I'm a TV reviewer and this what I love and hate about Filmmaker Mode

Samsung S95F QD-OLED TV review 2025.

Filmmaker Mode started to appear on televisions around 2020, designed to deliver what's often considered to be the holy grail in cinema - the film as the director intended. After all, it's the director who pulls everything together and presents a movie as a piece of art - surely you want to be watching how it's supposed to be watched?

Well - newsflash - I'm a TV reviewer and I don't like Filmmaker Mode. I appreciate that in the production of every movie a lot of thought goes into the lighting, the contrast and how something is visually presented, which Filmmaker Mode will preserve, but that doesn't always mean that it looks the best on the TV in your front room.
