I bought the 50 inch ONN on a Black Friday sale for a wonderful low price. I am mostly satisfied with the performance and have used Roku for a number of years. This ONN TV gave me some thoughts about returning it. My initial "tweaks" resulted in a picture that looked worse than the six year old Visio that it replaced! IMO, one of the most valuable features on a modern TV is the contrast and black levels. The reason why OLED TVs are so popular (and expensive) is the wonderful black levels/contrast. I couldn't get this ONN to look as good as my two older sets! Finding a suggestion in this forum I decided to reset the TV portion and try adjusting the picture again. I had better results the second time. I am looking for comments and suggestions where I might improve the picture even more. Here is a list of my current Picture settings:

TV Brightness - Brighter
Picture mode - Low power
Picture size - Auto (this set won't auto display 4K without coaxing!)
Dynamic contrast - High
Color temperature - Normal
Fine tune picture:
Backlight - 100
Brightness - 40
Contrast - 100
Sharpness - 100 (this setting, surprisingly, does not degrade the picture!)
Color - 50

Please share your experience and any alternative settings which work well for you.

Thanks!

After watching and analyzing the picture I found that setting Dynamic contrast to Off made for a more consistent and satisfying overall picture brightness.

Thank you for this. I did change the Dynamic Contrast to "OFF" though. I get a more consistently better picture that way. Thank you for the tips though.

Thanks for commenting! My settings have changed slightly.

Picture mode - Standard
Dynamic contrast - Off (as previously noted)
Brightness - 50

I purchased a Roku mini sound bar that sits just in front on the set and it makes a noticeable difference. It automatically turns on and off via the CEC function.
