Use the SeeColors app
Not everyone sees the world the same way. If you have some color blindness, it can affect your TV viewing experience. No worries, the SeeColors app can test the level and type of color blindness you have, and then automatically adjust your TV's color, so the picture will look great. Newer TVs and monitors will feature a SeeColors Mode in their accessibility menu. Keep reading to learn how to use the SeeColors app on your TV or phone.
Use SeeColors on your TV
Note: For 2023 and newer TVs and monitors, there will be a SeeColors Mode in the accessibility menu. The mode will provide picture presets and allow you to select the most suitable option.
For older TV models, if the picture on your TV looks a little funky because of your color blindness, you can fix it in no time using the SeeColors app on the TV. Just follow these steps:
Press the Home button on your Samsung TV remote, and then select APPS. Select the Search icon and then search for and select SeeColors. Download and open the app. Select START to begin the color blind test. For more information on how to download apps, check out Use apps on your Samsung TV or projector.
