Root, I am right there with you on the annoying factor. I am really very curious as to how drastic this is. I have started a thread on a similar "effect" that I get from the BV5. I experience this every time i watch a movie at night. I would love to know if your TV actually does not switch the illumination when the lamp is on, or if having

Thanks again for the response Callen. I have tried just about every setting back and forth. The film mode setting does not seem to affect it. It is interesting to me that you have experienced it with the dvd1. This problem is also present in all of the inputs availibe on the BV5.

Callen, i use a xbox and ps3 through the component input - RGB. Unfortunately i am able to replicate the problem no matter what the source is. I can cause changes to happen whenever i put a bright image or a mostly white image. This means that if i creep through a particular scene in a movie frame by frame i can actually see the brightness/contrast

Still no solution, this has been frustrating. I am suprised that no one else has experienced this with the Beovision 5. It really seems as if it is a setting that can be changed to stop the brightness levels from switching. Anyone?? I feel useless haha

Thanks again for the suggestions guys. I have tried covering the sensor, no differences so that is not the problem. I also have used multiple inputs and different sources that all seem to have this feature/problem. This seems to be not so common.

Thanks for the response! i have tried every adjustment possible to see if various settings actually made a difference for this problem. It seems that it might not be normal if you have not experienced this at all. kind of a bummer as any idea of what could be wring might be able to help me narrow down what would fix it. Thanks again and if anyone knows

Hey guys i am new to the forum. I just purchased a used very clean bv5 mk2 from 2005. I really love the tv but one thing that really bugs me is a constant brightness/contrass change depending on the picture. In scences of a movie where the image is a lighter color or brighter scence the TV seems to increase the brightness or change the contrast.it is
