Whether you're looking to buy or already own a Hisense TV, you may be wondering how to get the best possible picture quality. The Hisense settings menu offers a surprisingly wide range of options to play with to get the best picture for your space. You can tweak everything from basics like brightness and contrast levels to more advanced options like color space and Calman calibration (if you have the equipment).

Your changes can be applied across all media sources or to a single one, making it easy to set up multiple custom picture modes you can quickly switch among. And don't worry, if you mess up or change your mind, there's a handy reset button at the bottom of the picture settings menu that restores each option to its factory default.
To help walk you through the process, I've written out a menu map for setting up various picture settings so you can spend more time actually using your Hisense TV and less time getting lost in a sea of sliders and checkboxes.
One and done options
If you simply want to make a few selections and start watching your favorite shows and movies, or play a video game, new Hisense TVs offer plenty of "set and forget" picture options. There are seven picture mode presets: Standard, Sports, Energy Saving, Theater Night, Theater Day, Filmmaker, and Vivid. Each offers different brightness, contrast, color processing, and refresh rates to suit a variety of media, making it easy to switch from movies to games on-the-fly.
To get even more out of the presets, you can toggle on a few more options.
