before I start the investigation! - Blu-ray Forum

nothing.sound · 06-24-2009, 11:03 PM

Was watching friday the 13th the other night and every time it changed scenes the black levels changed pretty drastically. Going brighter every time. I have a ps3 hooked up via HDMI to a sony 52kdlv4100.

I know there is a setting on this t.v. that you can turn on to adjust the picture based on light output, but I triple checked and the feature isn't even on. I titled this "before I start investigating" because I just haven't had time to really try to find the cause of the problem. I want to say that this is the only disc I've seen it happen on but i swear I even noticed it happening on an entirely different set-up, up stairs with other movies.

Any thoughts on this before I can investigate further this weekend. Thanks

sony lcd's backlight will adjust to the amount of black on the screen. If their is a lot of dark scenes the back light will auto dim to produce a deeper black. This option is not able to be turned off. I see every once in a while when the credits start rolling at the end of the movie. And it has nothing to do with how much ambient light is in the room. Hope this helps.
