    I have only been recently collecting 4k blu rays, one thing I can't bear is HDR or Dolby Vision because the contract between light and dark is so strong it gives me headaches so I have turn all that off. However I am noticing that a large collection of 4ks are appearing a tad dark especially the facial tones when compared to their blu ray counterparts. I must've played around with my tv and player settings to death to try and get the possible output but does anyone know what I can do to remedy this? Or is this just how 4ks look? Does anyone else experience this?

  2. 4K UHD discs often appear darker due to HDR technology's complex mastering process.
    This is caused by wider dynamic range, display limitations, and inconsistent studio approaches.
    The darker appearance stems from emphasizing contrast and peak brightness levels.

    Solutions include:
    - Adjusting TV settings
    - Experimenting with player configurations
    - Potentially disabling HDR
    - Considering professional display calibration

    Turning off HDR can restore brightness closer to standard Blu-ray levels, which might help
    with your headache concerns.
    There is nothing wrong .. with my environment

    Thank you but I think I have found the solution. Luckily I have a panasonic 4k tv that gives me the option to increase Dark Visibility Enhancer it has done the trick.
