Hey guys and gals!

I was wondering how you feel about - and deal with - really dark tv shows? I’m talking about dark in the context of light emitted, not feelings ;-)

I’m watching See, and while I do appreciate blind people not having a lot of lights turned on at all times, I’m finding it almost unbearable to watch because of how dark it is at times.

I’m having to bump my TV settings up - which is kind of a hassle as I had it really nicely calibrated (damn I love oled by the way) - just to have to turn it back down (and hope to remember those settings) not to get blinded when I watch anything remotely normally illuminated.

I remember this being a topic in the last seasons (or season) of Game of Thrones too - but back then I had an old TV with bad contrast anyway, so I wasn’t hit that hard by it.

How do you feel about too dark tv shows and movies? And how do you deal with it?

    A better TV/monitor, rarely is the scene actually too dark.

      Did you watch Sabrina a few years ago? That was incredibly dark, difficult to see anything

        I haven’t, but neither have I met any morden media content can’t be consumed comfortably with an above 1000nits rated, Dolby certified TV. Maybe I’ll have that movie a go, depending on whether it has a proper reproduction.
