On A Tv, Is The Higher The Contrast, The Higher

it "seems" fine, but it ain't.

When I say fine, I mean, the color looks more alive, more vibrant, more like you're watching something on film...Just not so dark, if you know what I mean.

When I started taking the contrast down a few notches, the color became more dull.

Actually, there is supposed to be a way to tell if the contrast is right.

If the contrast is too high or too low, then adjusting the brightness will alter the colours in relation to each other. In other words a red in a shadow area will look a different shade to the same red in a brightly lit area. The only way to really check this is by looking at a test card, but I don't know anyone who transmits them these days.

But if it is somewhere near the right setting you may not notice the difference, in which case slight variances are purely a matter of personal preference.
