If you want to know what a Filmmaker mode is and how to turn it on on your TV, then read the following guide.
What is Filmmaker Mode on LG TV and Why You Should Use it?
Filmmaker mode is a unique feature specifically designed for viewers to experience a movie’s originality. With this setting, you can stream your favorite movie with the original picture format, color code, and aspect ratio on your LG TV. However, with the Filmmaker mode turned on, the picture modes you previously used on your TV will revert back to the default.
Meanwhile, the Filmmaker mode supports Blu-Ray or 4K and other high-resolution video.
LG TV Tip! Filmmaker mode reduces the brightness and makes the display of LG TV too dark. Therefore, we recommend you watch your TV in a darker room for better visibility.
