“Just purchased this TV 4 days ago. Pretty good sound, but the picture is still dark, no matter the mode we put it on. Vibrant is the better picture of the lot, but the background is still quite dark. Any suggestions?”

I've spent the last 4 days since I bought it figuring out the best settings. I finally got it right. Put the Backlight setting up full then lower the Brightness and Contrast to taste. I finally got it looking good. You have to play with the settings a lot. You can see them and the TV picture at the same time, so you can really tweak it to your liking. It does take a lot of trials, but good luck.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would recommend AGAINST setting the backlight to maximum brightness. My son had a Sharp TV, with the backlight running at max level. The backlight went dark after 4 years. I run the backlight on all of my TVs at 80% or less. My 50" Insignia TV has been running fine for over 10 years. It is still as bright as it was when it was new. If the backlight array is adequately heat-sinked, the level may not be that important. But how do you know how well the backlight is engineered? I view turning down the backlight as free insurance. Even when set to 80% the picture is bright enough, unless the sun comes through the window and hits the screen.
