This model has separate picture settings (brigthness, tint, color, etc.) for each different viewing mode. What needs to happen is, while watching a DVD, you will need to go in to your seetings and adjust Black Level, Dimmer and any other settings to your liking. If you are not sure how to access this menu, your manual - page 37 - will have the information (as well as details about each setting). If you can not find your manual, you can use this http://www.manualowl.com/m/Hitachi/57F500/Manual/72565
