99% of nowadays tv have a high contrast. Tune down the contrast (which usually called picture) on the menu setting. Most manufacturer turn up the picture to the highest as the factory default setting. Turn it down to reduce glare and flickering and eye strain. Turn it down like 70 - 80 perecent at the least. Also, if you have a Sony Wega tv, there is this mode that called VM (Velocity Modulation), some tv called it scan velocity modulation. The default setting it low, turn it to off. I didn\'t know before and I turn it to high and it\'s a bad thing for tv. it reduce the lifespan for tv if it turn it low or high. and not only that, it also reduce the frame rate sent out the tv screen. Instead of running about 60 fields per second, it will reduce to about 40 fields or so...making video games running not as smooth as it should be and blurry.
This is very noticeable if you have played final fantasy x. The game was implemented with motion blurred and out of focus distance. It really annoying and I hate square for implementing it. It\'s much more blurry and annoying if you turned up VM was set to on. So, turn it off for a smooth 60 fields on screen.
