Default LCD Backlight question (Samsung)

Have you done anything with the settings? Most TVs come from the factory on "display mode" with all settings at maximum. Which, of course would max out the power-supply.

Find the "Settings" mode and crank down the brightness and balance the colors to something more realistic.

Note: Depending on the design of the unit, you will have to reset each time there is a power-failure of more than a very few minutes. They should be checked every so often, anyway.
