My whites (as in watching hockey and the ice is way to brilliant white) are too intense. How can I tone it down as in through the service menu?

You don't need the service menu. That's what the contrast control is for. Turn your contrast down.

I tried that but unless it is kept at a certain level (85 minimum) the blacks are awlful.


I reset my settings for the service menu and went back to factory settngs. It helped a little bit but still not quite right.

Wow I just had a feeling of Deja Vu.

What model of TV is this.?

Contrast control sets the white level, brightness control sets the black level.

Thank you for the explanation and link.


Sounds like I may need to get it calibrated.
