How do I adjust the settings on the projector to make the darker scenes more visible? Almost unwatchable when the picture includes a dark scene.

It is hard and disappointing, this is biggest flaw of this projector. The way I improved this problem was through the menu of the DVD/Blueray, experimenting with the setting of brightness and contrast, display resolution. I tried every combination with the projector menu with no success.

Did not find anything.. Just found that dark scenes are seen a little better from "user1" mode

I changed the color setting on my blu-ray and the difference was hugely significant!!!!!. My cable DVR does not let me change color settings, so my cable movie dark scenes are still pretty terrible

i just got my 8000 series yesterday. We watched a scifi blu ray last night and I am thinking I am going to return this. The backlighting comes out of the corners and was not something my family paid much attention to, but I clearly noticed it. On very dark seens, the spotlight casting comes from the middle and corners of both the top and bottom. A bit frustrating...

Picture is super clear and bright. Could be brighter and looks much better in a darker room. Any connection can go to this. But what you asking is just about the mount the projector itself is separate

I just tried it outside of a dirty window at night and it looked great. I imagine it would look pretty good if it were clean too. You just have to remember to set the projector for rear projection so the image will appear correct from outside.

wish i knew, i cant seem to find the sweet spot either, i read the reviews and set it to what some other guy had, and it looked bad on my set, i noticed when i switched from componet to hdmi, the color changed , somehow, not sure what the best settings are

When I go to the Brightness menu I can drag the "ball" on the line from side to side to adjust the brightness. I hope that helps.

I go into Menu, Picture, Picture Settings, then you have to adjust the color and tint to get it right where you want it. I have my Contrast and Backlight at 100, Dynalight is on, Brightness at 50, Color at 70, Tint at 0, and sharpness at 14. Hope that helps

There is a grey screw with a Phillips head that you turn to either adjust up or down on the projector. Hope it helps.

Maybe try re-installing? Also note, this is a projection TV....not best visibility in direct sunlight. Mine is often dark in my bright living room during daytime hours.

Out of the box, the TV settings are "vivid". At the very least you'll want to set it to "standard" under picture settings/picture mode. This wont fix the black problem by itself, but then under advanced settings there are a couple of adjustments that will, namely "gamma" and "black corrector". Play with these a bit and you'll get better black detail. If you'd like a full listing of user calibration settings for viewing in a darkened room, here is a link that will give you those presets. Try them, and if you like it, you're done! Otherwise, play around a bit with the settings I mentioned to achieve the desired results. Here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10060430-1.html?tag=mncol;txt I hope you find this helpful, I'm using these settings myself and am pretty happy with the results. Be warned, however, once you reveal black detail, you may notice unevenness in the black uniformity of the screen. Good Luck!

I use the full resolution 1280x800. I use a white projection screen and the picture is pretty good. I have a custom 90" screen that I built from white blackout cloth. If you go big you must have a super dark room. We can still watch sports with the lights on, but it is a bit washed out, but in complete darkness the projector is superb.

There is an big issue with compatibility with certain Bluray Players: it seems to me that on a lot of them, you don't have shadow detail. My cheap Toshiba Bluray player was exactly like this. Sadly there is no way to fix it. there are no settings to change it. The only thing that works 100% sure is use a laptop or PC to power it. But this has nothing to do with the projector itself, just some confusion on the basis of HDMI and how bluray player and projector don't seem to work together as they should.

there is a shadow adjust setting. you can find this on the screen menu but anything more you have to go to the instruction book and god only knows where that is now.
