the universe of game of thrones already He played a trick on us a few years ago. The third episode of the eighth season of the series will be remembered forever by the famous «Sicansíos». And it is that the voice actors of the series saw the episode even more blindly than us, so they had to manage as best they could.
Game of Thrones 8×03 showed us that we have to set the tv right to be prepared for dark scenes. However, the HBO platform deserved a good slap on the wrist at that time, since the compression that was done to the video did not help too much either. In any case, this is what you have to do so that your television correctly shows the dark scenes of The House of the Dragon.

For many, the seventh episode of The House of the Dragon has been dominated by the tension of its scenes. However, others have not been able to keep an eye on the plot that happens in Driftmark because of the darkness of the socketswidespread complaint that has ended up reaching the offices of HBO, where they defend themselves by indicating that it has been something 100% intentional and that responds to a creative decision.
Still, if you didn’t see the episode well and want to prepare your television for the future -or to watch the chapter again-, take note and make the following changes in the your tv settings:
- Activate Movie Mode or Cinema Mode: These two modes are technically known as ‘Calibrated Mode’. Basically, your television is only going to give one hundred percent of its performance in this mode.
- Increase contrast, not brightness: Your TV’s brightness should be set somewhere in the middle. When we see a dark scene, the first impulse that jumps out at us is to turn up the brightness. However, the really useful thing is to increase the contrast. Only in this way will the illuminated areas be differentiated from the non-illuminated ones.
- Turn off auto light sensor: Don’t let the TV make adjustments based on sensors that trigger automation. Also disable any type of power saving mode that the screen has.
- Turn off motion smoothing: This parameter should not even exist, but it usually comes by default on all televisions. You will gain a plus of image quality if you deactivate it.
In addition to all this, it is vital that you watch the dark episodes in a dimly lit environment. Ideally, use a dim light behind the television, and turn off any light that could cause reflections on the surface of the screen.
