Apple movies are too dark on high definition on ipad pro 2022

I have just recently purchased my iPad pro 11’ 2022 and noticed the movie quality for hd are pretty dark I tried turning on the Bright settings to full is there any other way possible to get it brighter and clear to watch. I tried already resetting the ipad to a factory settings and is still with the issue. Its just the apple tv + app. Youtube or netflix works fine. I have noticed also that when i approach a flashlight to the light sensor on top of the ipad, the video increases its bright, but when i move away the flashlight, the screen comes back to turn dark.

iPad Pro, 11-inch, 4th Gen, Wi-Fi

First of all thanks for your time answering. You right on what you saying, however the ipad only does that playing movies/series on apple tv+ app, not with other apps or mode. And i have to mention that the brightness was already 100%, so it is rare enough.

You moving to the flashlight and iPad increasing brightness is normal, this is a feature called ‘Auto Brightness’ and auto adjusts your brightness depending on your surroundings.

If the screen is still not bright enough for you, go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > make sure Reduce White Point is off.

There are no settings on iPad for HDR/Dolby.

Choose appropriate material to download or stream; many providers allow you to choose the version that is appropriate for your device.

HDR and DolbyVision encoded material has a wider dynamic range than standard video content - and may appear appear too dark unless the device (and screen) support these video coding standards. You may need to choose video material that is not HDR/Dolby encoded.
