I don't see how that's the TV struggling. The TV is being true to the input. Blame the source.
Many TVs and set-top boxes have gain control / compression in one way or another. Even some older models.
- crtasm 4mo agoIsn't that what they're referring to in the next sentence? >built‑in “volume leveling”
- cassianoleal 4mo agoProbably a variation of it, yes. My point is that TVs are not bad at dealing with it. Some have the feature built-in and generally work, some don't. My point is that this is not a problem of the TV set - it's of the broadcasters, the film makers, etc.
