Can one brighten the image if it is too dark. On some decks the bright is self-adjusting & is not enough. LEB

Yes: there is an 'options' access for LCD mode that allows you to adjust the contrast and hue and colour

Hi LanceB, you can adjust the LCD screen's brightness and contrast. -Vincent

I don't think so. It's a problem for me, too. I just keep a dark cloth across the front. It's a shame; I do wish there was a way to dim it.

The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker. I had to add landscaping lights (bright ones) outside in order to see what the dogs were up to when I have them out back after the sun went down. I also have to turn the lights off inside as well to check on them without going outside. Not a complaint, but trying to give you an idea.Its not really mirror like except when light hits it just right. It does act as a really good privacy tint though and actually looks pretty good if its applied with no bubbles. You can't see inside from outside from more than a few feet unless it is brighter inside than out. (Nighttime with lights on inside) The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker.

The picture size you describe would not be covered by this light. Perhaps you could use 2 lights if you want, that would cover it.

I haven't used the TMax in a while but you should be able to go into the "settings" screen and brighten the screen from there. Either through a display setting or look for a slide tab for screen brightness.

It can see in less light than my eyes can, so I say yes. I don't know what wavelength illuminator you would need to brighten the picture, but near-infrared should work.

Its not too bright. It has two settings which differ slightly so you can always dim it a bit.

That is something that would most likely be in your TV's menu. Try finding the menu button on your TV remote, then find the picture setting. There should be an option to decrease brightness in there.

I was NOT able to use the brightness control to effect the range. In fact the brightness control seems to ONLY work with single colors and I wasnt able to brighten/dim outside of the single colors.

I tried to light 24"x30" photo of my grandson with 2 of my flutes light and it had too many shadows.You might do better with a fluorescent light. I think you would get better results with a small fluorescent light.

We're extremely happy with our 60" plasma value ($740 after shipping/tax), however, we had to place it in a dark room where we could view the superior images. The reflectiveness of the glare can't be overstated. It would be difficult to get used to, if at all.

There is an option called CATS, turn it off {menu-->Picture, scroll down to C.A.T.S.} When set on it adjusts the screens brightness according to the ambient light

Did you adjust the side to the desired shade level? if you leave it on 5 (grind) it won't darken

Yes-you can adjust the brightness level of the display. Refer to the instruction booklet, which is a bit dense, but this adjustment is in there.

It is a continuous light source. It is probably not bright enough to give you any kind of artistic reflection.

I don't use dark field viewing as a technique myself, but I have used it years ago in college. I don't think the light source is bright enough for dark field viewing. Sorry I can't be of more help.

That happens sometimes. Hit shift (2nd) and the arrow up to increase the brightness. Keep doing that until you can see the numbers.
