Now before anyone says my tv must be led is not. It's LCD it says so on box and tv and in reviews people have asked if it's led LCD and everyone who has it says it's only LCD. Now iv had this tv before it's the 5500 series and when I had my original it was perfect. Perfect color contrast clarity. It wasn't ever way to dark or there was never any bleed threw at all, all I had to do was turn off active light sensor and it was perfecly bright. Long story short my friend ruined my tv so I had to get another one. When my new one arrived I went threw same set up. Turned off active control. And for some reason this one is extremely dark still. When I watched normal standard definition programs on Netflix on the first tv it was fine. Not spectacular but it wasn't overly dark or grainy or anything like that. When I watch shows now more than half the screen is completely dark most of the time. When someone's on screen in a lightly lit room it casts a shadow over half of there face. I'm also experiencing extreme bleed threw that reaches out almost to the middle of the screen, which also makes the background of every show hd or not kinda grainy. I know LEDs have led edge lit and you can see little bits of light coming out of the corners but this is even worse. Why would my LCD being doing this? LEDs arent even this bad. Please tell me this is fixable
Could it be the active control light sensor that's causing bled threw and extreme darks? Could it be out of place or something? Or maybe one or more of the bulbs in the tv are lose are pressed to closely to the tv? Something's causing this it's not the settings, I have the same settings as my original tv (same exact tv)
