Get the Best Picture on Your QLED and UHD TV

Two people in a living room watching a Samsung QLED TV

With 8K and 4K resolution, QLED and UHD TVs were made for enjoying ultra-high-definition (UHD) content! There are also settings available that will optimize the TV for UHD content when an ultra HD Blu-ray player is connected. You can even adjust the HDMI Black Level for richer blacks and color on the screen.

View UHD Videos on Your QLED and UHD TV

If you need help connecting your Blu-ray player, we have instructions for that. If you need help with another device, navigate to Settings > Support > Connection Guide on your TV. This guide will provide help on connecting various devices.

Once you have connected your UHD Blu-ray player or UHD game console to your TV to watch a new release in 4K – what's next? Use Input Signal Plus (also known as HDMI UHD Color) to optimize the TV for UHD content. The best part is on some of our TVs, the device is instantly recognized and this setting is turned on automatically. If for some reason, this doesn't happen, follow these steps:

Press the Home button on your TV remote, and then navigate to and select Settings > General. Select External Device Manager, and then select Input Signal Plus. Select the HDMI port you connected your device to, and then press Select to turn the feature On. 

Note: Whenever you connect the TV to an external device that only supports the UHD 24 or 30 Hz frequency, Input Signal Plus may not be available.

Use HDMI Black Level on Your QLED and UHD TV

That black and white film is looking a little dull on your old DVD player. No worries, just use HDMI Black Level to increase the contrast. Here’s how to turn it on:

Press the Home button on your TV remote, and then select Settings > General. Select External Device Manager, and then select HDMI Black Level to turn it on.

Note: This feature is only available when the input signal connected to the TV is set to RGB444.
