This reference the new TCL 55" 4K HDR LED tv I bought yesterday.
The backlight setting was at 100% out of the box. So was Contrast but I expected that and duly reduced it to non-torch range (44% at the moment).
So if Backlight is kept high, say north of 75%, does it risk more burn-in or otherwise shorten or compromise the life and performance of the LED panel? I'm used to calibrating the picture using only Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, and choosing a color temp (warm, normal, cool). Backlight adds a variable I've yet to figure out how to balance with Brightness and Contrast since it seems to amplify both. I have Backlight at 80% at the moment.
