In the rare “good news” category, I had a serendipitous moment of clumsiness last night. While maneuvering the remote control from under the lump of cat on my lap, I accidentally pressed a button that changed the “Mode” of my picture to “Dynamic” from “Mild”. I had forgotten such a feature existed, if I ever knew.
Anyway, the picture is ten times brighter/sharper than it used to be, just in time for the NCAA’s and the WBC.
