LG Smart TV update will feature the new ‘Filmmaker Mode’ viewing experience
Starting this week LG begins rolling out a Smart TV update featuring ‘Filmmaker Mode’; this mode was designed to preserve the visual intent of the content creator, bringing the home viewing experience as close as possible to that of an actual theatrical release. Movies and series on Prime Video are embedded with a signal that automatically triggers Filmmaker Mode. This feature update will be available for all LG 2020 and 2021 4K and 8K UHD Smart TVs running webOS 5.0 and webOS 6.0.1.
While picture processing features such as motion smoothing and image sharpening are ideal for most forms of content including sports and TV shows, they can sometimes make feature films look a little too smooth and overly processed. Filmmaker Mode automatically turns off any picture processing settings that can make movies feel somewhat unnatural and cause them to display differently to how their directors would want while also maintaining the film’s original aspect ratio, colors and frame rate for a more authentic experience. Combined with the deepest blacks, enhanced contrast and vibrant colors of LG’s advanced TVs, viewers will get to experience unparalleled depth and realism through Prime Video’s vast selection of movies and series.
