This was more common with older TV sets, though. Even turning the sharpness control to zero and going through every setting (and picture preset) in your TV, you still may see edge enhancement or other processing. It's possible, though rare, that you have a TV with permanent edge enhancement. There's a sweet spot with any TV, it's just a matter of finding it.Ī setup disc, like the Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark, has patterns that will make it easier to find the exact sharpness level for your specific TV. If the image suddenly looks blurry, that's definitely too low. This might be done to offer a way to decrease the noise in lower-quality sources, but I'd be shocked if it's ever used for that purpose. Some TVs actively soften the image when you turn the sharpness control to zero (or even below 50 in some cases).

Ideally, you'll be able to find the spot that offers the most actual detail and the least additional noise. Does the fine detail disappear? If so, that's too low. Want to fine-tune it? While watching a variety of content, especially 4K if you have a 4K TV, turn the control down from that starting point and see what happens. Whatever that number is, it's a good place to start.

The easiest way to check is to switch your TV to the Movie or Cinema picture preset, and see where the sharpness control is in that mode. While unenhanced images can look soft by comparison, especially at first, they're actually more detailed because they show fine textures in walls, pores on faces and tiny hairs - all of which can be hidden by too much edge enhancement. Most TVs have their sharpness controls turned up in the default picture modes, so we're used to this faux-detail look. See how much cleaner the left image looks compared to the enhanced.Įdge enhancement definitely gives the image a certain look: It can provide the appearance of more detail. Additionally, it often brings out grainy noise in other parts of the image. It may not seem like a big deal in this image, but with most content that halo is covering the actual detail. "Turn Down for What?" is currently available on iTunes.The problem is that the halo shouldn't be there - and it's replacing what should be. It's amazing, because that's what I've been doing all my career: just getting people amped up and hyped up." A lot of people tweet me like, "I was almost through my workout, 'Turn Down for What' came on, and it made me go even harder at the gym." I pitched the song to be used for a basketball team like the Miami Heat. "This song is the type of song that gets you motivated to do anything. In an interview with Spin, Lil' John had this to say: I knew Jon was one of the best to do it when it comes to hooks, but he absolutely killed it on this joint." What he sent me back, though, absolutely blew my mind. "When I hit up the big homie Jon and asked him if he wanted to be on the track, he heard the beat and was instantly down with the vision. In a press release, DJ Snake talked about how the song came together: The beat was originally created by DJ Snake with a sample from a Redman song, but Lil Jon came up with the "Turn Down for What" hook himself and put his signature crunk production style to the song. The unlikely collaboration between France's DJ Snake and Atlanta's Lil Jon came about last year. This pretty much captures the essence of the video. At one point, a policeman's face melts off. This raging party is completely unstoppable. This leads to twerking, motorboating, and some of the most ridiculous dancing that you will ever see.
Sweatpants leave little to the imagination, as the main character humps pretty much everything in sight during a rampage of destruction. Sexual energy is taken to a ridiculous level here. Watch the official music video above, via YouTube. It's like "Harlem Shake" on steroids, the way it builds up and then drops out. DJ Snake and Lil Jon have teamed up for "Turn Down for What" - a hard electronic jam with gigantic bass and super fast snare / hi-hat sections that could come from a trap song. Without a doubt, this is one of the most ridiculous music videos in recent memory.
