This little-known trick makes blacks blacker and colors richer. It also it gets rid of the washed-out look some entry-level TVs have. Another approach, especially if you watch a lot of TV


during the day and have a lot of light coming through the windows that you can't control, is to pump up the brightness on your TV a great deal. Sometimes new TVs are set to deliver high


brightness by default, which is how the big box stores tend to have them, but you can tweak this easily in the television's settings. CALIBRATION COUNTS Rather than spending a couple


hundred dollars to have someone properly set up your television for you, many Disney, LucasFilm and Pixar discs have a bundled calibration tool called THX Optimizer. It can be found in the 


SPECIAL FEATURES or SET UP area of the disc. A free app, THX Tune-Up, also is available for Android on Google Play and iOS in the Apple App Store. If you're using a disc, simply follow


along with the prompts using your DVD/Blu-ray remote, and let the wizard calibrate your home theater's video and audio settings. The latter relates to your audio-video receiver and


surround sound speaker setup. The test will take you through contrast, brightness, color, tint, aspect ratio (4:3 and 16:9), speaker assignment, speaker phase and subwoofer crossover.


DISABLING THE ‘SOAP OPERA’ EFFECT One more thing you might want to change is often referred to as the soap-opera effect. While your high-definition or 4K picture certainly looks sharp, you


might see something a bit odd about the image. You can't quite put your finger on it, but that TV show or blockbuster movie you're watching almost looks like it was shot with a


cheap camcorder instead of high-end video camera. You're certain _Grey's Anatomy_ wasn't filmed on the same set as _The Young and the Restless_ though it appears to be so! The


soap-opera effect is really called “motion smoothing” or “motion interpolation,” designed to decrease motion blur and make movements seem smoother and more lifelike. Your new TV might see


low frame-rate source material and try to fill in the gaps between frames with additional ones the TV generates, to help smooth out fast motion. If you're not a fan, enter the SETTINGS 


menu on your television to turn off the feature or least adjust its intensity.
