Compared to my SW, the screen on my tv of my BM66 is pretty washed out. You can still make out the image on the tv but its not very vibrant. I didnt see a test for the tv or settings for it. Anyone familiar with where to check connections for the tv?

i don't think so. mine is faded. big difference vs the game field screen on star wars. that's backlight and bright. to be honest, i don't even notice the batman tv when i play the game. not sure what it shows. same with the big screen for that matter.

I’ve noticed this as well.

There’s a lot of things that contribute towards that look (in addition to quality of led and/or signal).

- it’s at an angle behind the faux-tv housing with a noticeable gap between the two.
- that angle faces upwards into the backbox reflection on tour glass
- the GI lights are bright

Those three are all diluting the visibility through a trifecta of visual interference and competition.

This is me just chattering away with theories - I am not a television repair person, nor do I play one on TV.

The biggest thing is viewing angle. The screen goes from meh to mushrooms if you look at it sideways.

I would happily upgrade that thing if I could.

It has to be a universal part, no?

I once heard a podcast about someone upgrading their Rick and Marty LED for better angle viewing.

That all being said, I never look at the thing anyway. It’s all washed out.
