What Picture Settings Do You Prefer On Your Television?
Considering the different discussions on Blu-rays, 4K, streaming, etc I'm curious if anyone here has a preference for their television picture setting?
As a kid, my family had an RCA Colortrak 2000. Looked like one of these......
The audio and picture knobs were behind a panel. I became obsessed with television picture settings one night as I had LTK playing in the old VCR. A family friend was over and remarked how washed out Bond and Pam looked during the boat scene. So he offered to fix it, lowered the panel and began tweaking the knobs. He adjusted the color, brightness, tint and sharpness level.
By the time Lupe arrived in the casino her dress looked as vivid a red as it had in the cinema. At least as much as it could on VHS, that is.
Today most sets have preset options:
STANDARD
MOVIES
SPORTS
VIVID
GAMES
PERSONAL
and so forth.
Televisions have come a long way since the 1980s .
Anyone opinionated on this topic?
