Default "True Black" is too black.. LCD and Plasma! anybody agree?

So here is what I've noticed... after several months of going to stores and playing with settings ona variety of TVs... comparing both LCDs and Plasmas. Just making sure the money I spent is exactly what I want...

Here is what I've noticed... for Plasmas and LCDs with local LED dimming... when you get the brightness set so that "black" areas of the screen are "Black"... it's so dark in the dark areas that you completely lose all the detail of the black area... Yes Plasma TVs too!

Let me further explain... You see a man in a black suit, with black hair, in a less than half-lit scene (in a car, or a dark room...). When the black areas are at that level of "True Black", you cannot see the small details anymore... you cannot see lapels on the suit, the hair on the person's head, or the legs under the table in the background.... (just examples)... But if you brighten the scene up enough to see the detail of those items (because they are supposed to be seen), then there is a light fuzzy "snow" effect (making it more like grey)... Although it is very light on Plasmas and Local dimming LEDs... it's still annoying.

Am I the only one this picky?? Or are there other people seeing the same thing??
