Sony XBR65X930C Auto Local Dimming Question

Should Auto Local Dimming be on or off for the Sony XBR65X930C tv?

Well if it is an option, I would think it would be personal preference.

What I've heard is that edge lit tvs don't do local dimming that well, so I was hoping to get opinions on whether it should be on or off for this tv.

as reedo said... there is no correct answer. it is down to your opinion of what you personally like more. it is done to create more contrast or deeper blacks but has certain downfalls as well.

mine is not edge lit (i have an older ccfl backlit model) but is a sony with non-local auto-dimming and i finally got fed up with it. the tv constantly adjusts the backlight and goes light-dark-light-dark which is very annoying. i finally just set it to game mode so it stays at a constant setting. while i might lose out on deep blacks for some scenes this is preferrable to me as the flickering from scene to scene just got on my last nerve. my opinion of course.

now, on grid-array backlit tvs zone backlighting/auto-backlighting certainly makes alot of sense. on some multi-edge lit tvs its not terrible as well.

read me!

Well the tv does have a HDR setting, so I'm wondering in the local dimming would need to be on or if the HDR would be fine by itself.
