Refund request for Apple TV+ subscriptions

The entire TV series was made to be viewable on television. That’s the whole idea. Making it a black screen with almost nothing visible is a disservice to the story and a poor decision by the series makers.

Doesn’t even show decent definition on my MacBook Air….

Turn off FilmMaker mode on your TV. If you are unable to find the setting on your TV, update with the model number and I may be able to direct you to the location. TV's now are set by default to use FilmMaker mode and even in your manual it will likely say the using FilmMaker mode will make shows appear dark. You will see a dramatic difference with this turned off. Watching it on your iPhone will not do the series justice.

If you just subscribed to Apple TV+ to watch Silo, it would have come with at least a 7 day free trial if you had not previously used a trial for the service. If you are within the trial period, just cancel and you will not be charged.

I think it could be the way the show was mastered. Remember the famous unwatchable scenes in GOT. They were probably mastered on a Sony Professional monitor with 4000 nits on a 10% window. The Dolby Vision rendition was far too dark no matter how you watched it. If you look at Severance also on Apple TV Dolby Vision rendition, even in the most darkest scenes - it’s excellent, visible, watchable and retains great black levels while still retaining visibility of the scene. There’s a number of poor dark mastering tv shows, unfortunately we all haven’t got 4000 nits TVs.

The entire series is shot using dimly lit sets. Remember, this takes place in a buried silo. That’s the whole idea. It’s dark with no sunlight.

Sorry but your opinion is blathering nonsense.
