Just curious- every few months I go through VE just to check on my set's calibration(Tosh 57HX81).
I invariably wind up with my brightness level a couple of notches above my contrast level. The set looks good, and things look 'real'.
However, I work for an A/V installation company, and the guys I work with prefer a picture with a much higher contrast setting vs brightness. And almost every manufacturer seems to have video presets that set contrast higher than brightness. To me, these settings seem 'cartoonish', for lack of a better word.
Where do your settings wind up? Currently, I'm at 48 for contrast, 51 for brightness. I have gradually gone up in contrast in the 3 years I've owned the set.
I realize that all sets are different, and my settings don't correspond to others, but I'm mainly curious about the contrast vs brightness issue. Thanks...
