Dolby Vision Dark

I have an LG C1 tv and when watching Dolby Vision content on Sky Stream it appears darker than if I was to use the built in apps or Apple TV. All of the settings are exactly the same yet there is a noticeable drop in brightness. Any ideas?

You might need to tweak the colour and brightness settings on the HDMI port the puck if connected to....

The settings are exactly the same as my Apple TV yet the Dolby Vision is much more dull.

That'll most likely be on a different HDMI port. Modern TV's have different settings for each HDMI port for customisation. I've got different settings on mine for each device that connected, PS5, Stream and a Roku stick...

It also might be worthwhile checking your settings on the puck to make sure Dolby Vision is outputting correctly

Make sure your TV isn't selecting the Dolby Vision Bright picture mode for the Apple TV box and Dolby Vision Dark for the Stream puck.

Content will mostly look better and brighter when viewing the same content via an Apple TV, it's a better quality streaming box with more processing power @stuartmcd Sky stream does a good job but can't beat Apple.
