Burosch's various Full HD and Ultra HD tests are used as benchmarks and are used to evaluate the picture quality of a TV or monitor screen.
With the help of such tests, you can optimize and adjust the image. You only need to achieve the correct display of pictures from the test on the screen and you can say that your TV is set up.
Such adjustment occurs regardless of the screen size and is estimated by eye, each user makes adjustments for himself.
Image adjustment must be carried out at home, in the place where the TV will work. Because in a store or at a factory for a demonstration, they could choose a different mode of operation of the TV receiver. And with the help of settings, you can change the quality of the picture on the screen within a fairly large range.
The test images are selected in such a way that by setting them correctly, you can prepare the TV for displaying any scenes in terms of brightness, contrast, color, clarity.
All pictures are static to allow time for the eyes to detect inaccuracies in the display on the screen.
Test images are divided into five groups:
- Basic samples for initial visual adjustment
- Test images for metrological calibration with light sensor
- Professional static reference images for image optimization
- Dynamic Test Rolls
- Professionally made real pictures
This lists the general characteristics of tests that may be encountered. In our tests, there are only some pictures, but they are quite enough to set up the TV.
Each test image is used to set a separate parameter.
Our test has:
- Five main images for the first basic picture quality setting on the screen:
- Format, size
- Brightness
- Contrast
- Focus (clarity)
- Test images with a large number of test areas
- Images for professional customization
- Real images for further customization and verification
Test images for each setting
Such pictures are used for only one setting, unlike images with several test areas. Therefore, after making one setting, you need to change the picture to another and adjust another parameter. The setting procedure is described below.
Several test areas
Images with a large number of test zones (five zones are used here) are intended for TV setup by inexperienced users or for quick setup. On each such picture, you can configure five basic parameters by controlling them on the screen at once.
The initial setup of the TV must be carried out either with the help of five primary test pictures or with one of the ones presented here.
After all the settings, you can include real photos in the desired resolution from the set. In these pictures you check the naturalness of all settings.
Other test pictures
For example, one-color images are needed to check the health of the pixels on the screen. Different grid images can also be used to detect dead pixels that stop working at a certain position of neighboring pixels.
Color bars are needed to check the color. Different shades of gray are used to check white balance (no color cast) and to check brightness and contrast.
According to the site www.burosch.de
By knowing the right tricks, you can squeeze better picture quality out of your TV, improve movie playback, and optimize interaction with external devices. Read how to do it.
The user who has tasted a well-equipped and functional receiver Smart TV, has the right to expect that it will meet its high requirements, providing amazingly high image quality.
And although all current TVs of this type provide Full HD resolution and simulation surround sound technology, some models can cause irritation with their picture quality immediately after switching on. The reason is ill-chosen factory settings which you can fix very easily.
Correct Smart TV settings
First you must choose the best space for TV. It is necessary to pay attention to the distance to the receiver from the audience. When the distance from the sofa is too short, fragments of the image will appear out of focus, and in addition, a “torn edge” becomes noticeable despite optimal image quality, which significantly reduces viewing pleasure.
There is a general rule that the larger the screen size, and the lower the content playback resolution, the further you should sit from the TV.
In the case of a 26-inch TV, it is recommended to keep a distance of one to two meters. If you have a 42" receiver, the optimal distance is 1.5 to 3 meters. However, in the case of a 55-inch TV, the minimum spacing reaches three to four meters.
When playing content in Full HD (1080p mode), the distance can be slightly reduced. Programs broadcast in standard definition PAL or 576p should be watched within the limit of the indicated intervals.
In addition, the TV should not be located against the background of the window or in front of them. If you cannot avoid this, you can install blinds on the windows.
Optimal distance from the receiver– the larger the diagonal of the screen, and the lower the resolution of the reproduced content, the greater should be the distance between the viewer and the TV.
Optimal TV height
Regardless of where you plan to place your TV (you can put it on a shelf or on a chest of drawers, or hang it on the wall with a special holder), viewing comfort is affected not only by the distance from the viewer, but also by the height of the screen.
In general, it is assumed that the height of the TV is optimal, when approximately two-thirds of the screen surface is below the observer's eye line.
Mounting the TV on the wall
Almost every TV Smart TV prepared at the factory to hang on the wall. There are standard screw holes on the back of the case. Although TV manufacturers offer appropriate handles, in most cases they are expensive and you can easily use cheap models from another company.
When choosing a bracket, pay attention to the size, which should be indicated in the TV's instruction manual or on the manufacturer's website. The holder must be the right size, and also be stable enough to support the weight of the TV.
If you mount the TV on the wall, try several heights before drilling the holes, for example, by installing the receiver on an impromptu shelf or lifting it up with the help of friends.
Preventing Your TV from Overheating
Remember that your TV should not stand in a blind place, because this will prevent heat from being removed from the receiver during operation. Curtains, plants, and furniture can make ventilation difficult.
If the TV is on a shelf, the top and side vents should have a large enough space to allow good air circulation.
Appropriate cable for connecting devices
The best in terms of quality, as well as the easiest connection using a cable for transmitting video and audio signals, is HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).
This digital broadcasting standard uses a cable with a 19-pin connector, which, along with the video signal (in the form of digital information), sends audio from an external device used to deliver content to the TV in parallel.
The big advantage of HDMI is the fact that one cable is enough to connect a DVD or Blu-ray player to a TV receiver. The HDMI standard does not use data compression, so there is no degradation in the quality of the transmitted content during transmission.
Another benefit of HDMI is its backwards compatibility with the DVI standard. With a DVI/HDMI adapter, you can transfer signals from, for example, your desktop computer or laptop via HDMI to your TV.
Optimal HDMI Cable to Full HD TV
Although sellers may tell you otherwise, you do not need to use an expensive HDMI cable to connect your receiver. Smart TV. In most cases, a cheap one to two meter long cable works equally well.
The transmission is carried out in digital format, so the signal is either there or it is not - there can be no loss of speech quality. However, if you care about the cable to serve you for many years, choose a hard and well-made one.
HDMI cables can be used to cover long distances without fear of interference, but for longer cables (over 5 meters, especially those over 10 meters), it is worth investing in a branded model. Otherwise, data transmission errors may occur.
Adjusting TV picture settings
In order to TVsSmart TV stimulated potential customers to buy, they should look optimal in the bright light of the store premises. So factory settings many receivers are matched to the conditions prevailing in most retail outlets, and in most homes are found to be too light and bright.
Additional image parameters suitable for your apartment, you need to change in the menu configurationTV.
TV screen color intensity
First of all, it is necessary to reduce the intensity of the color, which in many TV receivers installed at too high a level.
To do this, select settings picture mode normal, normal, natural or with a similar name. It should equally convey the intensity of individual colors.
Optimal Image Brightness
Parameter Brightness experts call the level and balance of black, which can get a color cast. Simply put, this setting specifies how dark, black areas of an image are displayed on TV.
When the brightness is set too high, the picture gives the impression of a faded, slightly bright and annoying picture. If it is very low, then details in the dark areas of the image will no longer be visible, and besides this, it will be more difficult to distinguish individual shades of colors.
Brightness is better install under the lighting conditions in which you most often watched broadcasts.
Adjusting the brightness of the TV picture
Light sensor, energy-saving mode and environmental friendliness - these three solutions are designed to reduce the current consumption from the TV receiver. As a result, the brightness level decreases, resulting in the picture appearing too dark. Even TV set equipped with a light sensor, which is designed to adjust the brightness of the image to environmental conditions, in most cases does not meet the expectations of users.
Although the mentioned mechanisms allow saving several tens of rubles a year, they deprive the viewer of the optimal image. To get the best picture quality, turn off the related features - depending on the model, they may have a name such as eco-friendly mode, eco mode, power saver, power saver mode, light sensor, or auto light control. Instead of this, install manually brightness level in the menu configuration and, if necessary, adjust it with the remote control.
Contrast setting
Parameter Contrast is used for adjust the intensity of the light parts of the image. Too high leads to the disappearance of details in the light parts of the picture. And when it is too low, the picture seems insipid and pale. For contrast settings choose the brightest scene possible.
TV screen backlight
If your receiver TV allows you to adjust the backlight of the screen, it is recommended to lower them in dark rooms. When there is light in the room, you can easily increase the selection.
Improving sound quality with simple methods
In cramped receiver cases Smart TV little space for solid speakers. Therefore, it is worth improving the sound of sound broadcasting television using additional equipment, Hi-Fi, home theater systems or sound cards.
However, you can get relatively high sound quality without using additional speakers. In most cases, you need to change the factory settings for this. settingsTV.
Some manufacturers select sound parameters very mediocrely, which does not allow using all the possibilities TV. To solve this problem, call the menu configuration and turn off simulated surround sound in settings audio.
Then turn off all sound effects and bass boost (outline). If your TV set allows you to separately adjust low, medium and high tones, install all sliders in the middle position, then adjust the sound to your preference.
TV hanging on the wall
If your TV supports sound adjustment based on the location of the device, try enabling this feature to get the best sound.
Volume jumps
The annoying problem of unexpected volume changes during commercials can be solved with the automatic sound adjustment feature that some offer. TVsSmart TV.
These receivers are able to detect sudden increases in volume and reduce it accordingly in real time.
HDMI Audio Format
If you do not hear sound when playing content from a device connected via HDMI, open sound settings
How old are flat-panel TVs? How many years have ultra-thin wall panels been around? And all in the same place.
TV - the center of the room, the center of the interior. Like it or not, the whole environment is created around it. Around a fixed black rectangle. No matter how you decorate it, the switched off panel will be a black mirror. Bad decision.
Samsung came up with a revolutionary idea: to turn the TV into a picture, inside and out.
This is how The Frame appeared: a personal art center, your own art gallery or an interior decoration. In combination - a top-end TV with incredible image quality.
The eternal problem: TV or picture?
All modern panels are thin, with barely noticeable frames. And yet, they look like televisions. And Samsung The Frame- still a TV, albeit with an extremely unusual appearance and a “picture” background mode. Plus, it's very thin. 
"Picture Mode" - an incredibly realistic screensaver with reproductions of famous paintings. The realism of the image, fantastic disguise as a canvas in a frame is achieved through 3 "pillars": thoughtful appearance, hardware capabilities of the TV and subtle system settings of the proprietary shell Tizen.
Over the disguise, Samsung specialists tried. The main features of The Frame:
1. Mount for flush mounting.
The Frame branded mount (included) is designed for gap-free mounting. Although, if desired, you can rotate a few degrees horizontally. 
If you don't like it, you can buy a tripod easel (sold as an optional accessory). There are also ordinary legs to put on a table or chest of drawers. Holes for VESA also have not been canceled.
2. Baguette instead of frames.
Reference: baguette - picture frame; holds the glass that protects the paintings and at the same time complements the appearance of the canvas, being a transitional element to the overall interior.
Thanks to the frames around the screen, Samsung The Frame could compete with any other TV for the title of frameless. But the chip is not in size. 
Each face of The Frame is magnetic and black. Frames imitating a baguette are attached to it. Available in walnut, beige and white. You will have to buy them (promotional offers often include an additional one for free).
3. Customizable passe-partout.
Reference: passe-partout - a cardboard frame or gluing for a picture, photograph.
The photo laid down by the manufacturer can be played back by any screen with connected “brains”. For resemblance to the real picture, Samsung came up with a software passe-partout. 
There are 3 single and 3 combined images to choose from. Mix and match as you like.
4. No wires.
All connectors and functional elements are placed in a separate block One Connect(we already wrote about it in the review), which can be hidden up to 15 meters from the TV itself. A standard 5-meter wire is included in the package, but a long 15-meter one will have to be purchased separately.
5. Presence sensor.
The TV only works when someone is in the room. Exited - pause and turn off the screen. And not just to save money.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg called The FrameTV Series. We tried to deal with everything in order.
Reality is already here: the screen
You need to start with the main thing - the image. It is thanks to him that Samsung The Frame is ready to argue with the real picture.
The Frame TV series includes 3 options - 43, 55 and 65 inches. A wide range of models allows you to choose the necessary diagonal for any interior. The living room should choose the largest. For example, we bought it for testing. 
Everyone has an honest Ultra HD matrix installed ( 3840×2160 pixels). Even if not QLED, but revealingly good - so much so that the younger model can even be used instead of a monitor for working with photos.
Color reproduction is extremely accurate. Those shortcomings that the matrix could introduce, Samsung corrects with the help of proprietary technologies, which in this TV are crammed simply obscenely:
- Active Crystal Color improves colors,
- motion rate(value - 200) improves the quality of motion reproduction,
- Mega Contrast includes dynamic contrast change,
- Micro Dimming improves the display of white (read - changes its balance).
They come with a light sensor that allows the TV to automatically change the brightness and color of the screen. A real killer feature that helps to save money and get an excellent image without additional manipulations.
All this turns any film into a work of art. Any- The Frame TV upscales video to 4K, and they do it very well. You can finally stop looking for good rips and just watch what you like. The quality is impeccable with any source. 
If you want more, you will have to buy a subscription to some streaming service, because only films in 4K HDR.
We conducted detailed testing: we watched a couple of action movies, drove several fighting games and racing simulators, worked with photos. With the Movies mode turned on, the picture is simply amazing.
The results will please even the most fastidious. The delay is minimal, the dynamics are amazing - all scenes are clear, bright, without blurry details. If desired, and with keen eyesight, you can see a speck of dust from under the wheels, if it is in the original image.
The factory color calibration is quite accurate, and after a little tweaking on The Frame, you can do retouching and design layouts. And how colorful presentations and commercials in 4K look on it! 
Proprietary smartphone companion app smart view(iOS , Android) allows you to fine-tune the brightness and level of automatic image correction, color temperature and balance. All settings are linked to readings from the light sensor for the best image quality at any time of the day.
How it works? Once adjusted, The Frame compensates for more reddish tones at the start of the day and cooler tones at noon. In the evening, the TV will dim the brightness.
What art do you prefer?
For a TV to become a picture, it must be "smart". In The Frame, the familiar Tizen in the latest version and the companion app for the smartphone are responsible for this. The excellent, smooth-running system has received several new features for the new TV series.
The operating system of the TV itself offers access to a huge number of applications and basic settings. But the "Picture" mode through the shell has limited capabilities. 
Without a special application, the maximum that a user can do is select one or more consecutive images from the TV memory or the picture store. You can also create your own set: up to 300 pictures in 4K can be saved to the TV’s memory from a USB drive.
The art store has become one of the main features of The Frame. There are 100 digital copies of the best paintings in the world already in his memory upon purchase. If that's not enough, Samsung offers access to the Art Store, which contains the best examples of paintings, drawings, and photographs from art museums around the world. A couple of clicks and they're on the TV in your living room. 
High resolution, by the way. No matter how much I tried, I could not find something like that - most of the options offered by Samsung are not only highly artistic, but also digitized much better than from free photo stocks.
It is through the Samsung SmartView application that you can set the fine settings of the screensaver and the operation of the light sensor. For example, a passe-partout with blurry or sharp edges is set here, to combine several images on one screen. The width of the fields also changes, as does the background color (however, only 10 colors are available). 
If you want something special, you can also install your own images - via SmartView or download from a USB drive. The only limitation is the size of photos or drawings as they are not scaled.
Modern technologies... In the picture!
As you already understood, inside all Samsung The Frame the most modern filling is hidden - about the same is used in other flagship series of the company. Powerful processor, fast memory.
Everything is in its place. Even a remote control that is easy to navigate in standard TV menus and surf the Internet through the built-in browser.
In addition to the switching unit. It is again placed in the module One Connect to hide away and not spoil the appearance with the presence. The module is connected to the TV with a single translucent optical cable, thin enough not to catch the eye of even a meticulous viewer. 
On board - everything that a modern user needs: 4 x HDMI with function HDMI-CEC
.3 x USB with the support HID
and hard drives LAN, CI slot, digital optical audio output and a pair of connectors for the antenna.
Unfortunately, there are no analog inputs. Neither composite nor component. But there is a modern WiFi and Bluetooth LE. Other built-in features include a pair of tuners (analog with noise filtering and digital DVB-T2CS2).
And a chic 2.2-channel audio system with a total power of 40 watts. The speakers pump even 40 squares: low frequencies are thick, warm; the middle range plays well in difficult moments, without turning into a mess; when testing high at maximum volume, no sibilants.
Looks different in the eyes of each person. Therefore, the concept of an ideal image is very relative and expresses the tastes and preferences of a particular TV owner. In this regard, manufacturers of such equipment lay in the design ample opportunities for adjusting parameters such as color, contrast and clarity. The TV screen settings are quite simple and accessible to anyone. This article explains the basic principles and details of setting up and adjusting the TV picture.
Preliminary actions
As a preliminary step, you should save on your computer a specialized chart for calibration, available at this link. The resulting test pattern must be copied to a USB drive and connected to the TV. The chart is opened and displayed on the TV screen using the built-in media player. The AndroidTV platform, used as the operating system of new generation TVs, does not allow you to change the image parameters, so you should open the diagram on such TVs using either the player.There is no need to use the advanced menu to set the basic system parameters. Moreover, additional options can only interfere with the TV setup. Therefore, in the "Settings" menu, you should alternately go to the "System Settings" and "Picture" submenus. At the indicated points, it is required to disable the light sensor, the parameters "Creating reality", "Smooth transition", as well as all available values of the "Noise reduction" function. In addition, the user should select a standard image format with a screen backlight level of 7-8 units. When preparing for setup, please note that parameter changes made from the Options menu only affect the current video signal. If the settings are changed from the Home menu, the settings are saved for the entire TV.
TV calibration
This procedure is necessary to check the picture size setting and eliminate the moiré effect. As a rule, each TV is more or less prone to the effect of image enlargement, which negatively affects the sharpness of the picture. Spots along the contours of the resolution, the so-called moiré, are visible to the naked eye. You can get rid of this effect and increase the sharpness of the image by using the function of disabling the automatic display area and setting the maximum resolution for it. The item "Screen Control" is available in the menu "Settings", "Display".Setting brightness options
The chart helps in calibrating the brightness of an image. To do this, the area of the image located to the left of the diagram is blackened as much as possible. If there is no difference between the blackened screen strip and the calibration chart, you should increase the brightness a little. As soon as the brightness difference between adjacent bands can be visually determined, the brightness adjustment can be considered completed. Setting Contrast Options
Similarly to the previous step, the contrast of the TV is adjusted. To do this, the lightest bar of the calibration chart is compared with the whitest bar of the TV screen, located to the right of the chart. Upon reaching the maximum possible, visible to the eye, level of lightening of the strip on the screen, in comparison with the strip of the diagram, the contrast adjustment can be considered successful. In the case of visual merging of two stripes, the contrast level is too high and must be reduced. Adjusting Sharpness Options
A light outline appearing along the lines of the diagram indicates that the TV is too sharp, which affects the quality of the picture and makes it look unnatural. In this case, the sharpness must be reduced until the light lines are no longer conspicuous. Adjusting Color Saturation Options
Color adjustment also follows the general rule of working with a calibration chart. The customizer needs to achieve optimal display of all color transitions located in the central part of the diagram. If the setting is correct, the picture on the TV screen will look bright and natural. Setting advanced settings
Brightness, contrast, sharpness, color reproduction are the main characteristics of the TV screen. But, besides this, the calibration effect can be significantly enhanced by activating additional settings that were disabled during the calibration preparation stage. Although the main image parameters have already changed quite a lot compared to the factory settings, for even better settings, you must perform the following procedures:- Turn on the "Create Reality" item, which significantly improves the quality of the picture and allows you to notice previously invisible details.
- Set the average value of the smooth transition, which will positively affect the color reproduction of both a simple image and a signal coming from a source with a high degree of compression. The difference is especially visible when displaying blue.
- Noise reduction should not be activated.
Optimizing settings for an image source
In order to speed up the process of adjusting the image coming from any source, you must select a screen mode that is as close as possible to the type of content being played. When connecting a game console, the picture mode should be "Game", when connecting a personal computer, the menu item "Graphics" is selected. After selecting the main mode, you can change the settings to obtain an image that meets the expectations of the owner. To apply the settings only to the selected signal source, use the "Options" item on the remote control.You will need
- - remote control (RC);
- - TV brand Samsung;
- - indoor or central antenna;
- - when connecting to digital television, you must have a digital set-top box.
Instruction
Search (tuning) of channels is also carried out using the "Service menu". Press Menu on the remote control, then select "Settings", where you will be offered a list of settings, select "Search /".
Here, digital or analogue channel search will be possible depending on your TV connection. Next, you will need how the tuning and channel search will be performed: manually or automatically, select “Manual” or “Auto tuning”, respectively.
With automatic tuning, the search for channels will be conducted without your participation. Programs will be automatically assigned, which you can change later. Channels that you watch more often than others, you can assign to the remote control.
Image adjustment is performed similarly to the previous settings. Menu button on the remote control, then the item "Image". Here you can choose the optimal image by changing the parameters "Contrast", "Clearness", "Brightness", "Color" using the cursor arrows of the value of the scale of the required parameter up or down.
Sound settings are also customizable. On the remote control Menu, "Settings", "Sound". In this option, select the quality and sound system from those offered. Depending on the model, Samsung TVs have different sets and sound quality. Modern models have a surround sound function, Dolby, an equalizer.

Cell phones are very convenient to use. You are constantly in touch. You can call anytime, no matter where you are. But sometimes the standard ringtones from different models of the same manufacturer, such as Samsung, are annoying.
Instruction
The bell rings, you grab the phone. And he calls from a neighbor who is sitting next to you in the passenger compartment of the bus. But this problem can be easily solved by setting your own ringtone settings on your Samsung phone. To do this, enter the phone menu and select the "My files" folder. Then, after scrolling through it, open the "Sounds" tab and navigate to the "Downloaded Sounds" folder. This folder contains melodies available for your phone model. Listen to each melody and choose the one you like.
Check the box and go to Options. Then click on the "Set as" command. The phone program will prompt you to install this melody like a call melody contact or how melody signal. Select the "Call" setting. When you receive a call, the selected default ringtone will play.
Can also be set as a call melody that you have downloaded to your phone. To do this, through the menu, enter the "Music" folder. From the list of downloaded ringtones, select the one you want to set as a ringtone. Then open the options, go to the "Set as" command, select "Ring". Save your settings. Now your phone ringtone will be different from others. In the settings, you can also set the volume of the melody, and check exactly how this or that melody will sound when you receive a call.
For each number, you can install separate melodies by selecting the "Set as melody contact". Then, even when the call rings, you will know who is calling you. In the same way, you can install melody to your phone's alarm clock. You only need to make settings in the Alarm Clock folder in the device menu. It is also worth noting that melodies from a flash drive are installed in a similar way, you just need to go to the directories that are contained on the memory card.
Quite often you can see people arguing about which brand of phone is better. Everyone gives their arguments in favor of some company, but it is not possible to come to a consensus.
Choose a phone
Buying a phone is not an easy task. The market is full of brands, each of which is represented by a dozen models. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages, each has its fans. Some people like multifunctional devices that are practically pocket computers, someone just needs a phone that allows you to make calls and send SMS messages. For example, a consumer chooses between Samsung and Nokia. Here it is necessary to understand.
Nokia has long been synonymous with quality, reliability and durability. In 2011, it accounted for more than 30% of the global market. Nokia phones have always been distinguished by their simplicity and "indestructibility". Recall at least the Nokia 3310. It was this model that survived bumps and falls and earned the company's credibility. It has become one of the most popular in the entire history of Nokia. Then a series of ups and downs began.
In particular, the emergence of such a model as the Lumia brought back the lost interest in Nokia. Lumia phones are modern and multifunctional devices running on Windows Phone, with a powerful processor, Wi-Fi and other "chips". Users who need not too expensive and at the same time productive devices should take a closer look at this series. In this case, Nokia phones are perfect for those who need "strong middling".
Or Samsung?
If until 2011, Nokia was firmly in the lead in the mobile phone market, then in 2012 this place was taken by Samsung. Since the company produces all the components itself, their phones can be more functional. And if they are inferior to Nokia in "indestructibility", then in terms of manufacturability, as well as value for money, they can give them a significant shape. In addition, all Samsung phones traditionally have powerful batteries. To date, Samsung products are the second largest in the world in the mobile technology market and have a huge range of models.
As for consumer reviews, they come down to the following: if you buy a phone worth up to 10 thousand rubles, i.e. you just need a phone, then you should buy a Nokia. If you need a convenient gadget, it is better to choose Samsung.
Experts' opinion can be reduced to the following: those who need a music center should look at Samsung, but if you need a phone, you should choose Nokia.
