Turn Off These 3 TV Features for Better Picture Quality

With the first wave of new 2024 TVs hitting the market, you might be in the market for a new set—maybe to catch all the Major League Baseball action or to watch blockbuster movies in all their 4K HDR glory. But you could be disappointed to find your new TV doesn’t look quite as awesome as you imagined once you bring it home and set it up.

Instead, everything looks a bit fake and unnatural, not what you anticipated when you plunked down your credit card for a state-of-the-art television.

Before you race back to your local TV barn to demand a refund, take a deep breath: You may be a victim of your TV’s out-of-the-box settings rather than a lackluster piece of technology.

Many new TVs come with a bevy of optional display features that are turned on by default, and a few could be robbing your set of the best picture possible. Below are three features we recommend you shut off—or at least turn way down—when you get a new TV home.

One bit of good news is that it has been getting easier to get a great picture on new TVs. Useful new features include Filmmaker Mode and, to a lesser extent, Netflix Calibrated Mode, which we describe in more detail below.

In addition to turning off the following three features, you can adjust other TV settings, such as black levels and color, to get the best picture quality. And CR members can consult our TV Screen Optimizer to find the best settings for their own TV.

1. Noise Reduction

“Hey,” you might say, “why do I want to turn off noise reduction? I don’t want to see any noise on my TV!” That would seem to make sense, except it doesn’t.

Noise—sometimes called “snow” on account of the black and white dots in the picture—was a big issue with older analog TVs, especially with low-definition analog signals. When TVs upconvert video signals from low-quality sources, you may still see some noise.

But for the most part, you’re getting much cleaner, higher-quality digital source content these days, whether you’re using over-the-air digital broadcasts, high-def signals from cable or satellite TV services, streaming service signals, or pristine video from Blu-ray discs.

The problem with noise reduction is that it comes at the expense of detail and fine texture; these tend to get smoothed over when the feature is active. The picture can get soft-looking. Turn off noise reduction and you’ll have a more natural-looking image.

2. Sharpness Control/Edge Enhancement

Another entry in the “sounds good but really isn’t” department is sharpness control, which doesn’t actually make the image sharper.

What it really does is accentuate the edges of images. At first glance, this might give the impression of greater detail, but in reality it masks fine detail—and oversharpened images can add a halo around objects.

So turn it way down or completely off. Some TVs have a zero setting in the center of the control. That’s what you should use. Lower it beyond that point and you might actually soften the image.

3. Motion Smoothing

One issue with LCD-based TVs in particular is that the image can blur during fast-moving scenes, especially in action movies or sports.

TV manufacturers use various technologies to reduce motion blur, such as repeating frames or inserting black frames into the video signal. These techniques go by a number of names, including Auto Motion Plus (Samsung), Motionflow (Sony), and TruMotion (LG).

What is the run time of SONY battery?

SONY batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:

  • 14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
  • 14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours

Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour.

PlayStation 5 Won’t Support Native 1440p Resolution After All Says Sony

When the subject of next-gen console resolution come up, we hear a lot about 4K, but what about 1440p? Obviously the Xbox Series S will support 1440p, as it’s been specifically designed around that resolution, and Microsoft has said the Series X will support it as well, but what about the PlayStation 5? Sony has remained rather quiet on the subject. Previously, monitor manufacturer BenQ hinted the PS5 would support 1440p, but it seems they were mistaken.

According to IGN Italy, representatives from Sony have officially confirmed that the PS5 doesn’t support 1440p natively. Now, you’ll still be able to connect a 1440p screen to your PS5 and play games, but what you’ll most likely be getting is a 1080p signal upscaled to 1440p, which doesn’t always look great. This isn’t anything new – surprisingly, the PS4 Pro also only supported 1080p and 4K natively even though, functionally, a large number of its games ran at around 1440p.

So, why does this matter? Well, if you’re strictly a couch-and-TV gamer, it probably doesn’t. The vast majority of TVs are either 1080p or 4K, with 1440p screens being exceedingly rare. That said, 1440p screens are popular amongst a subset of PC gamers, so those looking to play their PS5 games on their monitor may be in for a less-than-optimal experience. Of course, Sony giving PC gamers the cold shoulder isn’t terribly surprising – they’ve started to allow some of their games like Horizon Zero Dawn to be ported to PC, but they’re still primarily about the console-TV experience.

The PlayStation launches on November 12 or November 19, depending on whether you live in North America/Australia or Europe. So, what do you think? Does a lack of 1440p support matter to you? Or do you plan to play your PS5 on a regular TV and thus only care about 1080p and 4K?

Sony’s Xperia Play 2 That Should’ve Been

Many years ago, Sony released the Xperia Play smartphone. Basically, it was a smartphone slash PSP, and while it may have looked cool, it wasn’t exactly beloved by all who had one. It was 2011 after all, so there was still a ways to go before gaming phones really hit their stride. On reddit this weekend, photos of what appears to be Xperia Play 2 hardware was posted, reminding us that a phone such as this could excite quite a few gamers these days.

The prototype hardware, which was apparently posted to a marketplace app in China, looks pretty darn exciting. Similar to the original, you could slide the display up in the landscape position, just like the OG DROID. Once slid, it would reveal a standard d-pad, PlayStation buttons on the right side, as well as what looks like capacitive joysticks. On the backside there’s dedicated trigger/bumper buttons, while the front has dedicated buttons for navigation, easily dating the hardware to pre on-screen Android navigation buttons.

This phone will never launch, obviously, but it’s still a really cool concept. In 2016, I did say that Sony Ericsson should think about redoing the Xperia Play, but that doesn’t look likely right now. Maybe down the road at some point? Anything’s possible.

Would you rock something like this?

Sony Announces PS5 Pricing: $499 For Regular Console, $399 For Digital Edition

At Sony’s PlayStation 5 Showcase this afternoon, the final (and much awaited) pieces of the puzzle with regards to the console’s launch have dropped: pricing and a release date.

Sony’s next-generation console will launch on Thursday, November 12th. The full version of the console, which includes a Blu-ray disc drive, will launch at $499. Meanwhile the “Digital Edition” of the console, which foregoes optical storage entirely, will release for a surprising $399, a full $100 cheaper despite only giving up a disc drive.

This will put Sony’s launch 2 days after Microsoft’s own Xbox Series X/S launch, which is taking place on Tuesday, November 10th. The $499 price tag for the two companies’ respective flagship consoles will put them in direct competition, while the PS5 Digital Edition/Xbox Series S divide should prove far more interesting – if not a bit frustrating for consumers trying to make the best choice. The discless PS5 is every bit as powerful as its disc-capable sibling – making it a spoiler of sorts at $399 – whereas the Xbox Series S gets a significantly weaker GPU than the Xbox Series X. However at $299 the slimmed down console is cheaper still, and still gets to run next-gen games.

Or if you’re in the mood for a PC (a platform we’re particularly partial towards), over the next couple of months we will be seeing new hardware launches there as well, including NVIDIA’s $500 GeForce RTX 3070, and AMD’s new RDNA2-based Radeon RX 6000 video cards. So there is no shortage of gaming hardware to be had this fall – at least if you have the cash.

What is the run time of sony battery?

sony batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:

  • 14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
  • 14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours

Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour.

Sony’s new $350 ‘Bose killer’ headphones vs. Bose’s highly rated $400 noise-cancelling headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM4 and Bose 700 both tick off all the basics for a premium headphone experience in 2020 and beyond — they help hush the noise around you with active noise cancelling, they deliver premium sound, they’re comfortable, and they’re wireless.

At $350 for the Sony WH-1000XM4 and $400 retail for the Bose 700, they offer more than simply the basics. You get important features that let you connect to two devices at a time (great if you switch between your computer and phone), and they also offer among the best phone call quality I’ve ever heard on headphones. You’re getting excellent bang for your buck with these cans. 

I’ve had the luxury and pleasure to try both of these headphones side-by-side, and there are important and major differences between the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Bose 700 you should know about before making a decision. You can also check out the full review for the Bose 700 here. 

The Sony WH-1000XM4 can be preordered now, and will be released and available to buy starting in mid-August. The Bose 700 were released in June 2019. 

Design and comfort

The Bose 700 have a more modern and sleek design with stylish organic curves throughout the headband and exterior earcups. On heads and ears, the Bose 700 feel comfortable. The pads are soft yet sturdy enough to keep their form over longer listening periods. They don’t clamp down too much on my head and ears, and the headband doesn’t hurt the top of my head over time, and I can move my head back and forth with having them slip off. 

Meanwhile, the Sony WH-1000XM4 have a more neutral headphone design that few can complain about. Overall, the Sonys are more comfortable than the Bose. The Sonys are lightweight and slightly more plush and softer around the ears than the Bose 700, but still secure enough to prevent the headphones from moving around with head movements. The headband is comfortable and places less strain on the top of the head, too. 

The Sonys can become a little more compact and fold up into a sort of ball shape with their folding earcup design, whereas the best the Bose can do is twist their earcups to become flat. 

Sound quality

Bose 700: These have Bose’s signature silky smooth sound, with rich, crisp, clear bass, a wide soundstage, clear separation, and superb clarity. Few can fault this audio quality and sound. 

Bass-heads won’t be satisfied here, however, as Bose tends to be more conservative and “refined” compared to the Sony WH-1000XM series — while listening to a lot of music, from Reggae to electronic music, I find myself wanting more rolling bass that fills my ears for the span of a song. 

Sony WH-1000 XM4: The Sony WH-1000 XM4 produce a more powerful and exciting sound than the Bose 700. With that said, clarity, soundstage, and separation aren’t as good — the Sonys almost sound muffled compared to the Bose. Out of the box, the Bose 700 are likely to be more appealing, at least for those who value clarity and clearly hearing different instruments as if they were spread out from each other. 

But the Sonys really have two types of sound: out-of-the-box, and whatever you want them to be. Indeed, you can customize the sound the XM4s deliver through the Sony Music app, and it makes a big difference, and it’s far more comprehensive than what you get with Bose or the built-in equalizers in most phones.

For me, Sony’s customization means I can get the best of both worlds — the XM4’s signature power and excitement, some extra bass, as well as a clearer sound with a wider soundstage and separation that’s almost as good as the Bose. 

The Sonys are more versatile than the Bose, and that counts for a lot. 

Noise cancelling and battery life

I tested the noise cancelling abilities of these two headphones in a room that measured 53 decibels, a level produced by an air conditioner vent blowing glorious cold air above me, and two loud Vornado fans (one medium, one personal size) blowing close by that simulated a fairly loud office. I also tested the noise cancelling around a 10KW power generator at sound levels between 65 and 85 decibels. 

Both the Bose 700 and Sony XM4 do a remarkable and similar job of cancelling out noise. In my simulated office setting, the fan noises were almost completely eliminated without music. With music, even at lower volumes, ambient noise is all but forgotten.

As for the generator test, I could absolutely still hear the loud engine that creates 10,000 watts at 240 volts with both headphones, but the sound was dramatically reduced to a tolerable level. 

If I had to pick one that made things quieter than the other, I’d say the Bose was ever so slightly more effective, but not by much at all. You’ll be happy with whichever pair you go for when it comes to noise cancelling. 

As for battery life, Sony claims 30 hours and five hours of listening time from a quick 10-minute top-off charge with 1.5A or more adapter. Bose claims a 20-hour battery life and three and a half hours of listening time from a 15-minute charge. Whether they actually last 30 hours in unclean — to be honest, I’m not timing how long I’m using them with every listening session. But I can safely say the Sonys lasted longer than the Bose before needing a charge. 

Phone calls

The Bose 700s’ party trick when they were first released was their incredibly effective ambient noise cancellation during phone calls, which works for both you and the person you’re speaking to on the phone. 

I tested a phone call with both headphones while standing around the corner from a very loud 10KW power generator, where decibel levels read between 65 and 70 decibels — just below the 73.4 average decibel level of the NYC streets, according to this study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) from 2015.

The Bose and Sony headphones both performed very well. The person I called could hear my voice clearly over the sound of the generator, and couldn’t actually hear the generator humming along at 70 decibels for most of the call. To be extra nitpicky, the person I called said the Sonys had more static noise than the Bose, and that my voice sounded more tinny. 

To be sure, a phone call using headphones that don’t have some kind of active noise reduction for calls would be extremely uncomfortable. 

It seems the headphones’ limit was about the 80 to 85 decibel range, where I stood right next to the generator, which is over twice as loud as 70 decibels. 85 decibels is about as loud as a gas-powered lawnmower or a leaf blower, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At 80 decibels, a conversation was impossible — both me and the person I called were constantly being cut off, and it simply wasn’t a good time. 

For reference, neither headphones worked as well at reducing the generator’s noise than the phone I was using, the Pixel 4XL. In fact, the Pixel 4XL allowed a totally normal conversation right next to the generator at 85 decibels. It sucked for me, being right next to the equivalent of a leaf blower, but the person I was calling wasn’t too affected. 

Apps and other features

Both headphones have proximity sensors that pause and resume music when you take the headphones on and off. 

Both headphones have Bluetooth multi-point, which means you can connect to two devices at the same time. It’s useful if you use the headphones between your phone and your computer. This is a new addition for Sony, as the previous XM3 headphones didn’t have multi-point. 

Both headphones have touch sensor controls on the exterior earcups. 

The Bose Music app is significantly more polished and prettier than the Sony Headphones app. With that said, the Bose Music app isn’t as rich in features.

The Bose app offers pretty basic and generic customizations for a pair of “smart” headphones, like adjusting the level of noise cancellation and the level of your voice so you can hear yourself during a phone call. It also lets you customize what smart voice assistant you want to use.

Conversely, the Sony Headphones app is rich in features, but it’s not as pretty or user-friendly.

It includes similar features as the Bose app, as well as a “Speak to chat” feature that automatically pauses music and turns off noise cancelling when you start speaking out loud, which is designed to let you keep your headphones on if someone starts speaking to you. By default, the music resumes and noise cancellation turns back on 30 seconds after you’re finished speaking. You can adjust the amount of time for your music and noise cancellation to resume. It works surprisingly well, but at the same time, I think keeping headphones on while anyone is speaking to you is rude, so I’d take them off anyway.

There’s also “Quick Attention” that lets you cover the right earcup to disengage noise cancellation and reduce audio volume. Noise cancelling and volume return once you remove your hand from the right earcup. It works well, and it’s perhaps less rude, as covering the earcup is at least an indication that you’re doing something to pay attention to the person you’re speaking to. 

The Sony app also includes a noise cancellation optimizer designed to, well, optimize noise cancellation for you by analyzing anything that might alter the earcups’ seal around your ears and adjusting the sound. I’m not entirely sure if it works, to be honest, but optimized or not, sound quality and noise cancellation remain excellent.

There’s also a “360 Reality Audio” feature that supposedly enhances audio with some kind of surround sound enhancements. The setup process is odd, as you need to take photos of your ears, and it only works with the Tidal, Nugs, and Deezer streaming apps. I don’t use any of these apps, so I couldn’t test this feature. Honestly, these kinds of features rarely end up enhancing anything for the better. 

Which one should you get?

The $50 discrepancy between these two headphones isn’t going to sway a decision here — you can find deals on the Bose fairly regularly, and the Sonys will get their days of deals soon enough (they were just released at the time of writing). 

You’ll be pleased with either seeing as they perform similarly in noise cancelling and phone call quality. And both have excellent sound quality. 

But against my preference, I can see myself recommending the Bose 700 more often than the Sony WH-1000XM4 because they sound better out of the box, and I know some people aren’t likely to fiddle around with an app to customize the sound. 

If I know the person is a little more techy and they’re open to customizing their sound through an app, I’d recommend the Sony WH-1000XM4 for their versatility. Indeed, the Bose sound great for a wide range of people, but everyone hears differently, and you might find a sound you prefer with the Sonys. In the Sony Headphones app, I like the “Bright” preset and a +7 “Clear Bass” setting.
