Your TV likely has several built-in presets geared to different uses, like movie-watching or sports channels.

You can find these in your TV’s picture settings menu.

You can also test out settings for different scenarios.

If none of the presets are to your liking, take more control of your picture settings.

Settings you can adjust include contrast, hue, brightness, sharpness, and color temperature. .
