You only have to watch older programs such as Midsummer murders to realise it's not your tele but the way the actors speak nowdays, in the older programs you can hear every word!

I have just bought a soundbar and the difference is amazing, when I started this topic I didnt know if it was me,the actors or the tv,I can now tell everything they say,like most things not cheap for a decent one, but I can highly recommend them to anyone having the same problem.

I say time and again to my wife, what are they saying ? You either can't hear them becuse they mumble, or the back ground music is far too loud. You have my sympathies

The recent drama - "shadow dancer" was pretty mumbly & quite. With the thick Ulster accents it was difficult. Shame, it was a great drama otherwise. The Wolf hall series just started is also very dark. It's difficult to see what's happening very often.

Another one that gets me, is that the lighting balance is too often set for caucasian skin tones; get a great black actor like Idris Elba or Adrian Lester, and they tend to disappear. Have a look next time Patrick comes on Eastenders and you'll see what I mean.
That's very interesting. We were speculating a while ago if it was something to do with lighting when we both had trouble seeing a black actor's facial expressions.
It seems absurd that with huge advances in film and sound technology, they still struggle to get the basics right.

Last Night I watched an episode of Inspector Lindley, or to be more precise, I watched part of it because it was awful. Not only does the actor who plays Lindley mumble but the lighting was terrible. Most of the indoor shots were taken against the light with a window behind the subject or with side lighting. This made it look as if the subjects had a halo of light all round them.
I know if you walk into a room and see somebody stood between you and a brightly lit window you are not going to be able to see them very clearly so I suppose in that sense it was natural, but nevertheless still very annoying in a film. In reality you would move to a position where you could see them clearly but in this episode it was a case of listening to a mumbling blur.
