I presume this is a LED? If yes, that's the very reason why I am keeping to my Plasma.
Except Plasma has already gone obsolete and completely replaced by OLEDs .
( my trusty kuro is still alive and kicking and has a special place in my heart )
It is one of the most basic TV models from the brand . Comparing it with Plasma is not exactly reasonable .
For most people who are looking for TV in this price range , beside the promise of being a 4k TV you really should not be expecting anything .
Anything more is considered a bonus .
In some cases , those RGBW budget models can't even deliver true 4K resolution .
With that being said , OP's problems most likely have something to do with the settings .
For certain TVs , the brightness setting actually does not adjust the luminance . Instead it changes the gamma settings which you really shouldn't be doing without proper test patterns and calibrating experiences .
Try changing the viewing mode to " Cinema " and adjust the " Backlight " settings instead of brightness .
Without actually attending to his TV , I can't really do anything because the description is too vague .
This is why we need to look for brands which have better out of the box settings and calibrate our displays .
Although in this case , the calibrating tools and services are most likely going to cost more than the TV itself ...
