Why do some movies look dark even though I set it on Brilliant setting?

I have not noticed that. This may seem idiotic, but have you tried a normal setting? My vague rememberance of my naval electronic training was when stymied do the opposite of what you are doing. Good luck! H holcombe

We change our color settings according to the type of source input-some of the older movies have too much contrast, or need to be brighter - so it's an individual preference whether you want to take the time to adjust and make the picture better for your own comfort level. This TV has so many features so you can adjust it to your own preferences.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

you could try going to Menu&gt;Picture&gt;Gaming&gt;More (at bottom for options)&gt;Color Temperature&gt; & change this to what you prefer. Also, maybe just changing the Picture Setting to something other than Gaming. The Picture gets almost 2x as bright when using this option.

Not too sure why this happens. Never experience this. The only reason that I can think off is when it gets dark the images are displayed by the infra red, night vision properties of the camera.

This is an artifact of the digital distortion, like the way that the "black" areas around some flat panel TVs are not really black because of the leakage of light through the pixel layer. The best thing to do is to have a proper screen - one that is highly reflective - and dial the image in to fit the screen perfectly. The highly reflective surface will provide a level of contrast that will make the gray surround far less noticeable.

I believe so. I messed with different lighting modes and could not produce what you are describing.

After a lot of trial and error and Google searching the following are my preferences for settings:Picture Mode: Expert1Contrast (Picture): 90Brightness: 55Color: 45Tint: G5Sharpness: H = 10, V = 10Color Temperature: Warm2Backlight: 85Aspect Ratio: Just ScanMisc: Color Gamut=standard; Gamma = 2.4; Black Level=low; Real Cinema=On; LED Local Dimming = Low; All remaining settings set to Off or 0. Finally, I forget exactly what the option is called, but whatever the option is for smooth motion, set it to "off". If it is set to "on" then you can never get the voice and picture to sync correctly when playing a DVD.

it's hard To Explain... When You Turn It On Its On The Brightest Setting, But If You Press The On Button Wighin A Few Seconds, Then That's When The other Settings Come In To Play. If I Turn It On And Off, And Then A Few Minutes Later Turn It ON again, It Goes To TheFirst Setting Which It The Bright Setting.

I'm not sure I'm the best one to answer that question as I'm not a big follower on what is technically "right", rather I go on what I find visually appealing. That said, I can't find any fault in it. Black looks very black to me, not washed out at all. Movies look like they should and gaming is very sharp.

It works very well but it is a bit dark so I have to set my screen on the brightest setting.

No I have not seen that issue even up close. I have although done some messing around with the picture settings and by no means am I an expert. I would try some different settings or return it for a new one because of the price we have all had to pay for it. It could have even been damaged during shipping or not have set long enough before it was turned on the first time. I have the exact tv and the blacks are deep blacks and the whites are true as well as grey and all other colors. I let mine sit for eight hours after it was mounted on the tv stand before I turned it on for the first time.

I have not found any settings yet for that but do not notice it very much or at all now. The screen looks so rich from all angles that I decided the keep the set since its one of best looking screens I have seen at this price range. I almost sent it back as other have noticed them as well, but at the end of the day I kept the set. If someone knows how to fix the issue post it here.
