When using build in apps. Like apple tv+/Netflix and more The settings HDMI Black level is set to low.

I need it to be set to normal.

If I use my apple tv as source HDMI levev is set to Auto. Same here, I need to set it to normal.

 

I can't change the HDMI settings as it is grated out. Anyone know how to set the HDMI black level?

 

I have an Samsung QN85a modell

I have a laptop connected over HDMI. The blacks don't look black, but dark grey. (The blacks of the on-screen settings menu looks more black, than the blacks on my PC windows. It's Linux and uses an RGB 4:4:4 color encoding))

I want to adjust my the Black level on my Samsung XL2370HD screen as you described, but the option "Black Tone" is greyed out (see pictures).

How can I make the blacks look really black on my Samsung screen?

The laptop is connected over HDMI, so is an external device to the screen:
