The White Buffalo Hogtied Revisited Rapidshare. Whether you're still figuring out or you've already made your choice from the, in order to get the best TV picture you need to take some care when it comes to set-up. Setting up your TV is best done when you first install a new set, not least getting it in the right position and at the right viewing distance. Finer adjustments to the picture can be done at any time, and can make the world of difference to your picture compared to the out-of-the-box settings. Our guide will take you through the process of positioning your TV correctly to plugging in your various sources and getting your TV connected to the internet, before tackling the all-important adjustments to brightness, contrast, motion processing and more - all of which will ensure you get the best possible picture.

Putting your TV in the right position, and not just next to the nearest plug socket, is one of the easiest things you can do to make sure your TV looks its best. For a start, you’ll want to make sure as many seating positions as possible are viewing the TV straight on. From an angle, colours and black levels can start to look washed-out - particularly if you're watching an LCD TV. This is much less of an issue with OLED screens as the picture doesn't lose as much of its vibrancy when viewed from an angle, but we'd still try to sit straight-on to enjoy the full picture. A pivoting TV stand can help with this, if the size or shape of your room makes it tricky. You’ll also want to consider reflections: most windows will have curtains or blinds you can close and, of course, lights can be switched off - but a dark room can also add to eye strain during long movie sessions. For ambient lighting that won’t cause a distraction, consider placing lamps or lighting behind your TV.

This is sometimes known as ‘bias lighting’. The screen should be at eye level when you’re seated, so invest in a decent TV stand that can accommodate any other kit you have, such as a cable box, Blu-ray player or soundbar. Don’t forget this rule still stands if you choose to wall mount your TV. Avoid the trend of placing it above a fireplace if you can, or it’ll be like sitting in the first row of the cinema. If you must place it higher than eye level, make sure you angle it downwards to make viewing more comfortable. Recommendations vary on how far away from your TV you should sit - it depends on the screen size, as well as the resolution of your TV. A rough guideline for Full HD TVs is between 1.5 and 2.5 times the diagonal size of the screen.
