I find it interesting how alot of (not all) network HD programs look a little on the dark side, like their purposely turning the brightness levels down. Artistic reasons perhaps?
The most recent glaring example I found was earlier tonight when I was flipping through all my HD channels just to see what was on. I came across "Gilmore Girls" and almost had to squint just to see what was going on. Granted, it was a dimly lit evening scene indoors, but jeez, it doesn't have to be that dark.
FWIW, my set is calibrated correctly and when I flip to D*'s HD channels, they look fine. Heck, not even all the network shows look dark, but it's strange to me just how many of them do.
A great example of the opposite of this, however, is George Lopez's show, and the UPN show "Kevin Hill". These shows look absolutely brilliant with none of the low brightness issues.
