Analogue Text Brightness On LG LCD TV
I recently purchased an LG 32LC56 LCD tv. When the analogue contrast is set as we like it, the analogue text is far too bright for our liking.
Does anyone know if there's any way to adjust the analogue text brightness independently of the analogue picture contrast? (I know, I know, watch programmes on digital and only use analogue for text - that's what we're doing now but it would still be nice to find a better solution if possible)Thanks for any help, John |

Looking in the service menu of my 22" LG TV/Monitor (22LS4R) I can't see any text brightness option.

No, nor me. I was wondering if there might be some secret engineering mode which allowed it to be set.

My 32LC56 keeps adjusting the brightness on its own, whenever the image itself is white, the brightness goes up noticeable and then goes back to normal when the white scene is over. Watching a skiing programme is impossible, I end up with a headache.
I assume this is the intelligent eye being too 'intelligent'. I am wondering of there is an option in the service menu to turn this off? |

Try disabling all the XD image processing gimmicks. That improved the picture quality as we like it enormously. Since picture quality is subjective, the only rule with all these settings is to have them as you like them. Some people may prefer XD enabled and that is their decision. Even having done that, we also feel that light scenes are too light and dark scenes are too dark. This might be the gimmicky way that television directors like to shoot programmes these days, or perhaps it's a fundamental failing in the way all LCD televisions work, or perhaps just LG LCD televisions - or maybe the LCD display is merely showing up more deficiencies in the source material, especially in modern stuff which often has the appearance of being slung together cheaply with no proper lighting and camera alignment beforehand.
