The only was you could have that option on an 850e is if you somehow ended up with incorrect software or something else weird like getting a 900e in an 850 case. My set does not have that option, and the 850e models don't have that feature either. The lowest level Sony tv that has local dimming is the 900 series, since it's basically meant as the feature to try to get you to step up to the next model and pay more. The local dimming requires some sort of software algorithm to run it, and the 850 firmware simply wouldn't include it, or maybe it would, but there would be no way to activate it. The 900e (and now 900f) is a full-array TV instead of edge-lit like the 850e, so even if you somehow could activate it, I don't have any idea what it could actually do, since there are no sections of LEDs in the back of the set to dim. The only other edge-lit TV that Sony has that has local dimming is the 930e, but it is lit from both the top and bottom and the local dimming is thanks to a very complicated and unique software algorithm that actively directs the light to different parts of the screen, basically simulating (very effectively) what a full-array local dimming set does. Assuming you have a regular 850e that's lit from the bottom, even if you could somehow enable local dimming, I don't think there is anything it could do. Anyways, sorry for the long-winded response, but local dimming is definitely not a feature of the 850e, and the option should not even appear in the menus, because Sony doesn't include menu options for feature not available on the TV. Maybe you got lucky and ended up with something better! :D
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can check ours but not sure why it would appear on this model since it doesn't have local dimming
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Auto local dimming determines the correct level of brightness according to the ambient light (level of light in the room). I don't know if you can shut it off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes I use it better picture in lighted room
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
