MasterYoda Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 There's one thing that annoys me about my HDTV, so I searched these forums for a Samsung HDTV thread and here's what I found: one thing that might annoy u, is that it auto dimms when ever there is a dark scene and auto brights up when there is a light scene annoying at first but u get used to it That's my problem. You can turn that off in the menu on mine. Not sure about the newer models. There are auto volume and auto brightness options you can turn off. The auto volume option can be turned off on my TV, but I don't see a auto brightness option. Blue_Ninja0 posted this in that same thread: I can do that on my TV, but i have to enter the code to get to the service menu. The option is not on the normal menu. So what is the code? The TV I have is Samsung LE27S71B. It's pretty annoying, so if anyone knows how to turn auto brightness off, please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Its the backlight. It decreases brightness as a cheap way to increase the detail in black areas, turning the auto-adjust off will lessen the detail in dark areas of the screen. Not sure about you're specific set but i think you just need to follow these steps: 1. Put the TV on standby... 2. Then press info-menu-mute-power, one after the other and the service menu appears. 3. If you go into option 2, you can turn off 'Dynamic dimming' is, that annoying habit the TV has of changing the brightness of the backlight during programmes. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE IN THE SERVICE MENU. CHANGING THE WRONG SETTING COULD MESS YOU'RE TV UP BADLY AND YOU'D NEED AN ENGINEER OUT TO FIX IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterYoda Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I tried pressing info-menu-mute-power but the service menu won't appear? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when I press Info when the TV is on, nothing happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You're TV have movie mode? Apparantly that switches it off. Other than that the only solution i can think of is to try borrowing someone elses remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterYoda Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 When I go to Mode, Dynamic, Standard and Movie are all grayed so I can't select any of them, only Custom. I guess my TV doesn't support info and all the other buttons arround it like PIP, TTX/MIX, P. Mode, S. Mode,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohdoh Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 hello, i have purchased a Samsung LE-37S71 and that dimming thing really pisses me off. Whenever a scene is dark whole screen turns dark, even the menu letters, when i press the MENU button on the remote. When the scene is bright, sunlight etc picture is really nice, cause the dimming is off. I went to the service menu and then at the OPTION menu, and at the Dimming setting has ANA-P3 as default. The other settings it has are ANA/PWM-P3 PWM ANA/PWM-N3 ANA-N3 ANA/PWN-P5 ANA-P5 ANA/PWM-N5 ANA-N5 There is no Dimming ON/OFF button... although a friend of mine that has the 32S71 model it clearly says Dimming ON/OFF. Anybody that would help me it would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I purchased a Samsung LE23R71WX in late November last year and haven't had any problems like the one described, the only time it dims on mine is when it's left completely inactive for 5 - 10 mins, it dims then to reduce screen burn but I haven't noticed it adjust the brightness according to whats displayed on the screen.

MasterYoda Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Shit, then something does happen when you press Info when your TV is on? Because on my 27'' model nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 If you're watching DTV then the Info button should bring up information about the program you're watching. E.g. episode summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
