AppleTV Watching the dark scenes especially on any content in AppleTV app on my 4K AppleTV is much darker than the same dark scenes on my Playstation 5 running AppleTV app? The outputs from both AppleTV and Playstation 5 are 4K HDMI into a Samsung 4K display. My educated guess is that the HDMI outputs are not the same. Shouldn't the same movie for example, look the same regardless of whether they go through the AppleTV or Playstation 5? If not, why not? Thanks.

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.

Hey there Running711,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities about this issue with Apple TV movies. Is this happening with all movies in multiple apps? You may want to consider using the the Display Accommodations to help with this. You can read more about how to use these here:

Take care.
