    So far so good but these one are terrible.
    The colors just don't pop—they’re washed out and grayish, like there’s a shower curtain hanging over the screen. Long story short, it looks terrible.

    I know this has been discussed a lot on this forum, but how come the first one looks fantastic and the rest is so bad it's unwatchable?

    To try and nail this down, first try TV Led vs Player Led Dolby Vision for the same file and see how they compare to one another.

    Mark, let's do this later. I'm really not up for it right now. A close friend of mine just got sick, so I've kind of lost interest in this for now. Sorry.
