  1. Picture mode: choose Movie, Cinema or Filmmaker Mode for films and series. Avoid Vivid or Dynamic.
  2. Motion smoothing: turn off (it's what makes films look like soap operas). Sport may benefit from a low setting.
  3. Extra processing: switch off "dynamic contrast", "noise reduction" and "edge enhancement" for good sources.
  4. Brightness for the room: raise backlight in a bright room, lower it at night.
  5. Game mode: use it for consoles to cut input lag.
