Configure Your Picture Mode
Before configuring your TV, you need to understand how it works. There are two picture settings viz. Brilliant color & Black Detail will help you in getting a clear picture with accurate colors and shadow details.
Vizio Smart TVs have three picture modes:
Normal
This picture mode is suitable for normal and everyday use. It has the lowest brightness and black levels, it doesnโt offer much depth to the image and you can clearly see pixels on a static background.
Vivid
This mode enhances both color and contrast of the image displayed on your TV. In this setting, Vizio TVs offer the brightest output with vibrant colors. The primary drawback of this mode is that it doesnโt perform well in dark rooms.
Calibrated
This is the best picture setting in Vizio TVs which offers accurate color reproduction for photos, videos and games. It has the lowest input lag which makes viewing smooth & better when playing games. You can stick to this picture setting for watching movies, TV shows and sports.
How to Set Picture Mode?
On your Vizio Smart TV remote, press the Menu button & go to the picture mode option, move left/right using arrow keys to select Calibrated (if you want calibrated settings) or Vivid (If you want vivid colors) and choose OK.
For any changes made in picture mode, the TV will automatically check and set that new mode. If you donโt like it simply go back and change your picture settings to your preference according to the environment you are watching this TV. Itโs done!
Configure Your Backlight
In Vizio TVs, Backlight is preferred to be set manually which will boost the brightness of your TV and provide a clear clearer image. In Calibrated mode, you can adjust the backlight as preferred but it is recommended to keep the standard value for perfect picture quality.

FAQs:
Is โTV Brightnessโ the same as โBacklightโ?
No, TV brightness is just a reference value to indicate the level of image brightness and not the actual backlight brightness.
What is the Active LED Zone in Vizio TVs?
It improves picture production by increasing contrast levels in terms of zonal control. Its main objective is to increase black levels at different parts of the screen when a signal is received from the video source. Calculating zone count is a lot easier in practice because it doesnโt involve any fractions or decimals.
