Set Up for the Best Picture, Device by Device

Installing an app takes minutes; getting the picture right takes a little more care, and that's what these guides are for. Each covers one device — Apple TV 4K, Nvidia Shield, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, Android TV boxes, Samsung and LG televisions — with numbered steps and the settings worth changing afterwards: output resolution and dynamic range, frame-rate matching so films don't judder, the picture mode that avoids soap-opera motion, and the audio output that suits your soundbar. We explain what each setting does rather than just where it is, so you can make sensible choices on a different model. Start with your main screen. If anything on yours doesn't match the guide, message our setup team on WhatsApp and we'll go through it with you.
