mine in the same way, drives me nuts.
I am having some trouble with the black levels on my tv. At the recommended settings provided the shadows are jet black also if someone is wearing black it looks like their body is missing.When I increase the brightness, say from 52 to 60, the whole picture seems to become brighter or kinda grayed out. Is there any recommendations to try? I can't afford to have it professionally calibrated or I would. Please
