I've had the CX since September and I've had it set to Cinema mode using Rtings recommendations when watching HDR content.
Today I went to watch some videos on YouTube then movies on Netflix and for about 3 hours I kept thinking "wow, these videos and movies look great!" . Even my wife commented on a 4k HDR wildlife video I was watching on YouTube.... and she thinks my TV obsession is the dumbest thing ever and she NEVER comments on the topic.
After about 3 hours I went into the settings.... and for some unknown reason.... it was set to standard picture mode. Default with no user adjustments. No idea who changed it, might have been my kid . Its a mystery.
I forgot how vibrant HDR looked in standard picture mode. Vivid might be too much but standard reslly makes the highlights pop and the details are so sharp .
My question is why? Why do we buy these expensive tvs with all these special features then we proceed to turn them all off and get a darker , less detailed , less sharp picture? Why is standard picture mode so reviled ? I honestly forget how I also thought thst when I first got the tv, but then forced myself to set it to the "right" settings and then just forget about it.
Anyone else prefer standard picture preset ?
