Video's look misty or foggy

Postby fred44nl » 05 Dec 2018 17:43

I am running VLC 3.0.4 on Debian 9.6 Stretch.
when showing video's on my TV, using a HDMI connection, video's look some kind of misty or foggy.
tried to change the contrast and brightness in steps, but that does not change much.

any suggestions ??
thanks

Hi,

By any way, are you playing HDR videos?

Is it the same with other players ?

the video's are 1080p - HD, which is not HDR.
I have no other players to test it.

that would be difficult, as everything goes over ssh and vnc
however, I have been playing with the picture settings of my TV
and there seems to be more brightness than usual.
so, I turned that down in steps, and it looks better now.
