I Made My Cheap Smart TV Look Way Better With These Tweaks

Summary
Depending on what you enjoy watching the most, you can select a picture mode to suit that content, for example, sports, cinema, or gaming
Motion smoothing, also known as the soap opera effect, can be turned off as it rarely improves picture quality and often makes content unwatchable due to strange distortions
Turning down the sharpness setting can improve picture quality, as excessive sharpness can distort pictures, especially on fast-paced content
Contrast, color, and tint settings can also be optimized for the best picture quality, however, these require minimal adjustments because they are preset modes that are already set at optimal levels
Turning off ambient light detection is also recommended as it automatically adjusts your TV’s brightness according to the light in the room, which can be annoying if you are moving around a lot.
Ensuring you have recently purchased a new HDMI cable can improve picture quality as well, as long as you check that it is certified, the connector type is correct, and it is of good quality.
