    That's one of the features of this TV, but it annoyed the h**l outta me and made it impossible to adjust proper black level. I found out how to get rid of it in the service menu:

    with TV power off, press on the remote: mute, 1, 8, 2, power

    Now go to "video adjust2" screen and take down all 3 "B stretch" levels to 0. This turns off the auto-brightness feature. And of course, write down all settings before changing them.

    If you do this, could you do me a big favor? While in the service menu, please write down and pass along the settings on the "video adjust1" & "G2-adjust" screens. Would be a big help. I've changed mine and lost my file with the defaults written down.

    Btw, I also figured out how to reduce the red push, turn off VSM & make this TV multi-system to accept a PAL signal. After all my tweaking, this is one helluva $350 set. Only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to adjust the amount of squeeze since it doesn't squeeze down enough (picture is too tall). Only thing I could do was change the overall hieght, but that changed the non-squeeze mode to be too short. Right now I have it set so that the error between the two is equal. Pretty much looks normal.
