I was suggesting that you reduce the contrast and up the brightness just a tad … but yes experimenting with settings is vital, as most TVs come out of the box with the most retina blowing pre-sets … colours so high they almost bleed into each other and contrast set so high that everything looks like a 1990s Tony Scott film … a stylish trend which thankfully didn’t last long.

PS: My first comment was misleading regarding my contrast setting … I was suggesting that BDs themselves were using too much contrast - Sorry about that confusion.

No problem at all, and thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely play around with the settings a bit more – your advice is much appreciated.

If you TV has “filmmaker mode” switch that on

If you stick your TV model into Google with ‘best settings’ afterwards there are lots of websites/forums full of TV nerds who have figured out optimal settings for lots of models. Worth having a browse!
