PS5 welcome screen dimmer on the left side? (Help)

You know how you can set your own background on PS5 now -- only for the welcome screen tab.

It used to be uniformly bright across the entire background, but today after choosing a new picture, for some reason the left half is significantly dimmer than the right half. Is there a reason for this, and is there a setting to adjust the dimness/brightness for this tab?

Okay, doing a cursory Google search:

--First thing you actually want to do is check your PS5. For some people, switching the brightness and HDMI settings to default and then setting them to your desired settings fixes the problem. (FYI I don't own a PS5)

If you have a spare TV/monitor on hand and want to take a shortcut through all of this, you might try the suggestion at the bottom of the page (plus spare TV/monitor into PS5 and see if the problem appears) Note that this may cause a false positive for your current TV/monitor if the actual culprit is a loose connection or the monitor simply needed to be unplugged then plugged back in.

--Check all your plug-ins and make sure they're not loose. This includes any connections bet. the TV and PS5, TV/PS5 to the surge protector, and surge protector to wall outlet.
--Unplug each device for 10 to 40 seconds then plug it back in. For the connections to power sources, you'll want those turned off, first after shutting down your PS5.
--Turn the power off to all devices, then turn them back on.
--Run a "Screen Test" on your TV/monitor if that function exists.

If none of these work, then something is wrong with your TV or PS5. In this case, the first thing to do is plug your PS5 into a different TV/monitor (if you don't have one, then ask a friend or neighbor if they can bring one over)
If the defect appears on that monitor, then the problem is obviously with your PS5.

I'll look into all those suggestions, thanks.

The biggest takeaway I can find is that it's not a TV or PS5 issue, it seems. Games and TV shows look fine, it's just specifically the background desktop images of the Games tab of the PS5 that's dim on the left side (this extends to the individual background of each game as well).

It seems to be a purposeful aesthetic thing, but I don't recall it being a thing before, and I don't see any setting to toggle it.

The background image is supposed to look like that, with the left side going a bit darker. Its a part of the theme I guess you could say. It looks like that for my images also.

Its hard to tell since this is just a pic taken with my phone, but yeah its just how background custom images for this new tab works.

Yeah, seems so. I just don't remember it being that dim before, which makes me think it's a newer update? Cuz the background I have has a character to the left side, and I've always been able to see them clearly until now.

Guess there's no way to toggle it off, though. Which sucks.
