Tips to adjust your TV settings for your optimal dragon-battling viewing:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Tips to adjust your TV settings for your optimal dragon-battling viewing:<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1. Go to settings<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. <\/strong>Try filmmaker *or* intelligent mode on supported TVs.<\/strong>
\nFilmmaker Mode<\/a> on supported TVs automatically adjusts your settings to help you watch movies and TV shows the way the filmmakers intended.
\n
\nTip: On some TVs, \u201cFilmmaker Mode\u201d turns off advanced intelligent features that actually can enhance your viewing experience. We found that \u201cIntelligent Mode\u201d on the Samsung OLED S95D delivered our favorite \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d experience, powered by its Samsung AI processor. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Turn brightness down and contrast up.<\/a> <\/strong>
\nA good rule of thumb is to keep brightness at 50%, ensuring it is not too bright where it washes out darker areas but not too dull causing darker scenes to be too dark to see. Increasing contrast will make shadows deeper and highlights brighter, enhancing the overall depth of the image.
\n
\nAdjusting the backlight will allow you to control how much light the screen produces. You may want to turn this up if your room is particularly bright and turn it down if your room is dark. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Turn Off the Lights. <\/strong>
\nDim or turn off any lighting and close curtains or blinds. This helps to reduce glare on the TV screen and enhances the contrast of dark scenes.
\n
\nUse bias lighting: Install subtle, dim lighting behind your TV or around the perimeter of the room. This can help reduce eye strain and improve contrast perception by providing a soft backlighting effect without illuminating the screen. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Optimize Your Sound <\/strong>
\nTry movie\/cinema mode in your audio settings, which will help add more bass and treble for bolder sound.
\n
\nYou can also check out your expert sound settings<\/a> to manually fine tune to your liking - you might want to reduce bass and increase treble if you're having trouble hearing dialogue, or turn up the bass for movie explosions. Also, closed captions<\/a> can be useful.
\n
\nConsider a soundbar <\/a>\u2013 like the Samsung Q series<\/a>, which delivers audio from virtually every angle and uses adaptive sound to help you hear voices better, even at low volume. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n
