If after watching the scene for 10 minutes you begin to squint, the backlight is too strong. Instead, make your adjustments when room light is at its average for when you watch, and pick a program or movie scene with a lot of white in it, a daylight scene on a snow-covered mountain, for example. Try to avoid making this adjustment while sun is shining directly on the screen, as this will result in an unnaturally high setting.

He did create motion graphics when using the TV as a video table. Pike admits that he used still images for most of his backgrounds when using a TV as a virtual background display. This could be a cool effect, but it’s definitely one to be aware of. The reflection will also show whatever device is placed on top of it. Too much directional light would bounce off the TV's reflective surface and into the camera, spoiling the effect.

Pike’s 55-inch 4K TV did have a highly reflective display, however, and as such, he was forced to consider that when lighting the foreground. From there, Pike was able to bring up a still image as the background and then pinch and zoom to get the right angle for the camera he was shooting. The Roku uses AirPlay to connect to the mobile device and then mirror what the device has on its screen. Opting to go for an LCD TV with a competitive price of around $300, Pike was able to connect the display to his mobile phone and laptop courtesy of the TV’s built-in Roku and his iPhone’s mirroring feature. He used it as a video table and a virtual background display. Caleb Pike, aka DSLR Video Shooter, has done some shooting using a simple 55” HiSense 4K LCD TV.
