On thing I noticed about this TV (all others probably similar), is the blue was set too high. Blue causes the screen to look artificially brighter. When you put it on Vivid mode, the blue is off the charts.
That probably explains why the screen now looks dimmer. The colors are balanced instead of some artificial coloring, just to make it look brighter.
He got, 41 lumins (I think), with either cinima, or bright room, I don't remember which.
Before calibration, using the 3D glasses, THX 3D lumins was about 4, and Vivid was about 6. Those glasses really cut the light.
But after calibration, with 3D glasses, THX 3D had 12 lumins.
