‘Tis the season for holiday decor, a festive fireplace, and your favorite holiday movies playing on your Samsung The Frame television. While the stockings may be hung by the chimney with care, it’s your Samsung Frame TV mounted over the mantel that has garnered the attention of friends and family as you gather around to watch true holiday classics like It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, Christmas Vacation, and, of course, Die Hard.
But have you taken a good long look at your picture while watching your favorite films? Are you getting the best and most accurate image representation from your Frame TV? Perhaps the winter wonderland you're watching could be a bit whiter and your bright colors somewhat brighter.
Let’s take a look at how to optimize the image on your Samsung The Frame TV just in time for family holiday movie night. Once you have your settings perfectly decked out for all your content, you’ll wonder why you never tinkered with these adjustments until now.
When it comes to watching films, presentation is everything. You don’t want to miss a thing and with the Samsung Frame TV, you don’t have to as long as you have adjusted your settings properly to maximize the potential of your television.
The Frame TV is a QLED TV which means that your image is being represented with quantum dots, tiny microscopic molecules that are activated through light, and that activation triggers those molecules to emit various colored lights that comprise the image. Samsung designed their Frame TV to be an ideal choice for viewing films, particularly in a dark room, because the image offers high contrast ratio and an expansive range of color representation. The wider the range of color gamut, the more variety of colors your television can reproduce. This makes for a more vivid and accurate image, no matter what you’ve chosen to display on your Frame TV screen.
So whether you’re watching movies or you have Art Mode engaged on your device, you know you’re seeing the most authentic image possible.
Your Samsung The Frame TV features a series of options to help you get the ideal image on your screen for a variety of content. To make changes to the image for watching movies, you first want to change the Picture Mode setting on your Frame TV.
To select your desired picture mode, you simply access your Settings Menu, select Picture, and then choose Picture Mode. From there, you have five options that best fit your viewing situation and preferred display adjustments:
This option is the default picture mode that your television displays images and is typically appropriate for all viewing environments. You can use this option in any room of your home, day or night, offering standard brightness levels and dependable picture quality for indoor viewing.
This option is ideal for achieving a brighter, more vivid picture with greater clarity. Selecting this picture increases your Frame TV’s brightness, contrast, and sharpness levels, making it suitable for use in rooms that get a lot of natural sunlight or have a bright interior decor. If you are watching the TV with your Christmas tree lights still illuminated to preserve a festive ambiance, you may want to go with Dynamic Mode.
This option is best-suited to those viewers who find themselves dealing with eye strain and fatigue when sitting in front of their televisions for an extended period of time. Natural Mode automatically adjusts the brightness levels of the picture for a more subtle, warmer image to reduce eye strain, making it easier on viewers who may be sensitive to rich colors and bright images. Switching your television to Natural Mode can deliver a more comfortable experience for you and your family.
This option and the next one, Filmmaker Mode, offer some of the best and most versatile features for watching television shows and movies on your Samsung The Frame TV. When you select Movie Mode, the picture brings you a theater-quality visual palette and is the perfect option when you have a dark living room with minimal light pollution because the image brightness is dimmer than Dynamic or Natural Modes.
This option is for the pure cinephiles. Those viewers who love the modern holiday favorites yet also add some titles from yesteryear like Christmas in Connecticut, The Shop Around the Corner, or Blast of Silence. Filmmaker Mode takes all the guesswork out of your picture quality as this option is designed to deliver the filmmaker’s original artistic intent when viewing the film. Created by the Ultra High Definition Alliance in conjunction with some of the industry’s best and brightest filmmakers, movie studios, and consumer electronics brands, Filmmaker Mode is all about preserving the artist’s vision to deliver the picture quality in the exact aspect ratio, frame rate, and color temperature for the ultimate cinematic experience. Backed by A-listers including Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, and Tom Cruise to name a few, Filmmaker Mode disables all of your television’s post-processing capabilities including motion smoothing and sharpness.
All of this is a matter of personal preference and if you want your image quality to have a certain type of look, you have all of the controls at your fingertips. Selecting the preferred Picture Mode is a good start, and for some consumers, that's all they need to achieve their optimal image. But if you are extremely particular about having it exactly your way, then you are going to want to tinker with the Expert Settings Menu.
Your options are Contrast, Brightness, Color, Tint, and Sharpness and while many consumers will likely set most of these settings at 0 with Contrast and Color at default values, making adjustments is easy and should be done as you see fit.
Films are shot at 24 frames per second. When your motion smoothing feature is engaged, it can have the effect of watching a soap opera or a live broadcast of a television drama instead of a feature film. The effect is off-putting for many but if this is how you prefer to watch your movies, that is your prerogative. However, turning this feature off will deliver a more cinematic experience.
Samsung The Frame televisions are the industry standard for frame TVs that provide the highest-quality picture and sound.
