- Filmmaker -mode 1.1 Includes Surroundly Compensation
- It will have nule effect in very dark spaces
- It delivers brighter images without destroying the accuracy
Filmsmaker Mode gets a much needed upgrade that solves a key problem with TV’s image cleaning setting: For many of us it’s just too dark.
As much as I love the idea of filmmaker-mode-delivery of films exactly as their producers had an intention, there is a Teeny-Tiny problem with what is that I and many of the readers who have been in contact with us about filmmaker mode on their TVs do not watch our TVs in a movie theater.
And that means that filmmakers -Many movies make many movies so dark that I might as well get the screen off if it’s a bright day.
Filming Mode Fashion 1.1, which has been introduced by the UHD Alliance, solves it.
1.1 version uses your TV’s surrounding light sensor to adjust the brightness based on the surrounding light in your room.
This does not mean that your classic movie collection suddenly looks like you have activated your TV’s retail state to make everything brighter than anything else. But for those of us who can’t see movies in complete darkness, it will allow us to get the benefits of filmmaker mode without the eye strain.
Image processing is not the enemy
We use filmmaker -mode when testing TVs because it is usually the most accurate state. But it is not always the most useful state for daily view, because in its search for cinematic purity it turns off a lot of treatment functions. And one of these features is your TV’s surrounding light compensation.
Image processing gets a bit of a bad rep, but the problem is not that imaging is bad; It’s the bad image processing is bad. We have all experienced the weak nightmare crispness of faces from overly aggressive image treatment, especially when collecting lower solutions. But used with care, image processing can do and make things better.
A good example of that is movement management. Too much of it is terrible, especially in movies. But you need a little on today’s bright TVs, or you get the panning of referees, which is something that is ruining movies and TV shows for me and as the smart authentic movement technical feature in Dolby Vision 2 Max is partly designed to address.
It is the same with easy compensation. If you are in the kind of viewing room Martin Scorsese Watches Film In, then Dark is great: There is almost no ambient light in these rooms that were designed specifically to show movies. But in most cases, your room wasn’t: It’s just a normal room with windows and curtains or blinds and lights coming from different places.
If you are in Marty’s film reference room, this change into filmmaker -Make no difference to your experience: The surrounding sensor does not detect enough surrounding light to turn on any image processing.
But if you are in a normal room and your TV has surrounding filmmaker mode – which is already in TVs like LG C5 and LG G5 OLED -TVs – the algorithm will adjust the image so you can see it: not the colors or color temperature, just the light of the image. Flatpanelshd has a practical guide to how the algorithm works as well as edge cases where it may not be so effective.
I think this is a welcome development. It doesn’t ruin things for the serious cinephiles in their reference rooms, and it will improve things for them by us with more modest film setups. Expect to see the new filmmaker – mode in several TVs through 2025 and above – we are watching all the news about what comes to specific existing models.
