What is Real Cinema on LG TV and How Does it Work?

Real Cinema is a picture mode that when turned on applies about 1nm of nanoparticles to filter out the impurities in colors. Also, it will make the colors pop to deliver real cinematic visuals with true colors on the TV screen.

If you turn on Real Cinema mode, it will automatically balance the colors, lower the brightness, and increase the warmth of the picture. This feature is highly suitable for dark rooms so that you can watch movies that are shot at 24 fps.

Note: You can enable Eye Comfort Mode on LG TV to auto-adjust color temperature which gives protection against eyestrain.

For older LG TVs, go to Settings > Picture > Picture Mode Settings > Picture Options > Real Cinema > Turn On or Off Real Cinema.
