Is Food Network crushing their brightness/dynamic range?

[spidey07]

This is sickening. It's fairly recent. Yeah, I watch foodTV...I actually am a better cook because of it.

The prime time shows are now so sickeningly bright that the difference between black and white is almost non-exsistant.

WTF!!!!

I understand you want those highlights and glistening food, but when the chefs apron blends into a white blob and there is nothing but noise at anything below means you are pushing it too far.

It's no use, spidey. They just don't understand wtf you're talking about. Not many care as much as we do.

So it's not just me then. This move by foodnetwork is really, really bad. I had to re-adjust my display severely just to make it watchable. Then they cut to another show and re-adjust again.

It's the damned producers of the content I tells ya. "yeah! push it, it's ultra-bright! WOW! That really "pops!", they'll eat it up, look at what we did to the CD!"

If foodnetwork is offering a HD version, who do I complain to? I'm fricking pissed. That color and contrast I would like to have to actually learn something is gone.

I digress. My bad for actually trying to learn something.

Yep. It was VERY apparent on food TV. There was the main prime-time program that had a blindingly/clipping white with a black level that was 65% gray.

this is coming from the source, not the display.

I have left my display at the same settings as I did Emeril. It's way too dark but at least the range is there and I can enjoy it. When I say "it's way too dark" I mean I had to overdrive the snot out of my display just to get a watchable picture on the show before it, now you go back to a presentable range. It was nasty.

Unfortunately, I fear you may have missed the sarcasm.

yeah, sometimes that meter is broken. But I took it hook, line and sinker.
