Just bought another 4K Blu ray player!

This time back to the Samsung 4K Blu Ray player, it was on offer in John Lewis a used one and I wanted to try some more settings, this time so far I am finding it better than the first time. Got The Martian and Scorio or something like that. This time I am using vivid and HDR bright picture setting and enjoying it more. For some reason this time you seem to have more picture settings - perhaps a firmware update? Anyway back to recommending 4K again.

Was that question to yourself? *biggrin* did you exhaust the options on the panny, just wondering if your poor experiences so far have been as a result of some sub-optimal settings?

Could well be. I suppose I need to get my TV calibrated really. I am now watching on HDR effect high picture setting, I got tired of the vivid settings quickly. I mean the picture quality looks quite good. The blacks are really black and it's nice and bright. I can't exactly compare it side by side to Blu Ray, so I will just have to take everyone's word for it.

you need to select the user setting on the player and set everything to 0, for the most realistic image. use whatever setting you like on the tv, i don't know what lg's setting are like but the equivalent to movie on my samsung works best.

I would get your tv calibrated, then it doesn't matter what player you use because all the picture processsing will be switched off.
