After setting up my new JVC (AV34WP84) pretty much the way I want it I decided, just for a lark mind you, to have a look at the THX video setup thing on the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD. Imagine my suprise on the brigtness setup screen when I couldn't see the THX logo at all, never mind the logo minus drop shadow that you're supposed to see. I ended up having to crank my brightness from like -4 all the way up to 17 to be where they say I am supposed to be! Well, I found that to be high just by eye, never mind by proper calibration.
Now, I know I've always liked to have a darker picture than the average Joe, and I know that I sacrifice some picture detail in dark scenes because of this, but I was really suprised that the "proper" setting was as high as it was.
Anyone have any comment?
