Even while playing them on most modern high-definition displays, old videos appear blurry or pixelated. This is because older videos are often copied several times, and each time they are copied, they lose quality because of lossy compression. That’s where the Opera browser Lucid Mode comes into the picture. It improves the video quality by bringing them sharply into focus.
How to enable and use Opera browser Lucid Mode
Lucid mode in Opera is a video and image enhancement feature that, upon activation, adds sharpness and clarity to the content on the screen so that we enjoy it in the manner we want. If you are feeling embarrassed with the blurry quality of your favorite Internet content, switch to Opera browser Lucid mode.
Launch the Opera browser. If you don’t have it, download and install it first.
Next, click the Easy Setup button visible in the upper-right corner of the browser window.
In a panel that opens, scroll down to the Lucid Mode section. It’s disabled by default. To enable it, simply toggle on the switch next to the following options:
- Sharpen videos on all sites
- Sharpen images on all sites
You can activate the same feature with a single click. Just open YouTube, TikTok or an Instagram video and you should see a floating Lucid mode button. Just click the button to turn On Lucid Mode.
You’ll start seeing all the objects in images and videos in sharp focus. Enjoy content in comfort and relaxation.
After 30 minutes of watching a video on YouTube, I found Lucid Mode adds a sparkle of sharpness and clarity to the content.
It’s no brainer. Most of the users will stop watching a low-quality video just after a couple of minutes because of the frustration that poor quality resolution might bring. Lucid mode overcomes this frustration and gives users a unique solution to relive some of their most cherished memories in high-definition and experience a better version of the web. We think you’ll surely benefit from being able to see older videos in a brighter and clearer format.
