calibrate your TV with Netflix

Netflix has a range of hidden test screens which let you calibrate your TV display, but enabling them really isn't obvious.

How to use Netflix to adjust your TV's picture quality 

1. Sign into Netflix
2. Select a chart
3. Add it to your list
4. Launch Netflix on a TV
5. Play the test pattern
6. Hone your display calibration

Visit https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80018499 in a web browser and sign into your Netflix account. When you select your profile, the test patterns developed for Netflix will be available.

Next, select a Season using the dropdown menu and select the Multipurpose Chart which matches your TV's resolution and refresh rate. In this example, we will be using Season 2: Episode 8, which is for a 1080p (Full HD) 60 fps (equivalent to a 60 Hz) television.

Now simply click the + icon to add the test pattern to your list.

Now, launch the Netflix app on your television and go to the My List section. There you will find the test pattern is listed, allowing you to play the pattern on your TV when you open the app there.

You can now begin to alter the settings of your television, adjusting for brightness, contrast, color saturation and sharpness.
