Re: Roku TCL TV insanely dim/dark screen
Did you ever get this problem resolved? I am having the same or similar problem regarding dim/dark screen. I have also submitted a support ticket. Have tried many factory resets, etc. Nothing works.

Re: Roku TCL TV insanely dim/dark screen
I'm having the same problem but i have soft reset, hard reset, factory reset, cycled through the brightness settings, unplugged while the TV was on, held the power button while the TV was unplugged, left unplugged for 10 mins. Its still the same very dim screen and I made sure it was updated. What else can I do?

Re: Roku TCL TV insanelysame dim/dark screen
This solution worked for me. But I'm not looking forward to doing this often. I've had the TV for less than a month. Has anyone returned the TV due to this problem? Is it TCL or Roku? I suspect it's TCL.

Re: Roku TCL TV insanelysame dim/dark screen
Go into settings and see what mode your tv is on I had it on vivid & my tv went very dim I switched it to movie & normal and it’s no longer dim sometimes those modes give out
