Before you begin
These are visual browser checks, not manufacturer certification, professional calibration or repair diagnosis.
A focused five-step check
- 01
Use the TV browser or mirror a computer with 1:1 scaling where possible.
- 02
Disable vivid, dynamic contrast and motion interpolation for a baseline.
- 03
Check solid fields from your real seating position.
- 04
Inspect gradients, shadow detail and near-white clipping.
- 05
Repeat motion checks with the modes you actually watch or play in.
GOOD TO KNOW
TV browsers vary and may not offer true fullscreen. The immersive fallback keeps controls reachable.
