I notice this more on the older programs that come up on streaming. Is there anything I can do to lighten my site. I tried searching, but found nothing.

Last week I visited a friend who had the same problem but didn’t even realize it. Using her remote control, we went to Settings, then to some option that was set on Standard, and we had a couple other options for Movies or something like that. We clicked on one, went back to the main screen, and it wasn’t dark anymore. This is better than just using the Brightness setting, as it adjusted several other settings with one push of the button. We had tried just adjusting the brightness, but this was much better. Be careful about just moving sliders for Brightness, Balance, different colors, etc. you aren’t as likely to figure out the right setting that way.
A few years ago Consumer Reports had available online the correct setting for best results for every television they tested. The settings were quite picky, like 63 for this color and 48 for that, but the results were excellent. I guess there is an ideal setting for each model.
