Hello @sohaib152,

 

what source are you playing the video from?

 

Are the letterboxing bars encoded into the video (what I assume is the case)?

 

If so, the letterboxing bars are not perfectly black and therefore don't show as perfect black probably.

 

So many people on YouTube (and it also is the case for some Netflix and Amazon Prime movies) still don't encode the video in its default aspect ratio (for which then the TV "adds" the black bars in perfect black). It's so annoying in my eyes.

Hello @sohaib152,

 

does the same happen if you play e.g. this video on the TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXiSN8Tftjg

 

If it doesn't happen there, then it is an issue with how HBO encodes their movies on their plattform.

Hi @sohaib152,

 

that is beyond weird - sure you are not using a Sony X90L? That would be a full array dimming LED TV, which would explain why the highlights "bloom" into the black letterboxing bars.

If it is an OLED (like the model from your title) I don't really see why that would happen. Even on my X95K (also LED with local dimming) black bars are perfectly black.
