Have a 65” Samsung tv that’s probably 5-6 years old. When watching, if the scene is vibrant colors it’s perfectly fine, but if the scenes are dark, or not a lot of light it isn’t very clear at all, and you can see the rings of color changes like the contrast is way off or something. I’ve messed with the settings that I could find, but it didn’t really help. Anyone have any ideas?

What you got? OLED? LCD? Plasma? CRT? What model of Samsung?

This is your TV outwardly rejecting the new Harry Potter series due to the miscasting of Prof. Snape

Yes, upgrade and get a new TV. These days you can get upwards of 75" TVs for like $500.
It is incredible how far TV prices have fallen. 20 years ago my buddies and I used to go look at TVs at Best Buy and our "dream TV" was a 50" Pioneer plasma TV. This thing was just a monitor too...did not come with speakers at all. And it was $10,000. Nowadays you can get a 50" TV for like $150.

Don't just get the cheapest big tv you find. Look for the next model up that probably runs $100 more or so and has a high contrast in black scenes. They all have vivid bright colors, but only the better tvs perform better with dark images.

I'd recommend staying away from Sony. I've been a loyal customer of Sony but the past 2 Bravia's (75 & 80 inch models) I've bought have had back light issues after a year or so. Not a huge issue, but it's noticeable when the screen goes white.

In my office at home, I still have an old RCA from 1981 that works. You can borrow it until you get your new tv.
