Crimes against dynamic-contrast

When i had my old TV back in January, a week before i was scheduled to get an xbox 360, the TV decided to die on me. Since i was getting a 360 it seemed appropriate to a HD TV, which i did. In the period between now and then, I’ve always thought that the games I’ve played were awfully dark, but since the games I’ve been playing were mostly on the 360 i believed it to be part of the game, dynamic lighting and the rest, so i accepted it as the normal.
Now, i decided to play Elder Scroll III: Morrowind on my xbox, with a brand new controller s to boot. So as i was playing it suddenly became night after resting and bloody hell was it dark, i couldn't see anything. It certainly wasn't this dark when i played on my old TV. This had to be sorted out, i had tried it once before for the 360 but no success. Today was different i stumbled across a new option, which the title may give away, anyway it was dynamic contrast. Despite the name it does no such thing, it does make bright sections darker, but it also makes dark areas even darker, WTF?!

Conclusion, it has been disabled and now I’m enjoying my games the way they were supposed to seen.
