4K Darkness

Hi everyone. Do any of you happen to know why the 4K channels on DTV are so dark? Is there anything I can do? All of my other channels are fine. I have a Samsung 4K TV...is there perhaps a setting on there that I need to adjust for a brighter 4K experience? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Interesting, but yes you should be able to adjust the brightness on the Samsung TV being that it is a dedicated 4K model. If there is no setting for 4K brightness or 4K experience, try looking for just the brightness on the TV. When you want to watch that specific channel, just put the brightness up a bit on the TV for a better 4K experience.

Try changing the "HDR" (High Dynamic Range) setting on your 4K TV.
