Hi i have motion lighting turned off but whenever a dark scene comes on tv the bightness goes low and as soon as it gets abit bright or white text comes on a black background, the brightness goes high again. Why could this be?

Thank you! My Samsung had gone dark an the brightness slider was right over to 50, but I changed the mode to dynamic after watching your video and now it's fine!

I just got a new Samsung I notice in some of my shows I watch it looks too dark especially night or dark room scenes where on my other tv you can actually see everything clear in dark scenes

Mine Samsung TU8000 have problem with psu and it cause the brightness very low and i can see the image but i need to turn off my room light.

Here the problem: the psu cant power my backlight fully because the psu hold some power and not stable.

How it fix? My local service (its not official from samsung) add 1 little inverter stabilizer and cable for the psu, inverter stabilizer to the backlight.

Now mine is have stable power from the psu to inverter stabilizer to light the backlight.

Our Samsung is only a year old and went darker. Nothing worked. Even factory reset the tv and was dark soon as it came back on. Could barely see to set it up. Pile of junk 😢

My Samsung TV very dark only when I am watching Netflix. Very frustrating. I have TU7000 50in. Just purchased this August/2022

I have a Samsung TV less than a year old it’s a 55 inch 4K smart I was watching TV and the picture went very dark. If you shine a torch on the TV, you can just see the picture. There is sound the TV is working fine just the picture is very dark. Does anyone have any solutions for this issue?.. with the TV being less than a year old maybe an easy fix .. any help would be appreciated

Factory reset the whole tv in the settings sucks because you have to deleted everything but it’s the only thing that would fix my dark picture problem

The OLED is darker because every LED has its own light and can be turned on or off, unlike a LCD / QLED. It gives the deep black, or true black effect that aprently some people like, I'm not one of hem and dont understand how anyone can tolerate that. The answer is to get a QLED TV, not OLED, WITH BACKLIGHT.

My Samsung 55 inch I keep brightening the light and then when it’s turned off it shows really dark again even when I gone through every settings still keeps on going dark again what do I do to make it stay bright just like the way I choose the menu option??

I don't seem to have half the setting on my tv everyone is saying I gotta change its so frustrating. I don't have the power and energy savings or the black light adjustment I can't adjust rgb either I got a 4k tu8000

Just create two modes : "standard" for TV channels (Warm1), and "cinema" for platforms content (Warm2+Contrast enhancer low). Just call it with the vocal assistant to change the mode.
