AMAZON Fire TV users can upgrade their viewing experience in just a few easy steps.
The manufacturer has outlined four ways to improve picture quality, ensuring you can enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows to the fullest.
If you’re experiencing issues like blurry images and lines on the screen, simply restart your device.
Begin by checking that your Fire TV Smart TV software is up to date, as this can prevent bugs.
Go to Settings on your Fire TV and select My Fire TV or Device & Software.
Select About, followed by Check for System Update.
Once you’ve ensured you’re running the latest software, you can restart the device.
Go back to Settings and select My Fire TV or Device & Software, followed by Restart.
Your Smart TV will turn off and back on again, which may resolve picture issues.
You can also give your TV a boost by altering the picture settings.
Hold the Home or Settings button on your Fire TV remote until the Quick Settings menu appears.
Select Picture, then Picture Mode. You can experiment with modes like Vivid, Standard, Movie Bright, and Movie Dark.
Movie mode is generally best for most situations except bright rooms.
Vivid is geared towards TVs on display in a showroom, so it is generally not recommended for consumers.
Individual picture settings will also affect the image, so it is worth playing around with these.
Navigate to the Quick Settings menu and select Picture.
You can toggle the sliders to achieve optimal viewing settings and alter features like color and brightness.
Of course, no changes are permanent – Picture Reset will return the settings to their starting point for a specific picture mode.
As a last resort, you can reset your Fire TV Smart TV to try to fix any picture quality issues.
Head to Settings and select My Fire TV or Device & Software, followed by Reset to Factory Defaults.
Doing so will erase all your data and preferences, so only perform this step if necessary.
