Select picture mode
Do you not dare to adjust the picture settings manually or is it too much work for you? Then you can easily access preset modes. Depending on whether you are watching a film or sports, you can also adjust the picture mode without much effort.
Personal
In the settings of your Philips Smart TV you can choose from different areas. Here there is the “Personal” option, where certain settings are already pre-installed after you have bought your television set. When you first open your settings, this is where your favorite customizations will be saved.
lively
There is also a “Vivid” option, which is ideal for daylight viewing. The picture here is particularly colourful, strong and bright. This setting is often used in shops because it makes the TV screen look particularly attractive. In your own four walls, however, this setting can give a very artificial and exaggerated impression, since the picture sharpness and saturation are much too strong for everyday television.
Naturally
The “Natural” option reproduces particularly smooth image movements. The movement jerking in TV films is significantly minimized here and the TV picture looks particularly natural.
default
If the “Standard” option is in your picture settings, then this is always already set up as the factory default. Here you are offered a good mediocrity of all settings, which is particularly energy-efficient and does not appear too conspicuous as with the other settings.
Home theater and filmmaker fashion
You want pictures like on the cinema screen? Then you set up the “Movie” picture setting, which is ideal for playing movies with the original studio effect. This gives you a pleasant home cinema feeling with your Philips Smart TV.
The latest TV models from Philips also have a Filmmaker mode. You can choose this setting to watch films without artificial post-processing. However, this can lead to the picture appearing very dark, which is why it is advisable to watch the film in a darkened room.
game mode
If you primarily use your TV for gaming, then the Game option is for you. Here you get the perfect picture for all kinds of games. However, this picture setting is only available in HDMI video applications and the Philips streaming video app. With HDMI 2.1, your Philips TV will automatically switch to low latency (delay) mode.
PC mode
You can use the “Monitor” option to display computer applications. The original video is shown here with minimal processing. This setting is also only available if the video signal is provided by the HDMI source for the PC application.
Calman color calibration
If you are experts in this field, then Calman color calibration is also an option for you. Here you get a highly precise and professional color display of your television picture. With this software you can set the exact color nuances and a precise contrast ratio.
Dolby Vision
If your TV has Dolby Vision, your picture can be displayed even more dynamically. The difference between light and dark areas becomes much more visible. Depending on the time of day, this can be particularly useful.
Manual image settings
You have numerous options when it comes to the picture settings on your Philips TV. Here you set up the settings so that they fit exactly to your viewing habits. These include picture color, picture contrast, picture sharpness and brightness of your television set. In the further course we will show you what is decisive.

The color intensity setting ranges from black and white to the strongest color saturation at 100. However, if the color is set too high, the image will appear too radiated, which is why the value should level off on the scale from 50 to 80 to avoid the to achieve the best broadcasting on television. Here you can distinguish between three levels: “Little color”, “Medium” and “A lot of color”.
image contrasts
You can adjust the picture contrast of your Philips television set between “More contrast” and “Medium”. The different contrast values regulate the brightness and darkness on your television screen. You can recognize and distinguish between light and dark areas all the more.
