Can anyone explain why my Samsung s95b oled TV film maker mode is so dark?
I'm a parent with young kids and I just do not have time to delve into all the settings. I've managed to stop films looking like soap operas but I'm not sure exactly what I've adjusted.
Also, if I'm watching from my pc on the same TV using VLC player is it a mistake just to leave the TV on "game mode" ? This seems to work fine, but I've no idea how that interacts with settings on the TV.
One last rant, it seems to have a setting that uses a light sensor to darken the picture if the room is dark. It seems to be nearly impossible to turn off except through some service menu nonsense I really don't want to touch. The only temp fix is turning the TV on and off again, which I've resorted to when I literally couldn't see what was going on in the film.
What TV model do you have?
I just tried Filmmaker mode on my Samsung S95B and, like you, I find it very dark. Another flaw of this TV is that if the edges of the screen darken (like the borders in widescreen movies), the entire panel goes dark.

I didn't know about the other bug. I wonder if that is actually what I'm seeing rather than the dark room thing I'm talking about.
