SONY - KDL-40RD453 - Over bright picture

[birchy7]

hi,
I was at a customers house this morning to check out the above tv,
Everything with the tv is fine apart from a constant over bright/contrast picture on all channels & inputs.
In the the setting i've turned down the levels of the brightness/contrast & the backlight level...this does bring the brightness down but each picture still shows a higher than normal brightness. any ideas?
I'll upload photos once i find my data cable.
cheers

Maybe try a different mode like movie mode or something, if it has it... Maybe it is set to something similar like dynamic or auto, which adjusts for the LCD brightness with the brightness of the room?

hi Capleaker, i've done a factory reset on the tv, but fault persists,
thanks for your input though!

That sounds like a bad Gamma IC on the T-CON Bd.
