Setting the contrast at high levels creates a halo effect. _________________________ AvFan Outlaw 976 \| ATI 2005 \| M&K 850s Left, Center & Right, Surround-55s, MX-70B Sub \| Harmony 950 remote \| Panamax 5100 \| OPPO UDP-203 \| LG OLED55B7

Setting the contrast at high levels creates a halo effect. That would be my guess. I was shopping for TV's for my mom 2 weeks ago and I checked the menu of every set we looked at...and every one was set at max contrast and color. _________________________ HT: Pioneer VSX-1120 Salk Songbirds, SongCenter, SongSurrounds Panasonic BDP-45 Outlaw LFM-2 2 Channel: Red Dragon M-500 monoblocks BAT-VK3i Salk HT-1TL's Apple TV Beresford 7520 DAC Surgex XS10
