What size TV should I get?

What is the best picture quality on TVs?

Most TVs nowadays offer at least a Full HD (FHD) picture quality or sometimes known as 1080p. If you are looking for a clear image and sharp resolution, 1080p is the minimum picture quality you should go for. But, if you want to enjoy the best viewing experience, 8K TVs offer the highest resolution, incredible color saturation and crisp details.

Thankfully, Samsung offers a range of TVs with varying screen technology and picture quality, so you can pick the right TV for your lifestyle.

The best picture settings for your Samsung TV

Many people pay for calibration services to set their TV settings or go online to find the optimal recommended settings based on their viewing needs. However, with Samsung TVs providing several preset quality modes, that's all consumers need to experience the best picture quality no matter the situation. Learn more about the concepts and purpose of each quality mode that a Samsung TV provides and how to get the most out of them below.

Dynamic Mode

Vivid even in bright environments

Dynamic Mode is a picture mode that allows users to enjoy content vividly and clearly during the day or in light-rich areas. It optimally runs all the hardware and software technologies that a TV has in order to present a clear and crisp image with spectacular colors, improved brightness and sharpness.

Standard Mode

Balanced—anytime, anywhere

Standard Mode is the default setting right out of the box and is a mode that anyone can enjoy in a typical indoor environment. Whether it's in the morning or at night, this mode has a stable and adequate brightness suitable for most and provides optimal image quality for your screen while using energy efficiently.

Natural Mode

Comfortable and easy

Natural Mode is a picture mode that detects changes in the brightness of a scene and then naturally re-expresses those changes within a range more comfortable to consumers. If you tend to be sensitive to colors and brightness, then Natural Mode is recommended because it outputs an amount of light that helps reduce your eye strain and fatigue.

Movie Mode

Perfect for movie buffs

Movie Mode reliably reflects the quality elements intended by content publishers. It's used in most professional reviews and will provide a cinema-like experience when watching movies (especially in a slightly dark environment).

Filmmaker Mode

Experience movies and TV shows as the creators intended

Filmmaker Mode lets you watch movies and TV shows the way its original filmmakers intended. On supported UHD TVs, this new picture mode preserves critical visual elements like aspect ratio, colors, and frame rates for a truly authentic cinematic experience.

How to improve your TV picture quality

Just like you can customize your smartphone screen, the settings of your TV screen can also be adjusted easily. Have you ever wondered why TV screens are so sharp and bright in stores but don't look as good when you’ve brought them back home? It could be that your settings are not quite right. You can adjust the picture settings on your Samsung TV by following the simple steps below:

1. On your TV, navigate to Settings
2. Select Picture
3. Choose Expert Settings
4. Adjust your screen settings such as brightness, sharpness, contrast and colors

You can also set up your Smart TV using Samsung SmartThings application.¹ Learn how to use Smart Calibration on your Samsung Smart TV.
