In Reply to: Sony XBR910 to dark after Digital Video Essentials DVD posted by Jonthomasdesigns on February 13, 2004 at 12:19:29:

I used the Sound & Vision Home Theater Tune-Up DVD by Ovation on my XBR800 (prior model to your XBR910). This tune-up kit included a tinted mylar sheet that you look thru while adjusting patterns to the correct brightness / color / contrast.

I noticed that some of my discs did appear rather dark but for the most part, I got used to it. On some discs, I like to see more shadow detail so I just use the next 'brighter' preset on my Sony. I do this sometimes too during the day or when the room isn't very dark. The nice thing is, you have several easy-access presets on your Sony to choose from if you just can't stand it being too dark.
