Plex app on Sony XR75X95L does not enable local dimming during content on most movies and series during playback.
Local dimming is supposed to enable when content is played, but the Plex app does not seem to trigger local dimming during playback of most of my HDR&DV content. Other apps work as expected, though.
I just tried the same movie with the Kodi app and there the local dimming worked perfectly. So it has to be an Plex issue since its the same file.
Maybe it would already be a benefit if you could choose to watch the content in DV or HDR?
Dear God, yes this x1000! I just came here after some google searching and going down the rabbit hole to realize that Plex doesn’t support local dimming on the native app on the Sony X95L TV’s (I have the X95L 85 inch). Apparently it’s aspect ratio dependent. When it’s the full 16x9 (so like 1.73:1) it kicks in. But 2.40:1 it doesn’t kick in.
Please plex, fix this!!!
Thinking about just using Kodi for the time being until plex or sony fixes this. How is using it overall?
Wow, this really seems to be connected to the aspect ratio.
Please Plex Team fix this soon.
Seing the same on my 85" X95L. I reported the issue back in August but to no response 
This is really annoying…
Somehow Jellyfin already fixed this issue so till now there is ony Plex left with this problem…
Would be nice if some of the Dev’s could look into this and give us an update on how and when this will get fixed
Why is no Developer interested in this topic or even replying?
Over here I have the same issues with the X95L (over 3 months later), @devs please fix this. When I load up the Plex App on my PS5 and play the exact same file the problems do not occur so it’s the internal app in combination with Plex aspect ratio. The problem seems to indeed be happening when the content is not 16:9, see also similar threads describing this issue:
Please Pleas Please Devs take a look into this…
Other apps like Jellyfin somehow already fixed this with their latest releases so there needs to be a solution out there
So still no update on this from any dev?
