As stated in a previous post, we recently bought a (2026 Model) M70H Mini LED 43" TV. I am 71 and have to admit, kind of old school so all this "Smart TV" hype is all new to me. Our last TV was a 150# 32" Toshiba tube type that served us well for over 15 years.
The issue I currently have is this ... I am trying not to tamper with the "factory settings" per se BUT those settings don't fit my desires. Everything is too red and too sharp to the point of being almost blurry at times. I have already backed off the color some and moved the red/green more towards green. Color is better but. I noticed tonight watching a favorite show, if say, the camera is over a person's shoulder, their hair is like a black blob or, a dark suit or shirt is not clear and has like a cloudy film blotch.
The factory setting for the Contrast is 50 (maxed) and the sharpness is somewhere around 10 or 11. I did do a Google Search on the subject before starting this post just to try to understand the two better but, thought I would ask here for some input.
One other thing related to the color, if anyone has any ideas ... There is a button on the upper right of the remote with red, blue, green and yellow dots on it. If I press it a bigger similar button comes up on the screen. I can press on any of those four colors and it disappears. I don't notice any change in the picture. There is no explanation of this button in the scant included directions for the remote.
Just my thoughts contrast is best in middle setting and turn off high contrast in picture mode i use standard mode if you see dynamic turn that off also might see under advanced settings

Many TVs have preset "profiles" for the color. I don't know about Samsung TVs. if they have a "natural" setting or something similar that would be the best setting. Why would you not want to stray from the factory settings in order to get the color profile you want?

I don't like looking at a show full of sunburnt skin. Nor do I enjoy seeing blotchy cloud shapes on the back of close-up people or a dark blotch instead of clear hair. I feel like you are missing the point of my post.
That's why besides the hue profiles, they have manual adjustments of the individual colors as well as sharpness and contrast. It may take a long time to get the hue, tint, color, sharpness and contrast you find suitable, but it can be done. For 99% of users, the automatic settings are just fine. Unless there is something physically wrong with the video card or the screen in the TV, you should be able to make the adjustments you want. You should not rule out calling for service, especially if the unit is still under warranty. Also take note that some channels (CBS in particular, have their own color settings for their programs - they tend toward the red side and always have and their light blues tend to be vivid turquoise no matter how much tweaking is done).
