About Black Level Test
Set TV and monitor brightness the right way with black bar patterns that reveal crushed or gray blacks.
Black level decides how dark the darkest parts of a picture look and how much shadow detail you keep. Set it too low and dark scenes lose detail, known as black crush. Set it too high and blacks look gray and washed out. The brightness control on most TVs and monitors actually sets black level, and a black level test with PLUGE style bars is the easiest way to get it right.
How To Set Black Level
- Open the black bars pattern in a dim room.
- Lower brightness until the darkest bars disappear into black.
- Raise brightness slowly until they just become visible again.
- Stop there, so blacks stay deep while shadow detail stays visible.
Limited Vs Full Range
If the bars never disappear or all look the same, your source and TV may be using different video ranges. Match HDMI black level or RGB range on both the device and the TV, usually Limited for TV boxes and Full for PCs.
Which App The Install Button Opens
The button opens TV Calibration on Google Play, a popular pattern app for Android TV and TV boxes. Its black bars model is made for exactly this step, and it also offers white bars for contrast, color and overscan checks.
