Question:

What are the different picture modes available on my Samsung TV and how do they affect my viewing experience?

Answer:

Your Samsung TV comes with various pre-calibrated picture modes designed to optimize picture quality depending on your viewing environment and content source. Here are some common picture modes and their characteristics:

Samsung TV's have been factory calibrated with different picture modes. These modes can be used to improve picture quality based on your incoming signal and environment.

Each source has it own picture modes and adjusting a picture mode on one source will not affect the picture modes on another source. For example: If you have connected a Blu-ray to HDMI 2 and have selected the Movie Mode and made some adjustments to color and contrast these settings will not affect the Movie Mode setting on any other source. This allows you to calibrate each source individually to your preferences.

Some picture modes that may be available on your TV are:
