How to fix 'House of the Dragon' episode 7 from being too dark (Mashable)

Fans of "House of the Dragon" compare episode 7's dark night scenes to those in the "Game of Thrones" episode "The Long Night."

[CNET](https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/watch-house-of-the-dragon-episode-6-the-right-way-on-your-tv/) also recommends changing other TV settings, like switching to Movie, Cinema, or Calibrated picture modes and turning off motion smoothing. "The Long Night," episode 3 of Season 8, was famously lambasted by fans for being too dark to watch. Since much of "Driftmark" took place at night, entire scenes of dialogue or dragon-stealing were left in the dark, with characters appearing as blurry blobs against a black background.

How to Make House of the Dragon's Dark Episode Easier to See - IGN (IGN)

House of the Dragon's seventh episode, Driftmark, is once again proving a pain for fans who are calling it too dark. Here's why it's so dark along with some ...

Overall contrast — that is to say, the difference between whites and blacks — is pretty poor and the overall picture is kind of a washed-out gray, but I at least can make out what is going on. With the Hisense, I usually have these set to those levels all the time because I have it set up in a room with a lot of windows and I need that brightness to overcome the glare. I managed to get a pretty bright scene by making sure that my backlight was at high and the backlight level was at 100. You can expect the colors for the whole episode to be a bit wonky when you have Vivid selected, but at least you’ll be able to see what is going on. This is probably the only time I will recommend watching anything in Vivid since it usually warps the colors so badly, but here I will make an exception for the sake of visual clarity. Hisense has far less of a limitation, as it can get more than twice as bright as the Sony. Even with all of my other brightness settings such luminance and backlight turned up to max, the scene is pretty difficult to make out in either of these settings. Some TVs do have ways of making the picture in this particular episode easier to see, I just wouldn’t go so far as to say it is a blanket “improvement” since there are tradeoffs. When I fire up the show, it automatically changes from standard definition to Dolby Vision, which I can see when I go to the Picture Settings. I do want to take this time to mention that adjusting “brightness” and “contrast” on most TVs doesn’t actually make the picture brighter or increase, but instead tends to just wash out what little image is there. While some televisions will let you turn HDR off entirely and bypass this problem, many televisions do not — or make it so confusing to do so that it’s not worth trying to figure it out just to enjoy one episode of a weekly show. Filmmakers are just as much artists as photographers, painters, and sculptors, so there is some level of creative license that they have for the content they produce.
