🎯 Introduction
Just bought a new Smart TV? Great!
But before you start binge-watching Netflix or YouTube, it’s essential to set up your TV’s picture and sound settings the right way. This ensures your TV looks and sounds the way it was meant to—and gives you the best value for your investment.
In this post, we’ll show you how to:
- Calibrate picture settings 🎨
- Improve audio without buying a soundbar 🔊
- Set up your Smart TV for local apps and streaming in Bangladesh 🌐
📺 Step 1: Choose the Right Picture Mode
Navigate to: Settings > Display > Picture Mode
Mode | Best For |
---|---|
Standard | Everyday viewing |
Movie/Cinema | Dark rooms, movie nights |
Vivid/Dynamic | Bright rooms, sports |
Game Mode | Low input lag for gaming |
Expert/Custom | Manual fine-tuning |
✅ Tip: In Bangladeshi homes with bright lighting, start with Vivid, then adjust.
🎛️ Step 2: Manually Tweak Picture Settings
- Brightness: Set between 45–55 for balance
- Contrast: 80–90 for 4K clarity
- Sharpness: 10–15 (too high causes noise)
- Color Saturation: 50–60 is ideal
- Backlight: Increase in daytime, reduce at night
- Motion Smoothing: Turn off for movies, on for sports
✅ Pro Tip: Turn off energy-saving mode for better backlight performance.
🔊 Step 3: Improve Your Sound Settings
Navigate to: Settings > Audio > Sound Mode
Mode | Use Case |
---|---|
Standard | Normal TV shows |
Movie | Dialogues + Bass (best for dramas) |
Music | Better highs and clarity |
Clear Voice | For elderly viewers |
Surround/Dolby | Best if your TV supports it |
🎚️ Advanced Tip: Use Equalizer Settings
- Boost mids for clarity
- Reduce treble if sound feels harsh
- Add bass for music or action scenes
🧠 Step 4: Use Your Room’s Layout to Your Advantage
- Place TV at eye level, not too high
- Keep speakers unobstructed by walls or decor
- Use curtains to reduce screen glare
- Wall-mount if space is tight (common in Dhaka flats)
✅ Ideal viewing distance for 43″–55″ TVs: 6–8 feet
🌐 Step 5: Set Up Streaming & Bangladeshi Apps
- Connect to Wi-Fi → 10 Mbps+ for HD, 20 Mbps+ for 4K
- Install key apps:
- YouTube
- Netflix
- Amazon Prime
- Bongo BD
- Bioscope
- Chorki
- Set your location/region to Bangladesh (for content relevance)
- Use Google Assistant or Bangla Voice Control (if supported)
🔁 Bonus: Enable Automatic Software Updates

This ensures your TV gets:
- New features
- Security patches
- Bug fixes
- OTT app improvements
