After considering all the possible features and functions we want in our next program smart television Finally we get a specific model, take it home, set it up and run it.

Picture and sound quality will likely be very good and impressive, but perhaps not all that you might expect. What’s going on? Well, there is a very important step to follow: select the appropriate display mode For the use we will give to the TV.

Usually, by default our beloved screen is activated when you turn it on for the first time in a working mode. “standard” or “dynamic”Both are designed to be striking, with very bright colors (especially the dynamic one) that will delight us at first glance, but in the long run, they will tire us out when we watch TV for a few minutes or hours.

These modes typically operate all functions of the TV. maximum brightness, colors and contrastswith image processing, which can be both attractive and artificial.

Therefore, as soon as we have the opportunity, it is recommended to switch to a mode that more faithfully represents the image and sound to the original signal; mode “cinema”, “movie” or the most modern “filmmaker or filmmaker” and then we start the calibration process from there if we want.

“Cinema” mode and “Filmmaker Mode”

Basically what we’re going to see on TV, movies and serialsnews, documentaries, etc. recommended mode to enjoy the highest quality and visual impact, although we also put the programs, “cinema” or “movie”different name depending on the manufacturer but that means the same thing.

Available in versions for watching TV in the dark or with ambient light, this mode does what it does is try to adjust the image to an environment. relatively neutral mode significantly lowers the brightness, but increases the contrast. more cinematic image and shocking.

Also usually color temperature goes up to a warmer tone than standard mode and starts a significant part of the rendering systems that the TV brings; dynamic and adaptive contrastFrame interpolation systems as well as AI algorithms to better highlight the details of the image.

If all this extra finishing seems to give us an artificial touch to the image, we can then change it or partially turn it off, such as systems dealing with digital noise or this endpoint of the image. frame interpolation which might introduce the famous “soap opera effect”. But if what we want is an image that does not contain much processing, then it is better to activate the image directly. “Filmmaker Mode” or the creators mod.

It is a mod that includes the televisions of the last three years and basically tries to show itself. remove all extra processes from image that alters or corrects its original appearance, including frame interpolation or motion smoothing, zooming and aspect changes, unoriginal frame rates, artificial enhancements in sharpness, or misconfigured colors.

It originated as the initiative of a group of creators such as Paul Thomas Anderson, Ryan Coogler, Patty Jenkins, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, JJ Abrams, Ava DuVernay, Judd Apatow, Ang Lee, Reed Moreno or Duffer Brothers and LG, Panasonic, Samsung brands such as Dolby, Warner Bros. or Vizio.

The basic idea is to eliminate motion smoothing, as well as artificially interpolate frames to create smoother sequences, managing more complex parameters that are sometimes hard to access in TV menus. for example, if disables overprocessing of images when editing aspects such as brightness or contrast.

The screen aspect ratio is also automatically adjusted so that older 4:3 movies are not displayed at 16:9 and those shot in ultra-wide formats are not cropped. It also lowers the maximum brightness to appropriate levels to keep darker scenes bleak. turn off edge or sharpness detection and set the white balance and color density to neutral mode.

Additionally, this filmmaker mode continues to evolve, and on the occasion of CES 2022 this year they announced the preparation of a second version that aims to cover a number of hitherto forgotten uses: watching TV in broad daylight.

To do this, you will have access to the information offered by light sensors Some televisions have this feature so that you can change the parameters in different lighting conditions.
