Bought this TV because I thought it would be a dimmer TV for a bedroom, however, this Sony is unexpectedly too bright for me. It's not the peak brightness in content, it's the overall light output of the TV (Anyone know the correct terminology for that)? Have tweaked settings as recommended, also for easy on eyes. But even with the brightness on MINIMUM, it's still very bright for me. The home menu is the worst.

Basically, if this TV was a lightbulb, it could use a dimmer switch or lower wattage.

Questions:

1. This is my first Sony, are they all this bright?
2. Am limited because I need 43 inch, anyone have any less bright TV suggestions? (cheap TVs ok) Just want to watch a few streaming shows.
3. Are there any Settings to knock down brightness I might have overlooked?
4. At the store, the Sony Bravia 2ii was dimmer than this one, so am considering that, but it wasn't showing the home menu, so hard to tell. Anyone have feedback on comparative screen brightness on the 2 ii model, or the Bravia 3? Thanks so much.

On some new LED TVs now, the picture on the screen is constantly moving. Even in a stationary shot, the picture is composed of clouds that break up, swirl, re-form, with some sparkling too.

(This isn't a repair or panel question. It's just what some screens look like now.) It can make the picture look soft and mushy, instead of sharp and clear.

In contrast, my 9-year-old basic LED TV does this only very slightly, and it's only visible an inch away from the screen. But at the store, this effect was visible on some new TVs from 10 feet away. It gave me motion sickness.

Tweaking the settings on one of these TVs didn't help eliminate this effect. 

Questions:

1. Is there a descriptive word for this? 
2. What causes this? And why could older LEDs create a more stable picture?
3. Is this maybe the result of pixels trying to create a picture? 
4. Is there any way to stop this?

Whatever this is, would like to know what it's called, so can avoid it if possible. Thx
