Calibration


Most TVs come out of the box calibrated for store use. We're pretty confident you don't live in a store, so we're equally confident these default settings won't be ideal for your living room. Calibration will help your TV output the most optimal picture for your viewing environment.

In our case, calibration helps us test our TVs at their peak performance. We calibrate our TVs using DisplayMate and a photospectrometer. We're aiming for a color temperature of 6500K and to maximize contrast without sacrificing color performance. We've listed the settings we used in the chart below. If we didn't include a setting in the table, it means we didn't touch it.

Feel free to use the settings listed below to calibrate your RCA L40FHD41. This setup will get you pretty close to ideal, but since we're extremely confident you don't live in our testing labs, they won't be perfect. The alternative is to pay a professional to come in and fine-tune your settings for you.

Video Modes


The TV has a few video modes, but we can't tell for the life of us what they do. There isn't any documentation on the TV or in the manual, and our photospectrometer didn't really measure much difference between them in terms of color temperature. A few dimmed the backlight slightly. Regardless, here's a list of these nebulous modes at your disposal: natural, sports, personal, vibrant, and cinematic.
