TV manufacturers have been releasing new models with increased brightness capabilities every year, but there is still a lack of consensus on how best to achieve this. Some manufacturers argue that auto brightness should be turned off by default in order to save power, while others maintain that it can be a valuable feature and should be enabled on some models. The debate over auto brightness is likely to continue for years to come, as different manufacturers offer different solutions and technologies. However, one thing is for sure: in 2022, TVs will likely have increased brightness capabilities thanks to advances in technology and design.
One of the reasons most televisions don’t have auto brightness is that they don’t use it properly. The backlight is an entirely separate feature, dimming the entire display. You can adjust the backlight brightness manually to get the exact level of brightness you want. When it comes to day-to-day adjustments, the backlight works better. Unlike the frontlight, it is more sensitive to light, so adjusting it isn’t a good idea unless you want to recalibrate the image.
Another issue is that many televisions do not have the ability to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen. These televisions may be set on Movie Mode, or the brightness can be adjusted manually if you want to watch a movie in the dark. In addition, many manufacturers don’t provide this feature. That’s a huge oversight, because the display will be automatically brighter when the sun sets and will make the display look unappealing for some users.
