I know this has been an infuriating topic for a while now, but gosh it's getting on my nerves. I'm trying to watch Secret Level, finally, and I can't see half of what's happening because so many scenes across many of the shorts are pretty much pitch black.

Why?? Why not, y'know, just give us a little bit of fucking contrast? Instead, I have to choose whether to have a light on or to not see the scenes.

have you ever adjusted your TV? sounds to me like it might just need some calibrating.

I guess I've gotta figure this out. It's pretty new and I thought it was supposed to just be able to help with the darkness. But I dunno

It's pretty new

Almost all TVs come with a power saving or eco mode enabled by default which ruins visibility. Find that in the settings and turn it off. You should also turn off motion interpolation (e.g Trumotion, Clear Motion Plus, Motionflow) so motion doesn't become a smeary and artificial mess.

well no, they usually need some calibration to start. every display panel is a little tiny bit different, and the rooms they go into are very different, not to mention the types of media played on them vary. what looks good in one room with one kind of media will look poor in another room with a different kind of media. you just gotta adjust it to find what works for you in your room.

of course I also found it helps to invest in some blackout curtains for when you want to watch a movie. we've got a projector and a dropdown screen that covers a wall, so we use the curtains to make sure it's dark enough in the room for that. but they also help with seeing a screen.
