Have you already tried adjusting the GAMMA setting? Or turning off the BLACK TONE setting? Both can be found after hitting MENU/PICTURE/ADVANCE SETTINGS

Anyone experienced led ghosting (light leaks) in a full black screen? If so, how was your exchange experience?

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.

I would try looking through the ambx forums. Some users have worked through various issues with these lights and have documented their fixes. Make sure to download the latest software and follow their install instructions. Good Luck!

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?

Sensitivity to darkness is excellent. I comes out when light is very low, but not pitch black dark.

I had the same problem but I finally discovered the cause. I had one of the lights close to the sensor on the unit. When the light was off, everything was dark and the light came on. After a short while the unit sensed light and shut off.

Not trying to sound like a smart-ass but did you plug it in all the way? I had that issue one night while trying to get pix of the northern lights. After coming inside and seeing it in good light, I pushed it in further and problem was fixed. Pat's answer is great advice.

I have a brand new Sony KDL-37W5500 that has the same problem: backlight "whine" when the screen is predominantly dark. I have tried all possible backlight levels and the problem persists on all of them (but setting 2 minimizes it). When I have the volume low at night this whine cuts through and is VERY noticeable.I have emailed Sony customer support about it - if it can't be fixed I will look elsewhere for a TV...

I have the same issue. The documentation says it has to be completely dark for the nightlight to work, but I personally do not think the night lite function works at all

What is your issue because I am also having issues with the light distance not extending out far enough on the road making it very difficult to see at night.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

Yes, but I had problems with the video cutting out when playing dark scenes, i.e., Silent Hill 2. Not sure if it was just my unit or not.

I have not seen this problem. Sounds like it could be a technical issue, rather than your settings.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

Similar thing happened to me. Adjusted backlight and power off settings to longer minutes. Seemed to do the trick

I'm having the same problem...I think that the brightness change with power demands...I don't know.
