Not satisfied with the quality of picture you're getting from your LCD TV? There are a number of settings to help you get the optimal performance from your LCD TV for watching movies, sports or broadcast television. You can also set it for gaming. Follow these steps to find out improve the picture quality on your LCD TV.
Instructions
1. Consult the user's manual on access the adjustments on your TV. There will be sections on resolution, color, contrast and brightness, to name a few. Pay extra attention to the troubleshooting section for specific examples of problems that you may be experiencing.
2. Consider checking the resolution of the television. Each LCD TV comes preset to a "native" resolution that's specific to that make and model. Consult the owner's manual for the resolution setting recommended for different types of viewing.
3. Adjust the contrast and brightness. The lighting in the room will have a dramatic effect on the picture quality of your LCD TV. If you prefer to watch in a darker room, consider softening the brightness a bit to reduce eye stress and fatigue. If the TV is in a bright room, you may want to tweak the contrast to allow for better definition of the darker areas of an image.
4. Check out whether or not the LCD TV has preset settings for watching sports, movies or concerts. For example, preset sports settings typically jack up the color and brightness to enhance features on the field of play; but if you watch a lot more movies than sports, you'll find that these settings don't enhance movie-watching. A simple fix may involve adjusting the preset viewing setting.
5. Consider buying high quality cables for your TV called "Monster Cables." These can be purchased at your local electronics store. The cables that came with the TV or other electronics will not provide the full spectrum of light and color that the LCD TV can produce.
6. Go online to look for tech forums specific to the make and model for further information. Bring up a search engine and type the make and model of your LCD TV into the window along with the words "tech forum" and browse the results. You'll likely find a topic on these forums that addresses the specific problem that you're experiencing.
