Sometimes I change picture settings through the player.
Press "info" button on remote, then go over to "options", afterwards you should adjust picture modes to the way you like it like Vivid for example.

Currently at $25 at Walmart, which is insane for a 4K UHD player with HDR capability as well as 3D capability. It's cheaper than regular BD player without WiFi too.

Every time I put a disc in it changes the picture mode back to 'basic' even though I left it on my 'user' setting. Is there a way to change the default setting to User mode?

I don't think there's a way to make "User Setting" or "Vivid" the new default setting.

Bought the 875 from Best Buy and was a little worrried that the player wasn’t showing the best quality picture. The movies seemed dark at first especially when compared to streaming in 4K. Well, in order to get the best and brightest picture, you have to manually go to the settings in the LG player and turn the brightness all the way up. This made a huge difference! My only worry is whether I will have to raise the brightness every time I watch a movie, meaning, it doesn’t store my adjusted setting.

Unfortunately you'll have to do this everytime, "Standard" setting will always be the default.

This seriously makes me question my purchase. I wonder if their is a way to let the tv handle the display settings?

I originally bought the similarly priced Magnavox and returned it due to the image looking dark. I now wonder if it was also due to the player’s menu having to be adjusted. Did not look closely enough for the few hours I had it.

Anyone know if this is also a region free player? One of the recent reviews on Amazon.com mentioned that it was able to play a UK region B blu-ray without any issues. Can anyone test and possibly confirm?
