Local OTA TV and calibrations

[Jodi]

I now have the Sammy UN49KS8000 4K UHD/HDR TV! YAY!!!

I was just wanting to know what the best calibrations are for the TV (CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, etc.) mode? I am now receiving my local channels over the air with a TERK Trinity antenna.

Thanks.......

I'd use the same calibrations settings that you use for Blu-rays, some people like to use a few post-processing options (like Digital Clean) as OTA channels aren't always as high quality as we'd like, but it's dependent on taste.

Your TV should be very accurate with Movie and Warm 2 settings.

OK, got a couple of questions...

1. OK, I'm good. How can I get to "2 Point" and "10 Point" settings - I have not adjusted those at all, or do I need to? Otherwise I had already calibrated all "Expert Settings" and all "Color Space" settings individually and all looks good so far.

2. How come sound cuts out sometimes when playing Blu-ray player (Sony BDP-S6500)? I just got this TV yesterday -- I noticed that it only happens on certain discs, but actually occurs on different spots in the general areas of mentioned discs? In other words, the dropouts do not occur at the exact same spots, but do occur in varying spots within the general area of a certain disc? I hope this doesn't sound confusing -- kinda weird, though.

Thanks again.....

The settings below are worth a shot. If the colours look off reset and use the default values.

I'm not sure what the audio issues are, make sure your firmware is up-to-date. What's your TV connected to?
