Need help with my tv picture settings

by Hotcrossbuns42

I have a Sony tv and when I’m watching tv or playing a game the picture is perfect, but when I watch a streaming service, like Hulu, Netflix, or Disney plus, it seems as if the tv attempts to brighten up the darker areas and it leads to the darker parts of the movie being almost too dark/whitewashed to see. I’ve poked around in the tv and in-app settings and I haven’t been able to find anything that fixes or reduces my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your tv needs to be calibrated.

It's probably not bright enough for HDR to look "proper" and is overcompensating in other ways.

Turn on some HDR tuning guide, and get your blacks looking perfect and try the scene you're having issues with again.

Probably the auto contrast or auto black levels setting. Just turn both off while having an app open.

Maybe you can try changing the scene settings in the menu OPTIONS Select [Scene Select].

When you select the desired scene option, the optimum picture and sound quality for selected scene are automatically set.
