AppleTV too dark on MacBook Pro

I've seen this question asked about TVs, but not about viewing AppleTV on a computer. I just started my subscription and can hardly see the picture.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

AppleTV too dark on MacBook Pro Watching Silo episode 2 on my Mac Book Pro (M1). Very, very dark - cannot see much. The display is on and functional. Other programs (not video) all display fine. My son came in and wanted to watch the show as well. Plugged in an HDMI monitor - Boom, the screen brightens to a normal level to watch a show that has a darker scene. You can see like you should be able to. Something is wrong with the adjustment for the internal screen that makes Apple TV (and others) display too dark. Not sure how to fix this...

why is screen very dark when streaming apple TV on MacBook? why is screen very dark when streaming apple TV on MacBook? Apple TV actually streams better onto my Samsung TV. On my MacBook Air (new with updated software), the screen is too dark to see faces, etc. Yes, I have manually adjusted the brightness. It's not enough to actually see much of anything.

The notebook screen would dim a bit when on battery (not AC connected), unless that feature is turned off.

Could that be it?

No. Everything else looks normal.
