Apple TV darkness

Movies are suddenly playing super dark on our Apple TV. We had this problem with our old Apple TV and then switched the device to our newer generation Apple TV. It seemed to fix the problem. Now the problem is back. The movies play fine on another smart TVs that’s not using an Apple TV. Netflix and Disney plus are both giving the same results. Help!

How to improve display brightness on Apple TV+ 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.

Reset and reconfigure your Apple TV video settings.

Misconfigured HDR may cause incorrect brightness.
