Unlocking Hidden Menu Can Help Utahns Find Better TV Viewing At Home

Could your television look better than it does? People in Utah usually purchase their flat screen from a place like Costco or Walmart. These televisions are set to look bright in these stores. This is different than how it will look in your living room.

Enhancing Your TV Experience

My wife won a television from her work and I put it on the wall. However, the picture looked washed out. I went to the picture menu and tried the different settings like vivid, movie, sport, and none of them looked right.

The problem is this picture menu only gives the consumer some control over the settings. There is a place technicians can go to make the picture look better. This is accessed by a sequence of buttons on the remote.

There is a reason this is kept back from the consumer and it isn't just so the service guys can make more money. These settings are more technical and it is easy to mess it up and then return the television as defective.

Navigating the Technical Menu Safely

That doesn't mean the average human can't access it and fix some picture problems. This video on YouTube describes how to get into this technical menu. He also gives some settings that will make a big difference.

The important thing to remember if you do start messing with your picture settings is to document everything you do. Before making a change, take a picture of where it was at so you can go back to the original setting if it doesn't work.
