Apple + is way too dark. Dark scenes are black. My tv is not the issue. It does not matter which tv I use, my Visio, my Samsung and my LG plus my iPad each have been adjusted for settings, but the Apple + shows are very dark. Sometimes II change settings several times throughout a show just to be able to barely see what is on the screen. The new Star Wars shows are so dark they can’t be lightened, they just look grey and brown and black. i have tried everything my TVs can offer. There is no “video and audio” setting in the app, like another person said to click on. There is a “video troubleshooting” where the app does something then says OK. it’s so distressing.

Apple TV App Brightness I have a question about the Apple TV app on my computer. The video brightness is very dark at times, I believe due to natural lighting. This can sometimes make the screen contrast to dark for comfort. Is there anyway to fix this?

Try setting the contrast back to ‘normal’ (default), if the setting is not default.
