in the picture display settings like the older models? Like older models have picture size 16.9, 4.3, wide fit, screen fit and zoom? Does this tv have the same thing as the older models? Like older models had screen adjustment setting in the picture settings. can you put the screen in screen fit or wide fit like in older modles?
Hi Darko - your videos are so helpful - I recommend them to everyone. What settings should I use for sports on a Q70a? I love the filmmaker mode for movies - but sports seems to want a different setting. And is there a setting you prefer as far as motion etc, for watching sports?
Hi Joan - thanks so much for watching and for spreading the word about my video! Related to sport content, since it is created according to the same standards as movie content, Filmmaker and Movie mode are recommended. The only thing you should adjust is Brightness and Gamma to make the picture brighter and more engaging. White balance should remain at Warm2. Related to motion, if your TV has Blur reduction option in the motion menu, definitely increase it to see more details in panning shots or when players move on the screen.
Hi i have never had a tv professionally calibrated before i have allways gone by eye. Am i right in thinking that the white balance and color space settings are the most important things that get adjusted when pro calibrating ?
Hi Elon - yes, that’s right. Black and white levels can be adjusted with test patterns, but WB and colors only with equipment.
I just buy Qled60A 55inch and I have problem in the brightness my older tv is brighter then the qled and I can’t change st.2084 gamma any or the problem from the store ? Sorry for bad English ☺️
Hey, if gamma is ST>2084 that means that you are watching HDR content. Below that option you can tweak gamma and use Shadow control function to make it brighter.
@@TVguyDarko thank u 😊
Hi Darko!!! I just got a new QLED SAMSUNG 60inch tv! Im in love with the tv but I’m noticing that the HDR/contrast/brightness (could be on of these three) changes automatically depending on what the image is! It’s super distracting and I can’t seem to figure how to turn it off! Some people told me to turn off “intelligent mode” but my tv doesn’t have this! Or Atleast I can’t find it! If you could help I’d really appreciate it man! Thanks so much!!!!
Hey Mickey! Disable all Eco options and Ambient light sensor which I show in this video. In dark scenes there still will be variations - this is because of global (frame) dimming that cannot be disabled in user menus.
I'm a big gamer on ps5. Should I get Samsung q70a or LG c1? I don't know if c1 is worth 500$ more though
What kind of games do you mostly play? FPS? Strategy? Arcade? Various types? Do you play in environment with a lot/some/almost no light sources?

Hi I’m getting the Q80A 2021 QLED tv can u make a calibration video plz
Hey Optimus - nice TV you are getting - which screen size have you selected? Tips for picture adjustments are the same as in this video. As your TV has 120 Hz screen, you will have Blur reduction option in the Motion menu - just increase it to benefit from improved resolution.

Thanks for your video, I have the Samsung au 9000 and thing it is a very good TV but my only problem is the green colour of foliage in some areas it seems to be very bright and not a pleasant shade of green, is there a way of darkening the green colour on its own, I am not sure how to use the 2 point white balance. Thanks again.
Ideally you need calibration equipment do to this properly. But what you can do is go to Color gamut, set it to custom and tweak Green values a bit until picture looks more balanced.
@@TVguyDarko thanks for your advice, appreciate your help.
Hey Darko I have a new Q70a and I can’t seem to get the flesh tones right they are too red and too blotchy any suggestions.
Hey, pause a scene with flesh tones and adjust 2-point white balance. Try with reducing red and see if this would help.
Hi there, just purchased a Q900A tv. What would you suggest for optimal settings? Also, the game won't let me change from ST 2084 to other gamma settings, do you know why that would be? (I'm in filmmaker mode) thank you!
Hi Vincent - same tips as in this video, except you will have Blur reduction in the Auto motion plus menu and I recommend that you increase this control to max. for the sharpest picture in motion.
Related to ST.2084, this is normal if input signal is HDR, there is no other option.
@@TVguyDarko thank you! What do you normally suggest for the judder?
Hello! I got qled 65" ts 950 2020 8k. Does this calibration help?

Can you recommend what type soundbar works best. I have ordered 2021 QLED 60 in 32 inch.
Samsung makes good soundbars and for each QLED model they have a matching soundbar model. Pick the one that is within your budget, but definitely check a more expensive models as well since they offer more powerful sound.
Hi Darko, I have gotten a q80a, should I set it like your tv, that is q60a, to optimize the image?
Hi Antonio - in general yes, you can adjust it in the same way. Still, you will have additional features such as Local dimming and Blur reduction in the Auto Motion Plus menu to improve sharpness in motion.
How do you put full screen mode for disney plus or netflix?

Would these calibration settings work well with the Samsung 85 inch q900ts
Hi Zook! Yes, same tips apply, except that you will have additional controls like Local dimming and Blur reduction in the Auto Motion Plus menu. You can also try different Sharpness values to see how 8K upscaling will work for content with lower resolution (like Blu-ray or HD streaming).
Hi Darko any link to test pannels?
Hi, thanks for the report. One question, I have other older Samsung televisions that have the Backlight option, in addition to brightness, contrast, etc. Now, this serves to lower the intensity of the white color (which in my case I need it for my eyesight). In these new televisions such an option does not appear, so how can the intensity of the white be lowered? or just can't? Thanks.-
Hi - on the new Samsung TVs this control is called Brightness. Contrast is White level and Black level (previously named Brightness) is now Shadow Detail.
Can i use these settings for Q75A model?
Hi - yes you can.

what color space does samsung use on native color space, DCI or BT.2020? i got sony this year and i always hated rec.709 with games or movies always looked washed out to me, but i’m gonna Caleborate tv but not sure if native is dci or bt.2020 as sony has both i wanna set it to which one will look closer to samungs colors
Native should push the colors to the max saturation of the panel. That’s why this setting always produces inaccurate colors from my experience.
@@TVguyDarko i know that’s what i’ve used last 17 years and i love it much more colorful, but my problem is, is i went with sony x95j this year as samsung QC was horrendous but sony doesn’t have auto and native, they have auto/BT.709, then DCI, then Adobe RGB, then BT.2020, someone once told me samsungs native is just bt2020 with SDR content but then others said it was DCI, we have to take this into consideration, the sony doeisnt have wide color gamut and covers less area of each space then the qn90a does, i’m using those 2 as there probably best 2 of 2021, so the sony won’t look as poppy because of that but i can get it close enough, when set to DCI it seems allot of colors are almost same as smaungs native but then greens have more yellow warm to it, when set to RGB looks completely different, when set to bt2020 blue skys seems to match the samsungs but then dirty and skin tunes look more pink, so i’m confused, it’s sad you just can’t look online and just have it say samsungs native is dci or bt2020 i’ve spent months and there’s literally just NO answer, maybe i should get in contact with a samsung engineer they could probably tell me
@@TVguyDarko i’m sooo confused dude, now i’m looking at a samsung page online and people actually got pics showing each auto and native color space, one replay says auto is DCI and native looks better yet doesn’t say what native is, another says both are DCI just native is more saturated LOLOLOL i’m about to go back to samsung and suffer the horrendous problems🤣🤣
Darko, is this worth paying 15% extra over the AU8000 (its my case on Brazil)?
Hey Andrey - for which content will you mainly use the TV? Movies (which source?), gaming, bright or darker environment?
@@TVguyDarko Gaming, Movies. Not necesseraly in bright environment, but some games (RDR 2) are WAY too dark to play in the day with the AU8000 (i just bought the AU8000, but i'm tempted to return it and get the Q60A or The Frame 2021 - both are around 15% the price here in Brazil at the moment. The main thing to me is that the q60a have seem to have more accurate colors, they are brighter and have Game Motion Plus to make 30fps games "look" 60fps - which in the AU8000 i can't use in Game Mode, the input lag is too high - but i love the affect. Not to mention the Game Bar.
But i'm also afraid that the prices will increase, since the process of returning and getting a refund here takes various days.
But i don't know. Do you think its worth the hustle?
@@TVguyDarko But i know i shouldn't play HDR games on a bright room - so bright environment is not the focus. However imagine that a the higher nit count and wide color gammet would make HDR look better, if only slightly, right?
How do I enable brightness optization when the option is grayed out and I can't set the minimum brightness (which defaults to 0). Would trying to change this while being hooked up to a xbox one x compilcate things?
Hey, yes that could be the case - try on different inputs and see if the option is available. Could also be that this option is disabled in Game mode to reduce input lag.
Darko - We're getting dark, smeary video for dimly lit and black scenes from the DVD player(s). We tried several DVD players. All are the same. Please suggest how to correct this problem. Thank you....
Hi - darker scenes are a challenge for VA LCD screens such as those Samsung is using. Do you have Blur reduction control in Auto motion plus menu?
Hello Darko, I find this setting gives a tinge of green to the whites when i watch Black and white films. I know they should look much better than this. I realise the standard setting gives the whites a blue tinge but to me thats preferble to green. Have you got any recommendations. Thanks
Hello Justin - for sure this can happen and if it does, go to 2 point white balance and increase Red and Blue gain until they decrease the amount of green. You can also slightly tweak offset control - best to do this when you have a black and white scene with a wide range of brightness - from shadows to highlights. You can pause a scene and then do the adjustments.

Hey, that's really strange. Which model do you own and which picture preset do you use?
@@TVguyDarko I think it’s due to Netflix output being at 60fps on newer shows. They’re making their shows look like soap operas and there’s nothing you can do about it. I did some reading and it looks like currently the only way to force 24p in a Netflix app is to get an nVidia Shield or use a PC.

Also I tried factory rest but the keyboard did not show up so I could put in the pin #.
I am wondering if I have a faulty TV that needs to be exchanged?
Hi Sandeep - thanks for watching my video! Is the TV in home or store mode? Have you turned off Brightness optimization that I show at 2:44 in this video? Finally, if the on screen keyboard isn't showing, perhaps you could connect a standard USB keyboard and enter the numbers?
Hello dose hdr 4k really make a difference from regular 4k
Yes on a TV that has hardware that can handle it well (OLED TVs or FALD LCD TVs).
Tv calibrators often seem to keep brightness (black level) at default level for HDR. But if you use the black clipping tests on youtube you often have to really pump brightness up to see correct level of ref black etc. Why is this? Maybe you can help darko?
Hey Matt, great point! I need to check those patterns before I can comment.
I'm so frustrated with my Neo Q900 QLED. If I choose Movie or Filmmaker, and turn off the motion settings, there is a noticeable judder/blur/lag -- especially when people stand up or start moving too fast on screen. But when I disable the motion settings in Standard or Natural, I don't experience that effect.
Interesting - try in Movie/Filmmaker mode Custom motion settings and increase blur to 10 and judder to 1, 2 or 3.
I would use movie picture mode
Auto function for color space on Samsung TV is completely broken.
Instead of automatically detecting the incoming signal and matching it's color space the TV is always using the color space which is picked in CUSTOM setting of this feature
If you have chosen DCI-P3, AUTO will exactly output DCI-P3.
If you have chosen BT.2020, AUTO will exactly output BT.2020.
I'm facing this issue on my Q70A and it seems 2020 models are having the same issue like the Q80T and Q90T
Now my question is, what "Auto" is more accurate for gaming (in general) and specially for PS5? Auto fom DCI-P3 color gamut or Auto from BT.2020?
